France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Tasted blind. Weird as it didn't show at all like the one I had 3 weeks ago. This one was flabby, creamy texture with some orange blossom notes along with some honey and mango notes. It was almost sweet in the mouth...which never happened before. Bottle variation is my guess...
Dark cherry core, purple rim. The nose was superb: floral, spices, dark cherry, hint of tomato vine. Full body, smooth tannins and mild acidity, it is a little heavy on the palate with too ripe fruits. Maybe age will tame that down but right now it is a little too much for me.
Italy, Tuscany, Montepulciano, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Dark cherry core, almost opque. Ripe strawberry, very light earthy notes, plummy, spices and some heat. Definitely a modern Italian (guessed Morellino). Not my taste at all. 14%.
Still super dark. Shows some oak on the nose with coffe and oaky notes. Nice leather and bell pepper components. Pichon Lalande style. Balanced but could still use a little more years.
This wine was an enigma. Very fruity nose, it is a little thin on the palate but at the same time ripe. I went for a CdR or something similar. I was shocked to learn it was Baudry since I'm a big fan and don't recognise his style here. Will re-evaluate with anoter bottle.

A touch of caramel and spices pn the nose with exotic fruits, med body, rather low acidity. Lacks finesse and shows a touch of heat.

Exotic fruits on the nose (kiwi), peach and grapey.
Dry, muscat like flavors. Not bad actually and balanced Torrontes.
