2009 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

2/19/2022 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 93 points

Rich and elegant presenting with a dark ruby colour, fantastic notes and rich taste, dark fruit forward, hints of chocolate and subtle tannins. Consistent flavour throughout, coupled with veal that allowed a long and rich finish. Certainly one to repeat again.

2012 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Red Rhone Blend more

2/16/2022 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 88 points

The wine opened and was decanted for 1 hr at a wonderful temperature and perfect meal pairing. The colour was deep crimson with medium legs thus anticipating a fabulous flavour and complex finish. Heavy overpowering chocolate, deep fruits that did not create a wonderful blend when consumed. A light finish was a disappointment although it would make a medium style table wine for many. At the price point cost it was not a favourite. Also, a heavy sediment in the bottle unexpected.

2018 Silver Ghost Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

1/29/2022 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 95 points

A fantastic surprise and enjoyed with lamb and octopus which enhanced a wonderful flavour of luxurious deep berries, inky and jammy fruits, mocha and dark spice. Depth throughout the entire evening with soaring floral and dense Cabernet lush red and vibrant to the nose. Drank on the young side but the long, flavourful finish continued through decanting making this wine something to admire. Looking forward to tasting again with some further age but a definite must to buy and drink again.

Corvina Blend, Corvina more

1/7/2022 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 92 points

A well balanced wine with rich flavour of chocolate, dark raisin and deep fruit, mild acidic tastes and held a medium finish that would be enjoyable with several different foods. Medium legs with a lovely garnet colour and a rich berry aroma that was enticing. Worth trying another bottle to compare.

2009 Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau

Red Rhone Blend more

11/27/2021 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 95 points

A smooth and textured flavour of deep cherries, chocolate, earthy hints and a small amount of tannin. Rich colour, although more sediment than expected at the end of the bottle, a lovely Chateauneuf that is always expected. Fantastic with veal and a night to share with friends that enjoy a medium finish without too many bold flavours. Recommended for those seeking balance and smooth taste throughout.

A fabulous blend of deep rich berries, balanced tannins, long finish and lovely hints of chocolate and a perfect earthy balance. Dried fruit aroma as it opened creating a lasting flavour and wonderful experience. A small amount of sediment but overall lovely rich garnet colour and round finish allowing a smooth and lasting taste. Great to experience again and compare.

Somewhat not what was expected but overall a nice dining wine to share with friends and family. Average legs and finish, lighter tannins and body, no extreme remarks on accent to meal but overall an average drinking wine that was nice to reveal. Some sediments remained in the bottle and that maybe just the wrong bottle at the wrong time. Would like to try this one again.

Rich full bodied wine with large hints of chocolate and dark, rich berries. Long legs and full finish made this wine a must drink for many wine enthusiasts. Balanced and ready to consume. Lovely with steak or dark meats, rich pasta or would also be wonderful with older cheese and charcuterie boards. Worth tasting.

2009 Kuleto Estate Cabernet Sauvignon El Coyote

Napa Valley more

6/18/2021 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 96 points

Kuleto will never disappoint a true wine lover with a perfect balance of fruit meets chocolate and balance meets a taste that continues forever. Deep fruit, an aroma that is outstanding, garnet coloured with legs that last forever. There is no waste or sediment in the bottle and it decanted to continue to impress over time. Deep fruits, an overlay of decadent richness that is almost unexplainable as it is seldom experienced. A hint of black pepper and fig to add the perfect sweetness. Always expected to be above and beyond. Highly recommend and would go back to stock the cellar.

the blueberries to stand front and center, in a dry and serious way, of course. The tannins still make this a bit tight, This is at once sexy and nuanced, complex and fruity. The most impressive part is how graceful it is all the while. This is beautifully crafted, leaning just a little to the intellectual side, at least today. It looks like a great Reserva, still on the upswing with a long life ahead, probably more than indicated. Drink date: 2020-2040. Score - 94. (Mark Squires, robertparker.com,

12/5/2020 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 93 points

The wine was a lovely, rich garnet. A light sediment in the bottle but overall a pure Chateauneuf du Pape and expected as such. The aroma was deep and earthy and the taste was filled with hints of chocolate and blackberry. A lovely wine to enjoy with beef without overpowering the dining experience. Legs were medium and although we prefer a longer finish it was a perfect match with our meal. Would definitely enjoy another bottle in the future.

2009 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

11/3/2019 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 94 points

This wine decanted for one hour and opened into a wonderful balance of rich oak, deep characteristics of dark fruits, chocolate, hints of smoke and tannins. Long finish was supported with subtle earth tones that lasted on the tongue perfectly. Fantastic with veal and light salad allowed the richness of the wine to accent a balsamic glaze. Recommended for several pallets that are seeking a balanced flavour throughout.

2010 Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz Lieu dit Malakoff

Pyrenees more

1/19/2019 - Eurocave Likes this wine: 91 points

Aromas of black cherry, chocolate, pepper and espresso that left one thinking it would be a big, bold flavour in taste and finish. Decanted for an hour, this wine opened somewhat lighter than anticipated and the flavours picked up more traditional hints of ash, espresso and deep, dark fruits. Medium bodied with a slightly dusty tannin on the finish. May improve with more time but otherwise lovely with steak or a dark meat selection.

A smooth, consistent flavour of light fruit, chocolate, light tannins and a hint of pepper. Light to medium finish that would satisfy a new introduction to red wine or simply one that prefers a lighter wine taste. Improved with veal and richer dining choices.

Loss of balanced fruits and tannins with a heavy taste of smoke and pepper. Maybe beneficial to consume far earlier and avoid as much aging.
