love it ..agree with SH6K .. this is the type of white wine that makes you come back for more. the color , the legs ....the aroma.. might even be the type of white one should decant and not drink too cold
. will take allot of restrain not to finish the bottle in one go

2015 Clos du Marquis

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/31/2023 - Staufer Likes this wine: 91 points

lovely wine. we did an experiment based on your notes via blind tasting and had the wine split into two .. one part decanted and the other kept in open bottle ; 3 hours in
folks thought we offered two different wines ..and clearly preferred the decanted version. The "bottled" part was considered too young

2010 Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi) Brunello di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

10/29/2022 - Staufer Likes this wine: 95 points

brunello at its best
when you take a whiff you feel you are in the middle of Tuscan hills almost hitting a wild boar as you drive home from an amazing Dinner.
Fine notes of cherry and vanilla with a hint of rosemary and rasberrries.
very smooth and silky . most enjoyable to drink
we recommend to open and decant for at least 2 1/2 hours
enjoy
