2014 La Braccesca (Antinori) Vino Nobile di MontepulcianoSangiovese more |
5/19/2024 - tomblock Likes this wine: 88 pointsDark berries, soft tannins and light acidity. It had a slight cork taste which disappeared after two hours - without that it would have been a clear 90. |

5/8/2024 - tomblock wrote: 85 pointsA bit too acidic for my taste, after 10 years in the cellar I had expected a smoother wine. Improved over the evening. Okish Rioja, nothing special about it. |

1994 Pavillon Rouge du Château MargauxRed Bordeaux Blend more |
12/17/2023 - tomblock wrote: 86 pointsStill drinkable, cork was a bit difficult, sediments as expected. First sip was way too acidic, this mellowed out after 3 hrs in decanter. Then - well, ok-ish Bordeaux, definitely not worth the price. |

2020 Pagos del Moncayo Prados FusiónCampo de Borja Grenache Blend, Grenache more |
7/15/2023 - tomblock Likes this wine: 89 pointsA real nice everyday wine, a lot of fruit and a bit of vanilla from the barrel. Just drinks well. Very good quality for the price and on top of that organic and unfiltered. |

2019 Domaine Guerrin et Fils Pouilly-Fuissé Sur la RocheChardonnay more |
6/5/2023 - tomblock Likes this wine: 91 pointsExcellent white wine, reluctant nose but then a complex taste. Dominant mineral components, interesting fruit andd spice notes and a long ending. |

2016 Château de la Commanderie Lalande de PomerolRed Bordeaux Blend more |
5/8/2023 - tomblock wrote: 85 pointsWas expecting a better integrated Bordeaux - and got disappointed. Ok-ish wine, all ingredients of a Bordeaux you expect are somehow there but do not integrate. Got better on the second day - remained disappointing. |

2019 Famille Perrin / Perrin & Fils Vacqueyras Les ChristinsRed Rhone Blend more |
1/29/2023 - tomblock wrote: 87 pointsAs to be expected from Vacqueyras - tannic, cherry and blueberry taste but then a quick ending. Not really integrated, I had expected more for the price. |

2020 Bodegas Juan Gil Jumilla seleccion Bartolomé AbellánRed Blend more |
12/27/2022 - tomblock Likes this wine: 87 pointsToo young now, needs more time to integrate acidity. Got better on the second day - but be patient with this one. |

2019 Le Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône Les QuartzRed Rhone Blend more |
12/23/2022 - tomblock wrote: 92 pointsWow, what an archetypical Cotes du Rhone. This is a real mouthful of wine. It shows a shining cherry red in the glass, smell of blackberry and again sour cherries. Intense taste with already well integrated tannins, massive but soft, and a long finish. Very well made wine, I like it a lot! |

1993 Château Marquis de TermeMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/10/2022 - tomblock wrote: 85 pointsI was a bit afraid to open this one, but is still in a drinkable state. Cork was fine, decanted for 3 hrs before drinking, sediments as expected after almost 30 yrs. Rather shy nose, light red in the glass. A bit too acidic for my taste, but went well with a deer filet. All nicely integrated, I was missing a bit more expression. |

2018 Famille Perrin / Perrin & Fils Vinsobres Les CornudsRed Rhone Blend more |
11/19/2022 - tomblock Likes this wine: 90 pointsA dense red Vinsobres, black cherry and solid mineral components. Very soft tannins. Need more of that! |

2018 Can Ràfols dels Caus SumollPenedès more |
9/24/2022 - tomblock Does not like this wine: 85 pointsSo, another not really successful experiment. It is an interesting wine from an unusual grape. Very translucent in the glass, almost like a darker rose. Nice smell, a bit of papaya mixed with sour cherry. Only 13 % alc. But then too sour with a bitter ending. Summary: a well made interesting wine (so, 85 rating is fair) -just not my gout. |

2017 Colterenzio Schreckbichl Lagrein Riserva MantschAlto Adige - Südtirol more |
8/27/2022 - tomblock Likes this wine: 90 pointsPositive surprise, this is beyond my usual Grenache/Syrah thingy. The Lagrein grape has some very specific taste, in a positive way. Amarena cherry and a bit of smoke, a well made wine made of an indigenous Südtirol grape. |

8/22/2022 - tomblock Likes this wine: 84 pointsFresh and light, on the fruity side. This is an unspectacular candidate for a summer-party, kinda everybodies darling. |

2021 Bodegas Juan Gil Moscatel Jumilla Drymore |
6/21/2022 - tomblock Likes this wine: 89 pointsSmell of elderflower and white fuit. A very refreshing dry moscatel, it has it all, very fruity and a salty ending. Nice one! |
