12/14/2018 - Verticalcollector wrote: 92 pointsDecanted for an hour or so. Drinking nicely. It surprised me. Thought it wasn't gonna be any good but it has all the qualities I like from a young wine. Full bodied, nice after taste. Not in your face fruity which I prefer. Very nice oak. Should have bought more :( |

2003 Penfolds GrangeSouth Australia Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |
2/20/2015 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 96 pointsThis stuff was great. Instantly got me in a gitty mood. Decanted for about an hour and a half and drank it over an hour or so. Full body and silky. In the past year I´ve had 2001, 98, and this vintage. The 2001 is the best so far, but this 2003 was not far behind. The 98 didn´t impress me. If you think this could be a fruit bomb, you'd be wrong. Don't like those. Payed US$320 for it. Still smilling. Memorable. |

2001 Valdicava Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
7/14/2014 - Verticalcollector wrote: 92 pointsDecanted for an hour than drank slowly for 2 more hours. Youthful in appearance though it had a little sediment. Overall a good wine. Smell, taste, aftertaste all good, but not great. I've had the 2003 Valdicava not so long ago which I thought was much better. It was great actually. I think because it felt much older than this one. |

2008 Peter Michael Les PavotsKnights Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/5/2013 - Verticalcollector wrote: 92 pointsMedium decanter for 3 and half hours. Fisrt PLes Pavots. This wine was very hard to rate. Its a meritage but it seemed like a pinot to me. Way too sweet. I'm not sure if its beacuase its new world, new style, etc. I was expecting something diffrent from a blend like this. Disapointing, not to mention the price. |

2003 Château Duhart-MilonPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/22/2013 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 92 pointsTwo and a half hours in a medium decanter. At first, medium bodied, but not so much taste nor smell. Gained weight after an hour of drinking. It became full bodied which is always pleasent. |

2001 Giacomo Conterno Barolo Cascina FranciaNebbiolo more |
3/22/2013 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 95 pointsOne hour in a medium sized decanter. Drank over 3 hours. Nose was strong, pungent tar, leather, licorice. Medium bodied with long after taste. It never went cold just kept going. This wine is probably the best example of great Barolo I have ever tasted. Higly recomended. Never knew how great the Giacomo Conterno brand was. |

1998 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Superiore OrnellaiaRed Bordeaux Blend more |
9/14/2012 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 95 pointsPerfect drinking now. Decanted for 2 hours. Tannins and a little alcohol were present, more of a Bordeaux style than a super Tuscan. Still has fruit and long after taste. Medium bodied. It’s definitely a zipping wine. Don’t need food to enhance this one. Simply superb. |

1995 Antinori SolaiaToscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend more |
9/7/2012 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark and silky. Smooth from beginning to end. Poured in a decanter and had it straight away. About an hour later it was gone. Did not improve with time. It was more Italian style then other super Tuscans. In its prime drinking window, with fruit and soft tannins. Medium bodied and medium finish. I expected more flavor. Great wine though. |

2004 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/5/2012 - Verticalcollector Likes this wine: 94 pointsFirst Pichon Baron ever. Decanted for 3 hours and had over an hour. Spice box! Bouquet was very nice followed with a mix of spices predominately pepper flavor. Medium body. Tannic with a long finish. It’s still on the young side but I believe its in prime drinking. Wish I had another bottle. |
