2012 Domaine de Cébène Faugères Les Bancels

Red Rhone Blend more

3/26/2021 - itsallaboutwine Likes this wine: NR

100% agree with "One of those wines that deliver without making a lot of fuzz about it".
Mineral, liquorice, poise and fruit, relatively silky, great value.
Superbe domaine that always deliver, often on top of the appellation.

2015 Cantine Giacomo Ascheri Barolo

Nebbiolo more

Bargain at under 25€. Drinking well for my taste, no need to keep. Expected flavours and backbone of a Barolo. Delicious and not overly heavy.

2012 Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

Blind. Far from being obviously Bordeaux, Full bodied and very concentrated. Not very classic or classy in my book but what an amazing concentration. Remind me of Top St Estephe on that showing. would like to give it another 5 year...

2010 Germano Ettore Barolo

Nebbiolo more

3/23/2021 - itsallaboutwine Likes this wine: 92 points

Seems modern in my book (but the oak is well judge), with fatness, dark cherry elements and no dry roses at that stage. Tannins as expected. Lots of stuffing for an entry level Barolo. Maybe a bit one-dimentional but delivering above expectation.

2017 San Fereolo Dogliani Superiore

Dolcetto more

12/18/2020 - itsallaboutwine wrote: 86 points

My very first bottle from this producer. Slight V/A on the nose, same on the palate and it becomes even more present on day 2. To make it short true to the grape but not a very charming or refined example.
A disappointment regarding the superb reputation of the producer.

Friulano 25%, Chardonnay 25%, Pinot Grigio 25% et Sauvignon 25%.
Lovely nose (specially on day 2), complex and refined, Nice freshness, light to medium bodied, 13% attack is pretty round, mid palate and finish lighter.
As often i guess I was expecting more of it, but nice bright wine.

2015 Woodenhead Zinfandel Leras Ranches Bertoli

Russian River Valley more

12/7/2020 - itsallaboutwine wrote: 88 points

Fairly light color for Zin, V/A on the nose, then Xmas pudding and red fruits, on the medium bodied palate part of the fruit is a bit cooked, with high alcohol, but surprisingly with high acidity too, almost no tannins. A strange fresh style but not better than a fuller more OTT exemple in my book. Maybe better on released or bad storage? Drink up.

2014 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes

Pinot Noir more

11/28/2020 - itsallaboutwine Likes this wine: 92 points

Deep color for the vintage and the appellation. Nose needs time to become interesting and changing. medium bodied but pretty full for a Chambolle, great texture, the fruit is on the darker side, the wine seems to shut down a bit, even on day 2. My guess is this mini Bonnes Mares probably needs more time in bottle.

2017 Domaine Patrick Rols Aveyron Les Anciens

Cabernet Franc more

11/28/2020 - itsallaboutwine wrote: 88 points

Tasted blind: Young wine, most probably organic or low sulfates without being too faulty, seems syrah based (it's actually a Bordeaux Blend!), with a rustic and fresh edge to it. Nothing special but balanced and seems to over-deliver for the region. An interesting discovery.

2018 Matteo Correggia Anthos

Vino da Tavola Brachetto more

11/30/2020 - itsallaboutwine wrote: 88 points

A curiosity that need to be tasted for fun. A lot of people seems to dislike it and i can understand why but give it a chance, specially blind in dark glasses in a white wine line up!

Luminous light ruby color. Extreme heady bouquet of rose almost like Gewurztraminer. Very thin body with low acidity. A bit too flat and simple but at least different and fun.

Probably to be tried as an introduction before the much better sweet version.

11/25/2020 - itsallaboutwine Does not like this wine: 87 points

First experience with this estate. Okish but on that showing disappointingly far too "normal" and most definitely far below similar wine from other growers/estates sold at similar prices. In my book it lacks stuffing and sexiness.

Good, well made, super fresh and very easy to drink beware! Not the most aromatic example of the variety, as often I was expecting a bit more as it is supposed to be a benchmark.

2017 Cantine Nicosia Nerello Mascalese Sicilia Fondo Filara

11/30/2020 - itsallaboutwine Likes this wine: 90 points

I don't understand the previous rating: This is an amazing value for money, at the normal retail price (around 9€) it simply kills any Pinot Noir worth sometimes twice that price.

Organic, clean, true to the grape variety, made in a very fresh/light fashion with a zesty acidity, it shows purity and a beautiful fruit (red, savoury, reminiscence of pinot noir) on the nose as well as on the pallet. Not for the blockbuster lovers but well made, stylish and refined. If only every wine under 10€ could taste as good...

2010 Louis Jadot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Folatières

Chardonnay more

11/28/2020 - itsallaboutwine Likes this wine: 93 points

From 37,5cl Bottle. Fear of Premox but the wine was fine, clean.
Great aromatics (definitely an herbal tea character on the nose!), buttery (even more on day 2), full bodied, complex, dense and long. At the level expected from one of the finest 1er cru vineyards from the famous village.
Great showing frankly!

Barrel sample. First vintage, from vines planted in 1935. Delicious palate, balanced, velvety but deep and serious with small ripe tannins. Lovely and ready to be bottled I think. Real step up in quality. (++++)

Reminds me of the 2010 in a more classic vintage/fashion with maybe less extraction and power. Some blackberry, "ronce", Excellent. 17€. ++++
