2010 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
11/5/2023 - StainedGlass Likes this wine: 93 pointsDark violet color with purple and black fruits dominating. Meaty, spicy and rich but not overly sweet or hot as some other vintages of Beaucastel I've tried (e.g. 2007). Includes 30% Mourvedre, 30% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise plus unknown %s of other CdP varietals. Drinking well now but still has room to improve. |

2007 Dominus EstateNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/4/2023 - StainedGlass Likes this wine: 95 pointsDecanted 1.5 hours. Medium dark red and purple black base color with some browning / bricking consistent with age. This wine is in its optimal second stage with tertiary characteristics very evident. Cassis, black cherry, touch of coffee, leather, plum and spice box. Well-integrated tannins and good acidity, and it lighter (in a good way) than typical Napa cabs. 14.1% abv. I would drink to 2027. It could go longer than that but I am not sure there would be a significant incremental improvement. (D's and K's wedding shower) |

I thought this would be too young and fruit forward but it was well balanced, rich and layered. Not too jammy or cloying. No sign of early aging or browning. Drink now - 2032. (D's & K's wedding shower) |

10/23/2023 - StainedGlass Does not like this wine: NRI like this producer, but this was a little too funky for me. Not well in integrated this young stage, or maybe I don’t like Aglianico. 65% Merlot 35% Aglianico. |

2001 Urbina Rioja Reserva EspecialTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
9/27/2023 - StainedGlass Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wi e is superb. It is elegant and absolutely in a prime drinking window for a Rioja. I prefer it over the 2004 gran reserva. Urbina is an outstanding producer with Rioja wines that are light yet full bodied, elegant and that age beautifully. And a good value to boot. |
