11/7/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 92 pointsWow I’m blown away. So much life and verve for a 13 year old Niagara white. Sweet pineapple, peach, cantaloupe, honey. Just gorgeous. Can definitely age for another 3-5 years. |

2013 Tenuta Guado al Tasso (Antinori) Bolgheri SuperioreRed Bordeaux Blend more |
10/28/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 92 pointsFirst sip after decanting for about 2.5 hours was disappointing. A little overly ripe and tannic, not a whole lot of complexity. Improved over the course of the evening. About 5 hours after opening the wine really started to sing. More floral, open, balanced in presentation. Probably best in 5-7 years. |

2012 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/20/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 87 pointsBeautiful wine, everything that should be there is there - red and black berry fruit, earth, touch of barnyard funk. Just lacks a bit of punch and concentration. Finish is a tad short. |

2019 Martin's Lane Vineyard Pinot Noir Simes VineyardOkanagan Valley more |
10/10/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 89 pointsA little too young to drink now. Very tight, not quite integrated. On the nose, intense and vibrant florals and red fruit. Nice flinty and chalky character. But there is also a bit of stemmy, unripe feel to the nose. No stemmy character on the palate. Long finish. |

2010 Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
6/30/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 94 pointsOn the nose surprisingly fresh and vibrant, gorgeous florals and baking spices. More black than red fruit, excellent integration. Subtle tertiary aromas of truffle, leather, and cigar box. A powerhouse but refined and elegant. I only wished the finish was a bit longer. These beautiful flavours disappeared quite quickly on the tongue. |

4/1/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 91 pointsDrinking beautifully. Classic syrah. Pepper, olives, game, and smoke. Great complexity, concentration, and length. The high acidity makes this wine still so very fresh. Can definitely keep for another 10 years no problem. |

2010 Les Pagodes de CosSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/31/2023 - WineyTom! wrote: 85 pointsI’m sorry to say, but i am disappointed. This is a supposed to be an exceptional wine from an exceptional producer of an exceptional vintage. But is simply wasn’t. The wine tasted tired, like a 20+ year old Bordeaux. Fruit has given way to leather, earth and funk (bard yard stink). Length is mediocre. Might be on the decline already. Disappointed. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2009 Stratus RedNiagara-on-the-Lake VQA Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/28/2023 - WineyTom! Likes this wine: 86 pointsThis wine has aged gracefully. Fresh fruit has given way to more savoury aromas, spice, and leather. Well crafted. This bottle was enjoyed alongside the 2019 in a group tasting. The 09 did not necessarily stand out as being any “better” with age - just different. |

2021 Black Swift Vineyards Pinot BlancOkanagan Valley more |
1/14/2023 - WineyTom! Likes this wine: 89 pointsIntriguing wine, lovely cheesy, buttery note on the nose. Ripe tropical fruit, I get bananas. Also stone fruits. Weighty on the palate with a pleasant waxiness coating your entire mouth. |
