Red	2011 Château Tour Coutelin St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View Ben Christiansen's profile Report Issue 10/17/2013 - Ben Christiansen wrote: NR This one was pitched to me as "it kinda sucks". And oddly, I guess I don't think it sucks all that much. Green nose, tight on the mid palate, chewy end; overall pretty classic. I guess one could hope for more at $25.

After a glass I put the cork back in and popped a different bottle altogether.
Red	2005 Isole e Olena Cepparello Toscana IGT Sangiovese more	Options Post a Comment View Khamen's profile Report Issue 4/9/2010 - Khamen wrote: 88 points Have to confess I'm struggling a little with this after a pop and pour. Decent Brunello/Chianti standard but falls short of the exalted rep of the label. Rather austere at the moment. A good wine by most standards but not a great Cep.
