A pleasant but lighter style Brunello. With some air, it is a good time to drink it.

Almost deep golden. Medium intense nose with flinty minerality and peaches, on the palate with lime, nectarines, maybe hints of pineapple, umami. Sweetness fully integrated, feels almost dry with refreshing acidity. 5/12/17/10. -2040

5/10/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 94 points

Deep purple color. Blackberries, black raspberries, and black currants in the nose with floral, earthiness and hints of chocolate and coffee. Blackberries, black raspberries and black cherries in the flavor along with some spice. Full bodied, nice depth, well balanced and a long finish. This wine will benefit from five to ten more years in the cellar.

2022 Hoffmann-Simon Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Riesling Kabinett

Mosel Saar Ruwer more

5/11/2024 - fhayek Likes this wine: 91 points

The platoian ideal of a Mosel Kabinett — absolutely beautiful.
There is sweetness but it is a mere instrument in a wide orchestra: crystal clear riesling fruit, beautiful acidity, just a touch of both minerality and petrolton; terrific balance and complexity and consistency. This wine is both classy and endlessly fun.
Hence: impossible to stop.
Highly recommended and chapeau to the winemaker.

2017 La Magia Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

5/11/2024 - Jay Win Likes this wine: NR

Purchased in Ravello and being enjoyed on a picture perfect day. A classic example of Brunello, this wine is young with plenty of tannins today but 3 hours of aeration was a good idea as the fruit emerges. Lots of good drinking ahead. Grade of a very strong B+ today.

5/11/2024 - Strabo Likes this wine: 90 points

In der Nase schwach, kaum wahrnehmbar. Öffnet sich aber mit Luft. Am Gaumen eine schöne Frucht mit reifen Pflaumen und schwarzen Beeren. Ausgewogene Säure. Ein guter mittellanger Abgang. Sollte sich in 2-3 Jahren noch entwickeln.

2009 Albatreti Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

5/11/2024 - tastark Likes this wine: NR

8 years since the last bottle and now it's clear we should have bought way more. This was singing tonight. Super classic style. Really wonderful with bright red fruits and medium acidity. Tannins were silky smooth and fully resolved. Starting to show its age, just a touch. Probably 3-5 more years at this peak, then it will start a slow decline. Drink up.

2020 Château Figeac

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/11/2024 - Keith Levenberg wrote: NR

Potent, heady aromas of hot asphalt. I can understand some of the hype for this wine because it has an imposing presence, thick and muscular, in the weight class of a Monfortino. But it's also quite tight and bound up right now, more about future potential than anything you might get by way of a preview now.

2018 Antica Terra Pinot Noir Botanica

Willamette Valley more

5/10/2024 - AGELVIS Likes this wine: 96 points

Three hour decant. Plum, raspberry, lime rind, white pepper, limestone, poppyseed, and subtle toffee and orange rind. Super smooth, dry palate. Firm, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.

This is drinking almost at its peak for my palate. This is a very impressive Pinot.

2010 Robert Keenan Winery Side by Side

Spring Mountain District Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/11/2024 - AboveAvgBro wrote: 94 points

This is a potential 20+ year wine (perhaps even 30). At 14 years old, it drinks without any signs of slowing down!

Beautiful dark ruby color, nose of mature herbs, dark fruits and tobacco, taste matching the nose but only amplifying it. Drank like a great Pomerol with spring mountain fruit!

Overall, this may be Keenan’s finest wine they make. Somehow i prefer the 2012 more… but that’s a matter of preference not quality.

If you love ageless spring mountain wine (Philip Togni, SMV’s Elivette, etc.) you will LOVE this wine.

2021 Venge Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Annapurna Vineyard

Stags Leap District more

5/11/2024 - NWFL_Revisit Likes this wine: 95 points

Didn't just like this wine, I loved it. After a 30-min decant, enjoyed with some surf and turf. Moderate tannins providing a softer mouthfeel, medium acid, and a complex full body of both blue and red fruits. Agree with previous review that a bit more age will reward this wine. Probably one of the best SLD wine I've had.

1981 Staatsweingut Tokajihegyalja Szamorodni Száraz

Furmint more

5/11/2024 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 90 points

A recent acquisition at auction. From an old German cellar. Believed 1981. No legible vintage on the label or the short cork. The neck label mentions "S 88 334625" however, and Szamorodni Száraz was usually bottled seven years after the vintage at the time. Medium golden colour; fresh and minerally nose, clean and clear but not very expressive, light aromas of candied fruit, bruised apples and white nuts; the palate is dry and steely, with slightly tired bitters; savoury finish, dry and grippy, good persistence. Old but perfectly healthy - especially impressive for a wine destined for the German (super)market(s) that was intended to be drunk more than thirty years ago.

2020 De Toren Fusion V

Stellenbosch Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/11/2024 - Stemvers Likes this wine: 93 points

The 2020 De Toren Fusion V, the latest addition to my collection from my favourite house, presents itself with a deep purple-red color that mesmerizes as it swirls gracefully in the glass. Upon nosing, it reveals a captivating blend of red and black fruits, intertwined with a generous hint of vanilla that adds a touch of warmth and complexity. With a medium to full body, it exudes power yet maintains a subtle sweetness that tantalizes the palate. Tannins make their presence known, yet they do so without overwhelming, offering instead a solid framework for the wine's evolving structure. Despite its youthfulness, it displays a remarkable smoothness, making it effortlessly drinkable. The finish is a testament to its quality, lingering gracefully, leaving a lasting impression. This wine has the potential to age gracefully for years to come, yet it already delights in its current state. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a hearty T-Bone steak, it promises an exceptional tasting experience.

Drawing from the richness of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, as well as the subtle influence of oak with hints of vanilla, the 2020 De Toren Fusion V offers a complex and satisfying palate.
