2021 Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Les RoncièresChardonnay more |
11/22/2023 - hnatta16 wrote: NRMedium golden color. After the reduction blew away and the wine warms up, a lot of citrus elements jump out of the glass along with white pepper, chalk and ocean spray. Very expressive nose and wonderfully fresh. Very light in body, not much fruit here, medium long finish. |

11/5/2023 - hnatta16 wrote: NRNo rating for today, the wine is very reduced on both the nose and the palate. Left it in the glass for about an hour and the bouquet of lemon confit, white flowers and saline notes come out. Medium bodied long acidic finish. Decant in advance or hold for a few years. |

10/31/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 92 pointsImmediately expressive out of bottle, I love the subtle contrast of the nose, lemon, poached pear along with the strong Chenin character of wet wool and lanolin. Well judged oak, providing the floral/spice components. |

2021 Nigl Riesling 1ÖTW Privat HochäckerKremstal more |
8/14/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 91 pointsBursting with aromas of grapefruit, kaffir lime and peach. A very expressive wine that has kept its cool and balanced character. Medium plus bodied with beautiful acidity, you get the slateyness in the lengthy finish. The perfect accompaniment to Thai food. Very nice to drink now, will keep for a very long time. |

2016 Isole e Olena Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata Toscana IGTmore |
7/20/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep mulberry and ruby. Initially there were perfumed dark fruits and oak on the nose but the wine changed with time in the decanter. It smells of black currant, plum, coffee, oak spice, cedar, licorice and slightly herbaceous. The flavors are incredibly deep, penetrating and last very long in the mouth but manages to stay light on its feet with well judged acid. Tannins are super fine and well integrated. While this is very good today, it will only get better. |

2021 Patrick Piuze Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons Les MinotsChardonnay more |
7/16/2023 - hnatta16 wrote: 90 pointsMedium gold color. Ripe citrus fruits dominates the nose along with some golden apple and honeysuckle. Riper than Patrick’s other 1er crus. Good length, the stony characteristic of a good Vaillon is present here. |

2017 Istine Chianti Classico Riserva LevigneChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese more |
7/10/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 92 pointsMedium deep garnet. Nose beautifully divided between the primary fruit aromas and secondary. It smells of dried flowers, perfumed ripe dark cherry, sage, sweet tobacco and a slight earthiness. Medium to medium plus body, fruit is very well contained and not over exuberant. You can tell that this is from a riper vintage due to the profile of fruit but there is enough acidity and a grippy fine grained tannin structure keeping things in check. Give this some air and enjoy with food as the tannic structure still stands out a bit today, otherwise, there is very good potential for this elegant and well proportioned Sangiovese. Excellent QPR at 50USD. |

7/4/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 88 pointsMedium pale crimson red color. Nose reminds me of a Gevrey Village wine, wild strawberry, raspberry, ripe black currant and game animal. Very fruit forward nose in a pure fruit style. |

6/28/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 92 pointsPale straw color with just a little bit of green. Initially the nose was quite ascetic, but with some air, reveals a cool and beautiful aroma of slate, honeydew melon, white flowers, spicy vanilla and a slight but very attractive herbaceous smell. |

5/27/2023 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 91 pointsMedium Golden color, the slightly reductive nose shows golden apples, pear, white flowers, peach with secondary characteristics of honey, beeswax, petrichor, sea spray and slight oak rounding out the edges. |

2018 Louis Latour Corton-CharlemagneCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
5/17/2023 - hnatta16 wrote: 92 pointsPale gold. The nose is really quite ripe with a big volume of fruit to absorb the ample oak treatment. It smells of cooked pears, vanilla, white flowers, hazelnut, more honeyed notes appear with decanting. Full bodied, moderate structure with some extract that goes away with decanting as well to deliver a lush, mouth coating taste with good textures. You feel the alcohol at the back of your palate (14.5%). Delicious, however, I thought the acidity was slightly too low to balance out the richness of the wine. |

2015 Baricci Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
12/5/2022 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for 1 hour. Pale to medium ruby with slight bricking at the rim. Perfumed ripe red cherries and plum on the nose, camphor, violets, mentholated herbs and leather, it finishes with a sweet spice character. Texture is so elegant and attractive, medium plus body. The tannins on this wine is very fine grained and well integrated. The minerality in this wine comes through on the very long finish. Slightly alcoholic as you can feel the warmth in your throat. The riper style wine is showing very well today after one hour in the decanter but has the potential to develop further. Give it a couple more years. |

2017 Fratelli Brovia BaroloNebbiolo more |
11/21/2022 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 91 pointsMedium red with some purple, roses and dried cherries dominate the nose, menthol, forest floor and a slight gaminess. Riper than it usually is but the wine has kept its floral and lifted character. On the palate it is medium to full bodied with a lot of fruit, grainy and well integrated tannins with good acidity to back up the volume of fruit here. More opulent and forward than the previous vintages, no reason to wait to open a bottle. |

2020 Domaine Bernard Defaix Chablis 1er Cru Côte de LéchetChardonnay more |
11/21/2022 - hnatta16 wrote: 90 pointsPale yellow gold. Ripe white peach and flowers on the nose with some smokiness. Good richness of fruit on the palate which is quickly braced by an excellent line of acidity and saline structure. Good length, Same thing happened to me as mentioned by the previous reviewer, after one night in the fridge the acid and structure waned significantly leaving only the fruit and the saline quality. Finish the bottle the day you open it! |

2019 Jean-Marc Millot BourgognePinot Noir more |
9/22/2022 - hnatta16 Likes this wine: 88 pointsPale bright red color, can easily see through the wine. Cherry, dry strawberries offset by slight smoky earthiness. Minerality is already evident from the nose. Light bodied, lovely mouthfeel, round and plush and never heavy on the palate. Low tannins, medium acid and sufficient concentration. Lovely business card wine to introduce you to Jean Marc Millot’s style. |
