2006 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La TurqueSyrah more |
4/24/2019 - KenK wrote: 92 pointsGood and proper, yet somewhat closed. Dark earthy black fruited with good depth, yet not really open or giving. This was popped and poured, maybe a good decant would have helped. Full judgement reserved. |

2009 Romano Dal Forno Amarone della Valpolicella Vigneto di Monte LodolettaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
4/25/2019 - KenK Likes this wine: 93 pointsAs expected this was a big ripe extracted delicious wine with great intensity and balance. Not for wimps. Still young and somewhat raw, but gives tremendous pleasure even now. |

4/24/2019 - KenK wrote: 91 pointsHave the feeling this was not the best example. Dark lean red fruits all wound up and good, buy largely unyielding. Tasty perhaps, but not the puppy dog friendliness i typically find in Rayas. |

2009 Soldera (Az. Agr. Case Basse) Sangiovese Toscana IGTmore |
4/24/2019 - KenK Likes this wine: 93 pointsDecanted for 5 hours. Surprisingly giving and drinking nicely. Earthy ripe dark black flavors with nice spices and underlying sweetness. Well balanced with medium intensity to the structure. While not quite epic, a very good wine. |

4/24/2019 - KenK Likes this wine: 94 pointsSweet red raspberry and strawberry fruits in a soft rich yet intense style. Quite feminine and pure. A delicious wine and likely in its prime drinking window. A great example of Rayas. |

NV Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único Reserva Especial 1994, 1999, 2000 (2013 Release)Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
4/24/2019 - KenK Likes this wine: 95 pointsIn a lovely place now, if not perhaps even a touch youthful. This was popped and poured. A showy wine rich with ripe deep spicy dark fruits and a nicely structured frame of acid and tannin. Finishes long and powerful. A standout on a night of riches including Soldera, Dal Forno, La Turque, Rayas, Pingus, and Paul Hobbs. |

4/7/2019 - KenK wrote: 94 pointsCommander’s Palace. Massive spice box aromas of clove, nutmeg, & cinnamon. A bit of raw young red fruit on the palate which picks up nice depth with each sip. Long spice finish. Still a baby, yet screams breed & class. Long finish & very giving with a dry edgy finish. Needs time, yet very pleasurable even now. Could be 96 in time. |

2004 Levy & McClellan RedNapa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
4/2/2019 - KenK wrote: 92 pointsDouble decanted for sediment and served a few of hours later. Good dark rich flavors of cocoa, blackberry, and toasted oak. Fairly ripe with a solid spice of tannin and acid being perhaps a touch grippy for the fruit. Very solid and a good drinker overall, yet not quite delicious or amazing. Decent spice. Feels like a very well made wine with a just ok fruit source. No rush to drink up, but not sure what will happen as fruit fades and tannins mellow. |
