2010 Mission Estate Winery SyrahHawke's Bay more |
7/10/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 89 pointsGreat aromatics, dark fruit, lots of black and white pepper, lil baking spice...if this wine had more structure/backbone giving it a better finish, could have been great. |

2009 Domaine des Tours VaucluseRed Rhone Blend more |
7/3/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 92 pointsGreat fragrant nose, rich fruit up front, nice pepper flare, smooth and marvelously balanced. Fruit burned off after a little time, which made it even better. |

2007 Domaine Des Hauts Chassis Crozes-Hermitage Les GaletsSyrah more |
6/12/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 92 pointsI give it a 92 for the first 90 minutes and a 89 after that (seems bass ackwards). Awesome, big nose of funky earth and a mouthful of black fruit, pepper and dirt. Lost the earth and went all fruit after lots of oxygen which wasn't as rewarding for me but still a great wine. Ready! |

2011 Samuel Robert Winery Pinot NoirWillamette Valley more |
5/5/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 85 pointsSlow learner. 2+ hours before it showed its self. Lacking aromatics, missing complexity in the mouth, pepper and tart fruit on the finish. Started to feel like a willamette Pinot 2 hours in. Still a nice wine at 15 bones but hoping its potential is greater. |

3/10/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 98 pointsA tucking stud. Incredible nose. Dirt, pencil eraser, rubber, spice and cherry - soft in the mouth but perfectly balanced firmer tannins on the finish. Terroir for days. |

1/8/2013 - Soundcaresser wrote: 91 pointsPushing the limits of waking the oak monster, cassis...would have loved to taste this wine blind, preconceived notions abound. Kinda felt like the napa/Bordeaux mutt that it is. Certainly can't complain, just not entirely convinced at this price point. |
