Red	2013 Ken Wright Pinot Noir Savoya Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton more	Options Post a Comment View Ed B's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - Ed B Likes this wine: 90 points From last night, by memory. PnP and drank over 2.5 hours. Semi-opaque dark burgundy color, with hints of brick. A little funky at first, but smoothed out to be a very pleasant, if very complex, wine.

Red	2015 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Clos du Roy Pinot Noir more	Options Post a Comment View Outplaying's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - Outplaying Likes this wine: NR This also seemed youthful. I like the 15 Audoin wines much more than the 14's. They seem much better balanced than 14 with more fruit. This was nice with a mushroom strudel. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2004 Feudi di San Gregorio Irpinia Serpico Aglianico more	Options Post a Comment View Harley1199's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - Harley1199 Likes this wine: NR Twenty Years On Wines, Some Luxury at Home; 4/19/2024-5/9/2024 (Alicante y Madrid - España): Bottle opened three hours before lunch through The Durand when the cork broke in its last stretch (pictured). Due to the high level of sediments finally it was necessary to decant it. Bright ruby colour with orange edges. Smoky vegetable notes of artichoke, liquorice root and lauraceous plants that are mixed with other aromas of old barrel. The fruit is reduced to a puff of bitter cherries. On the palate it has a glyceric texture, a selective acidity, good balance and a well integrated alcohol of just 13.0 ABV. Soft mineral finish with tannins already tamed. In short, despite meeting the expectations of both excellent vintage in Campania and the definitely masculine character, full-bodied and high acidity of the Anglianico grape, presents tannins softened by time. Once again the Hard easy. As simple as that. More than an Al Pacino film (1973). Botella abierta tres horas antes del almuerzo mediante The Durand al partirse el corcho en su último tramo (en la imagen). Por el alto nivel de sedimentos fue necesario decantarla al final. Brillante color rubí con bordes anaranjados. Ahumadas notas vegetales de alcachofa, raíz de regaliz y de plantas lauráceas y que se entremezclan con otros aromas de barrica vieja. La fruta queda reducida a un soplo de cerezas amargas. Al paladar presenta una textura glicérica, una selectiva acidez, buen equilibrio y un alcohol bien integrado de sóloun 13.0%. Suave final mineral con taninos ya domados. En resumen, pese a cumplir las expectativas tanto de excelente añada en Campania como el carácter definitivamente masculino, de mucho cuerpo y alta acidez de la uva anglianico, presenta unos taninos suavizados por el tiempo. De nuevo lo duro pero fácilmente entendible. Tan simple como eso. Por cierto Serpico es algo más que una película de Al Pacino (1973). Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	1974 Château Calon-Ségur St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more	Options Post a Comment View winecoffee's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - winecoffee wrote: 92 points You have to like really old wine to enjoy this wine. Very mellow. Last fruit holding onto it. Gave a bad rotten egg smell when first opened but dissipated with decanting. Enjoyed it. Just subtle weak plum and red berry notes on the palate.

Red	2010 Le Ragnaie Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese more	Options Post a Comment View Outplaying's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - Outplaying Likes this wine: NR This is drinking great, but it also still seems youthful. I like this red fruited style of Brunello, with a solid dose of acidity, and fine tannin. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Red	2018 Grand Domaine Grand Vin de Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon more	Options Post a Comment View ChrisSteenberg's profile Report Issue 4/1/2024 - ChrisSteenberg wrote: NR Full bodied and Elegant Serve at : 16-18 DegºC A classic example of exquisite Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon fruit. The bouquet is filled with alluring notes of black currant and perfumed violets. A dense palate which is packed with svelte tannins that are beautifully balanced by the cassis and blackberry fruit notes which linger seductively on the back palate. A seamless integration of oak spice and oak tannin entwined with the Cabernet's masculinity adds real depth and complexity to the wine. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Rosé	2022 Glenelly Estate Syrah Le Rose de May Stellenbosch more	Options Post a Comment View ChrisSteenberg's profile Report Issue 4/1/2024 - ChrisSteenberg wrote: NR Fresh, crisp and vibrant Serve at : 7-9 DegºC Aromas of fresh wild strawberries, cranberries, and sweet spices fill the glass and instantly recall the nostalgia of summer days.

Medium to full body. Nice balance and complexity. Evolving nicely. Enjoyable now but definitely improving with more age so the secondary notes emerge further. Do you find this review helpful?

Rosé - Sparkling	NV Kanu Angelina Rosé Brut South Africa Pinot Noir more	Options Post a Comment View ChrisSteenberg's profile Report Issue 4/1/2024 - ChrisSteenberg wrote: NR Elegant and delicate Serve at : 7-9 DegºC A pronounced fruit structure of pomegranate and cranberries invites further exploration.

White	2022 Domaine de Thalie Mâcon-Bray Les Pierres Levées Chardonnay more	Options Post a Comment View Eudemis's profile Report Issue 4/19/2024 - Eudemis Likes this wine: NR 13% alcohol. The cork is above average, both in length and in quality. Pale lemony colour. The nose has good intensity with yellow flowers and a good bit of refinement. The mouth is a step behind at this early stage because of a cutting green apple (Granny Smith) flavour that dominates way too much for my taste. More seriously, a note of sour cider in the finish compromises the purity and cleanliness of the wine. No lack of substance, so this could still evolve into a more harmonious bottle. At the moment, I am leaning negative as to the repurchase decision. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
White	2023 Jordan Winery (Jardin) Unoaked Chardonnay Stellenbosch more	Options Post a Comment View ChrisSteenberg's profile Report Issue 4/1/2024 - ChrisSteenberg wrote: NR Fresh, crisp and vibrant Serve at : 9-12 DegºC A totally unique unoaked offering that is defined partly by extended lees contact that develops mouthfeel and nuance in the wine. Aromas of freshly grated lemon zest and citrus orchard that finishes with flavours of apricot puree and lime sorbet. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
