4/13/2008 - Darren747 wrote: 87 pointsRich, fruiyt nose with bags of blueberries on the palate. Tannins softening nicely and acidity well balanced. Cloves and cassis on the long finish. Classic cedar and cigar flavours appeared after a couple of hours. This should develop further over the next couple of years. |

2004 Allegrini La Grola Veronese IGTCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
6/1/2016 - Darren747 Likes this wine: 89 pointsDrinking very well indeed. Just a hint of tobacco and leather on the finish but showing just a tad hot. Very good value wine for ageing. |

2/1/2014 - Darren747 Likes this wine: 90 pointsReally hitting its stride now. Maturing like a decent claret with cedar and tobacco flavours around the blackcurrant fruit. Plenty of life left yet. |

2003 Alpha Zeta Amarone della Valpolicella Classico ACorvina Blend, Corvina more |
2/2/2009 - Darren747 wrote: 88 pointsI would rate this a litte higher than the previous taster although he's spot on with cherries and chocolate. It's all held together with a good level of tannic grip and the sugar levels are nicely in balance. A decent finish rounds of a very drinkable Amarone. |

9/19/2012 - Darren747 wrote: 79 pointsCharles Taylor 2011 White Burgundy Tasting (London): Spirity again. Something not quite right here. Natural yeast? Yeast flavour still evident, low sulphur? |

2006 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Ladoix 1er Cru Les Gréchons BlancChardonnay more |
5/26/2012 - Darren747 wrote: 88 pointsOxford Chardonnay Session: Mineral, citrus nose. Ripe rich body with depth and supporting oak tannin. Quite simple fruit, peach. There's a bitterness on the finish that suggests lots of skin contact. |

2007 Domaine de L'Ameillaud CairanneRed Rhone Blend more |
8/31/2012 - Darren747 wrote: 88 pointsBest bottle yet. Lovely deep fruit profile with oak integrating very well. Dark berries, smoke, coffee, vanilla and thyme. Tannins softened nicely, complimenting the fruit. Time to start drinking this wine! |

2007 Domaine de L'Ameillaud CairanneRed Rhone Blend more |
1/28/2011 - Darren747 wrote: 84 pointsMuch better bottle with a youthful nose of blackcurrants, medicinal herbs and earthiness. The palate is relatively simple, black fruits and a floral aspect with some bitter oak on the finish. Holds the 14.5% alcohol well. |

9/20/2012 - Darren747 wrote: 92 pointsDecanter Italy Tasting (London): Very good wine, refined but powerful. Huge, teeth coating tannins but very silky. Blockbuster dark fruit with blackberries, blackcurrant layered with tobacco and lashings of oak. Still needs another decade. |
