2017 Sandhi Wines Chardonnay Mt. CarmelSta. Rita Hills more |
5/10/2024 - AB16 wrote: 89 pointsClean, crisp under ripe Chardonnay that has a tart characteristic. The malolactic fermentation shows through and the wine gets slightly rounder when it warms up. |

2013 Domaine Lafage Tessellae Old VinesCôtes du Roussillon Red Rhone Blend more |
3/23/2024 - AB16 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine is in a great, drinking window. Dark, Garnet color with no bricking. Spicy dark fruit on the nose with a hint of heat. Medium plus body and fruit complemented by nice spice and long finish. Slightly higher than I like but it is integrated well in this one should continue to drink well for the next 5+ years. |

3/23/2024 - AB16 Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wine is in a perfect, drinking window right now. Medium dark ruby color, no bricking, beautiful nose of dark fruit. Wonderful dark cherry fruit with nice earth and great acid. This wine is drinking very well now and should age at least another five years. Wish I had another bottle |

2019 La Chablisienne Chablis 1er Cru Mont de MilieuChardonnay more |
2/17/2024 - AB16 Likes this wine: 92 pointsI like this wine, and I like the comments below. It is riper than the traditional Shibli, and that may be a little bit of an indication of climate change. I imagine this wine went through full malolactic and maybe saw a touch of Novak. In any case, grapefruit, and a really pleasant wine. |

2013 Altesino Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
1/10/2024 - AB16 wrote: 89 pointsThis bottle had the burnt oak quality that I find occasionally in Altesino wines. Don’t know if they tried to use some new dark toast or medium plus toast barrels but the Wood tannins don’t work in this wine. It’s perfectly palatable, but too big, too alcoholic, and too much wood toast/Tanin. |

12/5/2023 - AB16 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark wine, earth driven underscored by medium ripe black fruit and grippy tannin. The good news is that it all works and this wine paired beautifully with bolognese sauce. Molto Buono and ageworthy |

12/1/2023 - AB16 Likes this wine: 95 pointsRobinson wine dinner at mad cap. An incredible example the potential of aged Chardonnay. Alluring flinty nose that is so indicative of Raveneau. Fruit singing and acid all there. One of the most consistently delicious white wines in the world. |
