| 2001 Piancornello Brunello di Montalcino (Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino) | 9/11/2010 | kcsteve | 92 |
Opened to air 5 hrs before consumption. Nice floral with black fruit aroma. Medium body but full of Blackberries and wonderful tannins. Super balance. Will last many more years and should improve. (2983 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

| 2007 Domaine Saint-Pierre Vacqueyras (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Vacqueyras) | 8/22/2010 | kcsteve | 90 |
Inky in color. Nose of Dark fruit and bramble. Very extracted; heavy. Nice well rounded palate; ran though Venturi twice but needed more time in air. Vacuum sealed and finished next night, leaving open to air for 1 hr. Much better. Needs more cellar time. Not my style but nice wine, especially for the price.

| 2002 Rubicon Estate Rubicon (USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford) | 7/30/2010 | kcsteve | 92 |
Currant, blackberry, herbs. Daughter's wedding rehearsal and waiter didn't decant. After 2 hours of being open, settled down and became like velvet. Mild tannins, good acidity, nice long finish. Bordeaux style. (5231 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

Wonderful aroma upon opening. On palate; orange, nuts, pear. Seemed less crisp than last bottle. Everything was in place except the finish was a bit short this time. Great feel in mouth. (4499 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 2006 Salva Tierra Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley) | 7/9/2010 | kcsteve | 89 |

| 2005 Pierre et Jean Baptiste Lebreuil Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune) | 7/8/2010 | kcsteve | 90 |
Not as thin in appearance as many Pinots. Dark red but translucent. Very tight upon opening. Let stand in bottle 1 hr. Better but still tight. Need to decant! Sour to tart cherry with mineral note. Little strawberry in the background. Very good acidity and med finish.
Vacuum sealed and refrigerated. 2 days later was much more open and the cherry popped. Tannins had settled. Think this will be much better in a couple of years. (2944 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
