2016 Castello di Ama Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San LorenzoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
1/29/2023 - HG123 Likes this wine: 95 pointsBeautiful Sangiovese - everything you want - dark Cherry, dry herbs, balsamic. Drank beautifully now but has the structure to last |

2017 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod BourgognePinot Noir more |
9/30/2022 - HG123 wrote: 89 pointsThink I will leave this a few more years for the next bottle. Tightly wound and only just giving away the beginnings of some subtle red cherry. Nothing unpleasant or unbalance though just think too young |

2003 Marc Sorrel Hermitage Blanc Les RocoulesWhite Rhone Blend more |
8/29/2022 - HG123 Does not like this wine: 80 pointsFound this quite flat footed - lacking much in the way of fruit or complexity. If anything towards tropical fruit but tasted almost dusty. |

2017 Jean-Marc Vincent BourgognePinot Noir more |
6/24/2022 - HG123 wrote: 88 pointsDrunk a few of these now as everyday wine. Enjoyable light ripe red fruit - hasn’t developed any territory notes and lacks a bit of depth but as far as a regional label goes good value for money |

2016 Hanzell ChardonnaySonoma Valley more |
6/15/2022 - HG123 wrote: 88 pointsSlight oak, stoney fruit and touch of pineapple on the nose. Taste similar with end of orange peel. Just felt a bit lacking in length and depth |

2018 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valleymore |
6/11/2022 - HG123 Likes this wine: 89 pointsGreat value for money. Still young and benefits from a decant. Opens into primary red fruit with oak still not fully integrated (not in a bad way though). Enjoy now or in years |

2013 Sandhi Wines Pinot Noir La CôteSta. Rita Hills more |
6/11/2022 - HG123 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecant for a few hours - this is big and takes time to unfurl. Layered dark fruit with a touch of mushroom |

2010 Château HortevieSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/13/2022 - HG123 wrote: 89 pointsWould rate this higher than other reviews seem to indicate. Approachable bordeaux that will give plenty of pleasure at a reasonable price |

2005 Château GloriaSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/13/2022 - HG123 wrote: 91 pointsStill tightly wound but with enermous potential as it evolved with air - decant for a few hours or leave in the cellar for another few |

2012 Christophe Vaudoisey VolnayPinot Noir more |
3/12/2022 - HG123 wrote: 86 pointsBetter than last time - maybe bottle variability or pairing. Light red fruits but with too much depth - well integrated |

1998 Château Haut-MarbuzetSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/11/2022 - HG123 Likes this wine: 92 pointsFabulous: plum, blackberry, leather, chocolate and tobacco. Long integrated and effortless. Great value for money. Better than the 1996 IMO which is a turn up for the vintage on the left bank |
| White |
2018 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-IgéChardonnay more |
2/10/2022 - HG123 Likes this wine: 89 pointsNose is almost entirely of smoked nuts that follows through on the palate. Quite lean on the fruit side - hints of lemon and grapefruit. In my view quite a different expression of Chardonnay but enjoyable nonetheless |

2017 Jane Eyre Beaune 1er Cru Cent-VignesPinot Noir more |
1/28/2022 - HG123 Likes this wine: 91 pointsA fan of this wine. Full of dark fruit but somehow weightless and almost chalky. Will enjoy seeing how this evolves. Great value |
