2019 David Duband Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
5/11/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 91 pointsGood depth of red and blue fruits with toasted spices, earth and sweet licorice. Palate is rich and extended. Much more elegant and balanced for such a young Gevrey-Chambertin. Almost medium-bodied in the open structure. Finish is clean with supple fruits. An hour of decanting is essential for the fine aromatics to surface. |

5/11/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 90 pointsElegant red fruits, hints of subtle spices and gravel on the nose. Fresh and bright personality. Palate is dry and slightly grippy for now. Still young, need time for the tannins to fully integrate into the almost medium-bodied structure. Finish is clean and persistent. Ready to drink now with an hour of decanting. |

2019 Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Black Labelmore |
5/8/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 89 pointsQuite a shy nose right from the bottle. This needs a good decanting of at least 2 hours to release the aromatics. More vegetal notes and less fruit forward than previous vintage. Very high level of acidity but it is balanced by the juicy fruits and smooth tannins. Medium-bodied with an opaque structure not letting |

2016 Patrick Shiraz Two BlocksWrattonbully more |
5/7/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 91 pointsFragrant and deep aroma of ripe black plums, black peppers, intense clove and hints of toasted oak on the nose. Palate is less forward and more elegant than what the nose suggested. Felt more like a cool climate Shiraz from Victoria on the palate. Medium-bodied with some tannins to support proper aging. Good level of acidity running through from entry to an extended mid-palate and velvety spicy finish. This lacked some density and depth compared to the winery Joanna Shiraz on the palate. Almost at its finest peak now and will continue to drink nicely for the next 3-5 years. |

2020 Lake Chalice Pinot Noir The NestMarlborough more |
5/2/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 88 pointsForward barnyard nose with fresh red fruits of redcurrant and strawberries, savoury sage and hints of earthy spices. Very Burgundian. Palate is elegant and linear. Not much depth and light-bodied structure. There are good level of acidity, juicy fruit and smooth tannins in the mid-palate, transiting to a clean but somewhat watery finish. Drink now with roast chicken or salmon Wellington. |

2017 Bodegas Obalo Rioja Las Arenas ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
4/25/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 91 pointsProfound bouquet, toasted almond, deep blue and black fruits, earthy spices and no hints of oak overtones even though this is aged in oak. Bold and intense palate, full-bodied and firm structure. Some minerality. This needs time as most elements are hidden behind the opaque mid-palate for now. Transition from entry to finish is quite seamless and extended. Long and lingering finish. Potential to show more complexity and layers in 5-8 years time. 91-93 pts. |

4/25/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 90 pointsDeep and spiced black cherries with earthy and minty vanilla notes on the nose. Structured and extended palate which is almost full-bodied. Good intensity and depth for a Crianza, reaching the quality of a Reserva. Texture is rather smooth at the edges. Finish is complete but grippy.

4/15/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 87 pointsAn intriguing aromatics of plush and ripe cherries and plums with overtones of white pepper and eucalyptus on the nose and palate. Need some time in the glass for the flavours to settle down. Nice acidity in the medium-bodied structure to keep the texture tight and focused. Clean and not much depth after entry. Finish has some bite and somewhat watery. Promising nose, average palate but finish is a let down. Drink now. |

2016 Campo Viejo Rioja Gran ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
4/6/2024 - Psdycp wrote: 89 pointsGentle red cherries, vanilla oak, dark chocolate and toasted spices on the nose. Very classic Rioja. Delicious and balanced. Palate is rich and polished. Not much depth and power for a Gran Reserva in the mid-palate. The quality is more like a Reserva. Finish is firm with some savoury notes and ripe blue fruits. Ready to drink now. A few years of aging helps to smoothen the tannins. |
