  • 2014 Hans Igler Vulcano 88 Points

    Austria, Burgenland, Mittelburgenland

    Clear and transparent, ruby red. In the bouquet a bit locked, dark and red berries as well as green herbs. On the palate the same impressions, good acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Very ok wine. Give it a few more years of ageing.

  • 2007 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Riserva 90 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    Garnet brown color. The bouquet is a bit sweet with autumn forest, mushrooms and some graphite. On the palate juicy red and dark berries, good vanilla from the oak, chocolate, autumn impressions again, good acidity and a touch of sweetness. Some drying tannin. The wine will probably improve with more ageing. Would like to try again around 2023. 90+?

  • 2013 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V. 92 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley, Stags Leap District

    Very dark red color. In the bouquet primary cherries, herbs and some medicine. On the palate juicy blackberries and cherries, well dosed oak, mocha, good acidity and round, slightly sticky tannin. Some vanilla in the supple finish. Beautiful and youthful wine alright, but I don't taste the luxury (yet?) For today just 91-92+
