2003 Tir Na N'og Grenache Old VinesMcLaren Vale more |
5/19/2016 - kenv Likes this wine: 94 pointsWCC Grenache Blind (Fort Orange Club, Albany, NY): Thick, complex. A full rich complex wine just beginning its plateau of maturity. Great fruit, but more structure and complexity. #2 WOTN for me. |

5/19/2016 - kenv Likes this wine: 92 pointsWCC Grenache Blind (Fort Orange Club, Albany, NY): Complex and spicy, but that thick gunkiness makes it less appealing. Still, in 5-10, could be excellent. |

2002 Pride Mountain Vineyards Petite SirahNapa Valley more |
5/15/2016 - kenv Likes this wine: 96 points[Decanted at 2pm. So much inky sediment that I could not see through the bottle even with a very bright light.] Massive nose of ripe blackberries, licorice, lavender, and chocolate. Incredibly rich and silky in the mouth with a wave of tannin on the finish. I will leave it in the open decanter in hopes that those tannins will soften. The fruit and finish are amazing. I think I'll be ordering the prime rib tonight! |
