2018 Eyeris Cabernet Sauvignon OculusNapa Valley more |
2/16/2024 - Doc Blinet wrote: 88 pointsTypical potent fruit bomb from Napa full of alcohol and jam flavors. It was decent enough to drink with a meal but nothing memorable. One might find it enjoyable if one is of a disciple of Robert Parker. |

11/27/2023 - Doc Blinet Likes this wine: 91 pointsExuberant black fruit and hints of dark chocolate. Delicious now with forward fruits but probably will mature with more elegance in a few more years. Will wait another 5 years to taste the remaining 2 bottles. |

2014 Tenuta San Leonardo San LeonardoVigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/9/2023 - Doc Blinet Does not like this wine: 80 pointsAnother disappointment from these flash sale sites. I guess there is a reason why some wines end up being auctioned off like cattle destined for slaughterhouses. Barely good enough for cooking. |

2018 Tenuta Prima Pietra Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
8/4/2023 - Doc Blinet wrote: 88 pointsBottle opened with a strong smell of black fruit and cherry with hints of bitter tannins. It gradually softened into a smooth and somewhat bland flavor profile. Got a few more bottles and they probably will be gifted to wine neophytes in the near future. |
