2014 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Großes GewächsNahe more |
5/25/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 92 pointsGreen apples, grapes, cucumber, stone, honey. Relatively cool impressions, with refreshing acid. This still shows some young features. Good now after a little air, but will probably continue to develop favorably for many years to come. |

5/19/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsLemon, lime, popsicle-like fruit, stone, a hint of coca cola spices. A minimal tendency of sweetness on the finish. Very good, but was hoping for more to be honest. |

5/18/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 95 pointsRipe lemon, pineapple, passion fruit, cloudberry. Stone and smoke, almost cigar-like. Intense but not too heavy. Complex mix of fruity and smokey elements. |

5/11/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 94 pointsDense and pure fruity notes, with ripe pineapple, banana liqueur, some stone. Very concentrated and long. This is not an elegant wine, but nevertheless so good with its rich almost tropical profile. |

2016 The MascotNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/4/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsVery deep convincing Cabernet nose, with things like black currant, green pepper, earth, and coffee. Although very concentrated and full of flavors, palate is not as good due to high levels of alcohol, which is actually quite disturbing. Partly mitigated by serving cool, and many hours of air. I remember this as more balanced 2.5 years ago. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2017 François Raveneau ChablisChardonnay more |
5/1/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 94 pointsA lot of what some people call ”minerality”. Almost like liquid stone. Green apples, nuts. Delayed onset of acidity. Some development. Not what I would pick to match seafood, but very good on its own. |

2013 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas RenaissanceSyrah more |
4/27/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 95 pointsAbundant cool dark fruit, salmiac candy, stone. Any hard edges that may have been there once are now polished off. Very clean for a Clape. Super good! |

2014 Domaine Auguste Clape Cornas RenaissanceSyrah more |
4/20/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsShort decant. Dark fruit, licorice, leather, barnyard. Starts off relatively funky, cleaner with air. Good length! I am sure this will survive many more years of cellaring, but not sure it would improve. |

2014 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo BrunateNebbiolo more |
4/13/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsCherries, touch of mango, tea, earth. Fruit is extremely pretty on the nose but does not follow through on the palate, where it feels a little disjointed. For me, slightly behind the Tre Tine this year. Uncertain how it will, or will not, evolve from here on. |

2014 Giuseppe Rinaldi Barolo Tre TineNebbiolo more |
4/13/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 94 pointsDark cherries, stone, a very clear iron/blood component. Harmonious on the palate. For me, slightly ahead of the Brunate this year. Good now, but no rush. |

2010 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'AmpuisSyrah more |
4/7/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 97 pointsWow, this is exceptionally good. The fruit is just so pure and fresh. There is almost a little tart note of grapefruit or lemon which makes it really interesting. Smoked meat and a well-balanced dose of oak, adding some toast and vanilla. Still tannins left, but at the same time so silky. Finish is looong. |

2010 Elio Altare Barolo ArborinaNebbiolo more |
4/6/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsRed fruit, blood orange, hard candy, new oak. Tannic, some sweetness from the oak. Good, if you don’t mind the modern style. Recommend giving it a couple of hours of air. Now and for many years ahead. |

2015 Caprili Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
4/6/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 92 pointsA little reductive and in need of some air. Cherries, black currant, some banana cake, chocolate, whiff of hartshorn. Youthful, but good to go after a short decant! |

2010 Delas Frères Côte-Rôtie La LandonneSyrah more |
4/6/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 90 pointsShy dark fruit, salty licorice, coffee, a touch of smoke. Concentrated, very “dark” impression. Would have liked more fruit and less oak. Hard to tell where this is going. Below expectations. |

3/30/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsRed fruit, hard candy, mint, vanilla. Sweet sensation at the end, presumably from the new oak. Still very tannic. Very good if you like a modern-style Barolo. |

2014 Domaine Vincent Paris Cornas La GeynaleSyrah more |
3/30/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsCool blue fruit, violets, smoked meats, licorice pastille, barnyard, herbs. Good amount of soft and rich fruit. Tannins are toned down, but still some left. I wouldn’t hold onto this much longer because I want some structure and resistance. Very good! |

3/29/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 90 pointsLingonberry, watermelon, tea, earth. Some development, but fruit is a bit thin. Still a nice tannic grip on the end. Not sure this is for me. |

2013 Podere Sante Marie (Colleoni) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
3/23/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 95 pointsWhat an amazing wine! Dusty earthy notes, leather, very clean fruit including cherry, orange, and peach. After two hours of air it opens up and feels balanced and integrated, and a slight trace of alcohol disappears. If I you prefer some tannins left, I would drink now, but with this much fruit there is still room for more development if that is what you prefer. |

3/16/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsVery rich, fruity, with ripe lemon, pineapple, elderberry. Lots of stone! Even the empty glass smells strongly of stone. A tiny bit of petrol, but not disturbing at all. Drinking well. |

3/9/2024 - KimHartman wrote: 93 pointsTextbook Cabernet profile. Still very youthful, fruity. Lacks some structure, a little weak in the middle. May improve but I would drink now on the lovely fruit. |
