2016 Falesco VitianoUmbria SuperTuscan Blend more |
7/27/2020 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNotes of dark cherry, dark chocolate, with slight bitter unripe basil, some thyme, blackberries, and black currant. Drinking all more without a decant. Still slightly tannic, but quite pleasant and good friendly for meat dishes. Really great QPR on this! 91pts. |

2015 Antinori TignanelloToscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend more |
12/6/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 93 pointsTasted blind. Dark, earthy, meaty, with an enormous amount of tannin, mixed with dark red fruit at the beginning of the palate quickly overwhelmed by everything else. Very young still. Needs a LOT of time before it's ready to enjoyably drink. Still a great effort for a powerful wine. 93-94 |

2015 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valleymore |
12/6/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 92 pointsTasted blind. Very bright and lively with significant bright red fruit aromas and flavors. Bright red cherry, with oak backbone, and significant tannin. Initially thought this was a high-quality zinfandel because it was so bright and big. Delicious effort. |

2012 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/27/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted blind along with three other wines. Tasted in a darkened room, so could not see color, or viscosity. Wine was opened at least one hour prior to tasting, but unsure whether the same was double-decanted. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2006 Château Bonnin Pichon Grande RéserveLussac-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/15/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 88 pointsGood color with no bricking. Nose of leather, tobacco, earth. Dark cherry at the front of the palate mixed with vanilla and forest floor and leather. Still pretty astringent. Shorter finish with a little bitter herb at the end of the palate. Tasty for sure, but not hugely complex anymore. Drink now! Offers great qpr, and gives you an old bordeaux taste without the price. 88-89 |

8/7/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 87 pointsNose of freshly cut hay and motor oil. A bit of bubblegum on the front of the palate, mixed w black licorice, changing to clover, mushroom, and earth. Still good astringency and acid, but balanced. Can still age for another 2-3 years. Maybe as much as 5. Good qpr. Funky for sure. Very interesting. |

8/2/2018 - ckinv368 Likes this wine: 88 pointsFor being so young, this is surprisingly mellow. Definitely jammy and lush, with bright blueberry and strawberry notes throughout the palate. Not a fancy or complex wine, but very drinkable. |
