2009 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/8/2024 - Donjcorleone Likes this wine: 95 pointsExpressive aromas of crème de cassis, forest floor, tobacco and #2 lead pencil lead to a rich, round, balanced dose of palate staining sweet blackberry flavors with a lingering eucalyptus edge. |

2005 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/19/2023 - Donjcorleone Does not like this wine: NRSo I’ve been staring at this unopened, original wood case of 2005 Leoville Barton for the better part of the last 15 years and against my better judgement, I pulled a bottle tonight. After a two hour double decant, there were faint dark fruited and tobacco aromas hiding behind a wall of impenetrable toasty oak and the palate was just more of the same story. Bury this one for another decade (or two); rating reserved.

1/8/2022 - Donjcorleone Likes this wine: 93 pointsSoaring aromas of black cherry, leather and pepper that lead to a silky, fresh blackberry, tobacco leaf and mineral driven palate that is both long and savory.

7/22/2022 - Tubulus wrote: NRHoly acid Batman. The funny thing about this wine is that it tastes, not too surprisingly, exactly like you'd expect an aligote made by PYCM to taste like. It has a fairly rich texture, there is a slight touch of the pycm oak signature (though all used barrels for this one) as well as some reduction. And then it's a BLAST of lemon and acid. Really delicious but at this point in its life it begs for food (pasta with clams worked perfectly).

2009 Château Branaire-DucruSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/12/2020 - Donjcorleone Likes this wine: 94 pointsWas sorely in need of a good 2 hour decant and then this became wonderfully fragrant with candied black raspberry, cedar and earthy tobacco scents that led to a soft, layered, earthy red fruited licorice expression that was in perfect balance and kept getting better and more expansive with the more air it got. 94+

NV Paul Bara Champagne Grand Cru Brut RéserveChampagne Blend more |
10/28/2018 - La Cave d'Argent Likes this wine: 92 pointsSampled from a bottle coded L131234 (disgorged June 2017), this non-vintage sparkler showed impressively well. Straw-colored and with a very brisk tiny bead, it delivers an intensely aromatic package of peaches, citrus, cardamom, bread dough and coriander. Medium-bodied, crisply acidic and layered in the middle, it goes on to close with a vibrant, lengthy finish. This outstanding Champagne should be at its best over the next three years. Drink now-2021.

8/23/2016 - pozzo5 Does not like this wine: 83 pointsI have enjoyed other vintages of this wine but the 2010 was a huge disappointment. No fruit on the first day and no improvement on the second. My wife disliked it also.

2011 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
11/15/2014 - Donjcorleone Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpened and drank over a 4 hour period. This starts off with a nose of dark fruit, damp earth, leather and rose which lead way to a mouthful of tart cherry and chocolate on the flavor profile along with an herbal and black pepper laced finish. A very enjoyable wine that is beginning to drink wonderfully.

2009 Bodegas y Viñedos San Roman Toro Viña San RománTinta de Toro, Tempranillo more |
1/1/2014 - Donjcorleone Likes this wine: 94 pointsBottle #1 from a case purchase from the Wine Library @ $29.99 per. An intoxicating nose of black cherry, dark chocolate, tar and vanilla lead to much of the same on the full bodied dark fruit concentrated palate which glide on through to the silky smooth finish. An excellent Toro for sure.
