4/5/2024 - DrT999 wrote: 87 pointsColor still dark with no bricking, raspberry over a hint of violet on the nose. The red raspberry carries over upfront, but that there not a lot in the middle, the red fruit returning just a bit to finish; pleasant overall. |

3/29/2024 - DrT999 wrote: 90 pointsBlack raspberry with hints of violet on the nose. Excellent color with no bricking. Smooth tannins and balanced acidity up front, with the black raspberry and hints of other dark fruits (blackberry and a touch of cherry), with the raspberry and acidity carrying into a nice finish. |

2005 Château Moulin de LavaudLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/20/2018 - DrT999 wrote: 88 pointsWhile only having modest length, the black cherry upfront and blackberry finish were well-defined and delicious. This bottle still had a fair amount of tannic backbone, especially in what there was of a finish. |

11/18/2017 - DrT999 wrote: 88 pointsStill lots of lovely blackberry and current upfront, with moderate tannins to support the fruit in the middle. Moderate length, with no real changes. All-in-all, this has held up moderately well. |

2009 Adolph Müller Niersteiner Gutes Domtal KabinettRheinhessen White Blend more |
8/5/2017 - DrT999 wrote: 84 points9% Soft and light, more pear than crisp apple (but not a lot of fruit or length); just a touch of acidity. Okay for an informal brunch or picnic. Not much here, but what is there is pleasant enough. |

2000 Château Les Carmes Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/22/2017 - DrT999 wrote: 90 pointsLight blackberry on the nose, and not a hint of bricking. A (remarkably) fresh tasting wine, the tannins are moderate, the acidity well-balanced with dark fruit, especially upfront. The length is also rather on the moderate side, but if the fruit holds up this should staying drinking well for several more years at the least. Very pleasant |

2009 Kaella Winery Sangiovese Ciel du Cheval VineyardRed Mountain more |
12/5/2016 - DrT999 wrote: 88 pointsNice red cherry throughout, moderate length. Good but not overwhelming acidity, which I sometimes get from traditional Sangiovese and soft tannins. This is drinking quite well at the moment, and should for some time yet. |

NV Taylor (Fladgate) Porto 10 Year Old TawnyPort Blend more |
1/3/2016 - DrT999 wrote: 87 pointsThe color of this bottle surprised me, as it wasn't all that 'tawny compared to others'. Very nice raspberry nose, but not overly strong. There wasn't much heat, and the juicy table grapes/raspberry upfront was well-mixed with dried dark fruit and consistent from the start through the moderate length |

3/29/2014 - DrT999 wrote: 84 pointsA lovely if modest wine -- well-balanced, not a lot of length, indistinguished dark fruit, still lots of sweet tannins. This is the sort of wine to serve when you want the food to shine -- it should please most wine drinkers, even if they don't remember much about it afterwards. |
