2009 René Michel Mâcon-VillagesChardonnay more |
10/27/2010 - NickG wrote: NRNot what I expected from a Macon-Villages. Rich and heavy on the tropical fruit. Some minerality on the finish, but also soap and quinine. Not for me. |

NV Frank Cornelissen Contadino 4Sicilia Nerello Blend, Nerello Mascalese more |
10/23/2010 - NickG wrote: NRWonderfully aromatic, with complex mix of various spices and fruits, and a hint of pine. My enthusiasm waned after that though. Bitter orange peel flavor dominates, with more pleasant fruit and spice in the background. Great length, but that's only a good thing if you like holiday fruitcake. |

2009 Thierry Delaunay Sauvignon Blanc Tourainemore |
10/23/2010 - NickG wrote: NRSeriously good sauvignon for the price. Lemon curd and minerals on the nose and palate. A bit of creaminess and maybe a a bit of residual sugar balances the acidity very nicely. |

2004 Poggio Bertaio Sangiovese Umbria Stucchiomore |
2/5/2010 - NickG wrote: NRCalifornia style. If lush sweet fruit, oak, and 14.5% alcohol is your style, this is well-made and fairly priced. Good length. |

2006 Riberach Côtes Catalanes SynthèseRed Blend more |
1/21/2010 - NickG wrote: NRDefinitelly stinky, but, unlike everyone else, otherwise I thought this was an interesting and fairly good wine. A bit rough, scrubby, and rocky like the place it comes from, but nice length, with marked transitions in the mouth from berry fruit to minerals and tart cranberry to a strongly tannic finish. |

1/10/2010 - NickG wrote: NRI used half this bottle to cook some mussels before drinking any and after tasting it, I sure wished I had used something else for the mussels. Powerfully fruity nose. Rich and complex in the mouth, with mouthwater acidity joining the rich fruit on the long finale. Totally lives up to its billing. Outstanding value. |
