3/20/2024 - Jeff Leve wrote: 100 pointsThis is a clear candidate for 101 Pts, as well as wine of the vintage! Mind-blowing in every sense of the word, from start to finish, this wine is breath-taking! Multi-layered, and multi-faceted, the wine coats your palate, mouth, teeth, and gums with non-stop layers of opulent fruits that are elegant, regal, sophisticated, and seamless. You also find vibrancy as well as astonishing purity. The 60-second mark is left in the dust in the seamless, seemingly, endless finish. If you have the money and want one of the great wine-tasting experiences of your life, this is for you! Drink from 2024-2060. |

2002 EMH Cabernet Sauvignon Black CatNapa Valley more |
8/4/2023 - ledocq Likes this wine: 93 pointsRecent purchase - great aroma upon opening, and served without decanting. Wow, this is great - first Black Cat I haven't had to give some air. Tannins are a little tight at first but over time everything resolves into a very smooth, nicely complicated ride. Very happy that this wine does so well at 21 years of age. |

2013 Il Marroneto Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
2/28/2024 - sfwinelover1 Likes this wine: NRSecond of 2 (1/23 TN), and unlike so many other wines I’ve revisited in the past 6 months with a year+ in between bottles, this has barely budged, for better and worse, so that I don’t have much of anything to add to that TN. This benefits from 30-45 minutes of air to sort itself out, then held well over 3 nights, even with some shifting notes. The structure is still strong, so this should have several years of drinking around this level left. Very solid at my price point ($45), but a lot less inspiring that at the 2x+ WS is showing, which puts it at or above Fuligni, Ucciliera, and Ciacci Pianrosso and not far behind Casanova di Neri TN, all of which I’d prefer. Fwiw, of the 3 vintages in the vertical, I’d rank them ‘12, ‘13 and ‘11. 92-93ish if scoring.

2018 Château CanonSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/7/2024 - csimm wrote: 94 pointsThere is a polish here that immediately adds to the textural profile of this Canon. Somewhat plush, but not so much that it makes for too fruity or flabby of a delivery, the 2018 is similar stylistically to other St. Emilion siblings in this vintage. Approachable and fun, albeit still primary and direct, the core berry fruit sways into the modern field but makes sure to keep a solid foot in some older school attributes. I could have done with a hair more intensity and tannic structure, but its cut and acidic spine are enough to counter the ripe and contoured fruit. 4-5 years on its side will do it well.

2018 Mark Herold Wines Cabernet Sauvignon UproarCoombsville more |
11/29/2023 - Mark1npt Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted one hour then back into the bottle to take to HMCs for dinner. So a 1 hour double decant. Aired out over another 3 hours before and during dinner.....dark purple in the glass, nose of dark berries, a little forest floor but not much else. Palate has good weight, dark red/black berry fruit, a hint of graphite. 93 for sure. Later in the night approaching 4 hours of air this one gets more juicy and develops a nice milk chocolate on the palate. Excellent acidity backing it all up. This is a very nice entry level Mark Herold wine from a very good vintage and certainly can go for many more years.....borders on a 94 for me by the end of its milk chocolatey night!..... |

2007 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña BosconiaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
10/28/2023 - ohne_musik wrote: 94 pointsMy first go with the 2007, and it’s a beaut. Short decant, but the nose is demonstrative from the get go, with beautiful wild strawberry, cherry and some smoothly integrated oak notes- much better integrated than on the rosado we had last week. Palate is, to use an overused but apt comparison, quite Burgundian in texture, with a silky lightness and elegance. Flavors burst forth of sugared cranberries, orange peel, tobacco, bay leaf, pizza crust, and some stony earth. Savory deliciousness married to juicy acidity. Again, the American oak is very harmonious, even though I’ve gotten less tolerant as of late. Such great inner mouth perfume. Finishes nice and clean, with good length, and no detectable VA. Really a joy to drink. |

2015 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Ardanza ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
5/6/2023 - Takao wrote: 97 pointsDeep garnet color. Fully developed, med plus aromas of allspice, black olive, meat, mushroom, dried flower, hoisin sauce, dark cherry, star anise, red cherry, prune, raisin, chocolate. Dry, med(+) body, high tannins, high acid, high alcohol, long finish. Really beautiful but the fruits seem pretty ripe for Rioja. More of tertiary notes on the nose and fruits and oak are more prominent on the palate. I think this wine is at its peak but will keep being great in the coming few years.

First sips thin with light red fruit. Palate of semi tart red cherry predominantly the first hour. Nice balance with good acid and integrating tannins. Maybe a 90?

2020 Château CanonSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/14/2023 - Keith Levenberg wrote: 91 pointsOpens with a slow-rolling wave of fruit - just when you think it's all there, it keeps flowing and reaches a new high watermark. It's juicier and fresher than the 2019 was, and for that reason doesn't evoke quite the same nostalgia or classicism, but it's not a fruit bomb either as we are still talking about something crisp rather than sweet and round. That said, given the pointgasms emanating from all quarters and, quite frankly, the price, I was hoping for some more distinction and personality here. On the first day there's not much to it beside the fruit, some wood that gives it a drying tongue-depressor effect, and tannins that are slightly edgy but enough in the background not to be much of a factor. The next day it's a little bit more interesting aromatically with some bay leaf and tobacco scents and the fruit complexion has turned a few shades darker from red tones to black, with the edginess remaining. That's fine - call it well-structured for aging - but it's not giving much of a preview of what you'll get at the other end.

This wine is special and like the previous tastings, it is an entirely new level at PLL Comtesse. This wine has everything and more- it is something special and would rival most wines. Simply Gorgeous now & later.

7/26/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 93 points1/4. 7.5% abv. AP 05. NOSE: beseeching mint limoncello frosting yields to savory earth and raspberry tendril. Broad, pure, and grammatically intricate. MOUTH: among its various contrasts and apparent contradictions, the one that is least avoidable is the wave of luxuriant, sweet texture coincident with fragile, silk paper bones teeming with umami (salted apricot pit, anchovy cheeks.) Weightless cambre back bows demonstrate a complete void of adhesion. Heaping chipped stone grips and curdles fumes of fennel, mint, lemon-lime, black muscat, and pea lily. If I aim to drink the last of four after 2035, then the next one will have to wait until after 2026. 93+
