2012 Barlow Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonCalistoga more |
4/6/2024 - Enricaccio wrote: 90 pointsOverall it's not bad; somewhat typical Cali Cab, tannins are fully integrated and it's ready to drink. Nose is black cherry and flowers. A little flat on the palate with not a lot of layers / interest. I would have liked to see something a bit more complex, but this is a smooth wine, very drinkable. It's easily a crowd pleaser at a dinner party for non wine experts. |

1/25/2024 - Enricaccio wrote: 94 pointsObviously still a bit on the young side, but otherwise excellent; after just an hour in the decanter, it’s easy to forget how young it is. At times, it felt a bit over extracted. |

2015 Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux Le Haut-LieuChenin Blanc more |
1/9/2024 - Enricaccio Likes this wine: 92 pointsSome signs of infiltration in the cork; the nose is closed at first with some mold tones, but the wines appears to be fine. Deep gold color with some darker accents; off-dry, it's almost moving towards the semi-sweet, but it still has some nice acidity. Nice wine, very enjoyable. |

1/3/2024 - Enricaccio Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill a bit young and rustic, but this wine is coming into its own; probably another 1-2 years in the cellar before it can shine. Right now it's still too tightly wound. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2016 Castello di Volpaia Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
12/18/2023 - Enricaccio Likes this wine: 92 pointsOne of the best Chianti Classico you can find for the money; ruby red in color, the nose is plums and dark cherry; medium body, the tannins are almost entirely integrated; very balanced and elegant with a nice finish. I mu opinion, one of the best value in its category. |

2019 Livio Felluga Terre AlteRosazzo DOCG White Blend more |
12/13/2023 - Enricaccio wrote: 91 pointsNose is all white peach, pretty typical of Sauvignon blanc / white bordeaux; whine is off-dry, palate is melon, fruit and rose petals; body is medium+, acidity is medium-; it's well balanced, but I would have liked to see more acidity. It would probably benefit from few more years in the cellar to develop some secondary notes and lose some of the youthful sweetness in the finish. It's significantly better with food. It's not my preferred profile, but it's a good wine, if not a bit overpriced. |

2014 Pio Cesare BaroloNebbiolo more |
12/4/2023 - Enricaccio Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted for 4h; a little tannic and astringent at first, but after a few hours of air it opened up into a beautiful bouquet, with plenty of fruit but also starting to show some secondary notes of leather and tabacco. Much better than expected! |

11/27/2023 - Enricaccio Likes this wine: 89 pointsSimple wine but pretty pleasant; ruby color, light nose, medium - body, low acidity, minimal tannins; this is more similar to a pinot noir with some minerality. It's pleasant, although pretty simple. |

11/12/2023 - Enricaccio wrote: 89 pointsPretty typical Russian River Pinot profile, but also not that great. The finish has a slight bitter aftertaste and the wine is not that’s exciting. Shame. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2021 Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-VerzéChardonnay more |
11/6/2023 - Enricaccio Does not like this wine: 89 pointsAh, what to say? I tried everything with this wine; I let sit, I decanted it, and nothing made it better. The acidity level is not countered by the oak (steel tank instead) and the wine feels out of balance. It's overpowering the fruit, making it just not pleasant to drink. I don't know how it's going to age but I am struggling to see it getting any better. |

10/28/2023 - Enricaccio wrote: 94 pointsMore Burgundy than California; the tannins are fully integrated, the oak is subdued and it has developed some secondary and tertiary / savory tones. I don’t think it has the structure to age well, but it’s good now |
