2020 Azienda Agricola LaLu Dolcetto d'Albamore |
3/11/2024 - Roughl Likes this wine: NR@Boury, Believe it was this vintage. One glass double blind. Guessed “Morgon on speed”. Thought I was off, but with hindsight, not a bad description as it goes a bit in that direction. Definitively nice winemaking, tightly knit, rich, nothing sticking out. Fruit galore. Was a joy to drink this with the lamb. Not overly complex, but so much joy in this glass. |

3/11/2024 - Roughl wrote: 93 points@Boury. First time I had the opportunity to drink a wine from this producer and I understand the praise/hype. Richly balanced, long and complex, with a lingering minerality that makes this a food wine par excellence. Went well with most dishes, but especially with the Asian inspired langoustine. Heaven… |

2019 Dominio Pingus Ribera del Duero Flor de PingusTempranillo more |
2/4/2024 - Roughl wrote: 94 pointsWhat a wine! Perfectly balanced, no hard edges. A wealth of ripe fruit. Long but not “grand Vin” long 8-9 second finish. What it lacks in length it makes up in completeness. This is extremely sexy and feminine. A lot of substance underneath. Perfect now but can last for years. Why wait? Wooaw. If it were a woman? Brigitte Bardot in her early days. |

2020 Tenuta San Guido Guidalberto Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
2/3/2024 - Roughl wrote: 91 pointsAlways good value at around 40 eur. Rich fruity plums and cherry 🍒 kirsch from the ripe vintage. Smells like Tuscany . Enjoy now. I would not sit on this vintage (other years age gracefully, but I don’t see the point for this vintage). Great upon opening after two hours and the next day. A quarter serious and three quarter fun fruit. |

2015 Domaine des Bosquets GigondasRed Rhone Blend more |
12/29/2023 - Roughl Likes this wine: 92 pointsCompares favourably to janasse 2010 and charvin 2014 drank during the week. You feel you are in a different area with more altitude. Really nice and in the same league quality and interest wise for half the price. |

2014 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
12/29/2023 - Roughl Likes this wine: 92 pointsHad this a day after the janasse 2010. This feels Burgundian in comparison. Nicely made and a quality wine worth its 35 eur price tag back in the days |

2010 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
12/29/2023 - Roughl Likes this wine: 92 pointsLovely richer style c9dp , pulls it off being big without being a fruit salad or tannic beast. Better on day two actually and no oxidation on day 3. Much better than I had expected and needs time in a decanter or two hours in your glass. Prime drinking window for my taste. From magnum and bought at the domaine at release. |

2013 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Remilly BlancChardonnay more |
12/15/2023 - Roughl wrote: 93 pointsBought on release and finally I understand the fuss about py s wines. Chardonnay through a Riesling lens . Fantastically rich and layered, yet so fresh and linear. A stellar Chardonnay for the price paid on release. Can easily last a couple of years but don’t see any upside |

2015 Josef Walter Hundsrück Spätburgunder "J"Franken more |
12/15/2023 - Roughl wrote: 93 pointsPerfect with the cheeses. Hundsruck is a top terroir and 2015 a top vintage and that is clear from the moment you unscrew the cork. What a bargain . Drink now, I see no reason to wait |

12/15/2023 - Roughl wrote: 94 pointsWhat a wine . Simply spectacular after a splash decant. This was on the young side out of a cold cellar. What a fantastic balanced concentration, long and fresh even if this was a hot vintage . Easily 94 pts and a true bargain by any standard. |

2014 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Volnay 1er Cru SantenotsPinot Noir more |
11/13/2023 - Roughl wrote: 92 pointsSolid and as I remember tasting it at the domaine. Nicely balanced mid weight Volnay. Somehow one can sense that Moreau is a great white wine maker when drinking his reds. I mean that as a compliment. Can age further, but no need to. Winner at the table. |

2012 La Petite EglisePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/13/2023 - Roughl wrote: 91 pointsSolid pomerol . In a perfect place, needs 2-3 hours in a decanter to blossom. Not the best wine in the best vintage, but a lot of value when bought en primeur. Should hold for the next couple of years but I don’t see any upside |

2015 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de ThalabertSyrah more |
10/9/2023 - Roughl wrote: 88 pointsA good crozes from a great year. In the glass it proves that Crozes is not Hermitage. A bit pruney and clipped. Lacks perfume and finesse. We had two bottles on the table this one and a bottle of Walter Hundsruck spatburgunder 2015 (aromatic and fine)…. Why not? Adding a dollup of the spatburgunder to this syrah, resulted in a much better wine. It became fragrant, the pruneyness resided, the wine found balance. The power made sense now. My wife said I was out of my mind to mix both wines. But the wine in the glass did not lie. 88 pts without the spat, 92 with… |

9/29/2023 - Roughl Does not like this wine: 88 pointsFor my taste: Overripe fruit stew. Yes it is luxuriously polished and intense. Has length and all. But it is too sweet has no grip and does not speak of a place to me. Napa is not for me . |
