2019 Chiara Condello Romagna Predappio Riserva Le Lucciole
4/20/2024 - TMOVino2 Likes this wine: 94 Points
(5/5) - Deep ruby color with no hint of orange at the rim right now.
(13/15) - Decanting definitely helped here as it initially had a bit of funk the first 30 minutes or so. Then revealing aromas of strawberry, cherry, potpouri, potting soil, leather and tobacco.
(18/20) - This is well balanced. Acidity you'd expect from sangiovese at this young age but very mellow tannins up front. The tannins are a bit resolved but then get you on the back of the palate. Flavors of cherry, pomegranate, spice. Quite enjoyable with food but something I found myself just sitting and sipping on throughout the evening.
(8/10) - Great QPR wine here. Hits well above it's price point and outperforms in my book many BdM's I quite enjoy. This "reserva" is quite a step up over Chiara's entry offering in my opinion as well.
94 with room to gain a point or two.

2015 Theorem Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Voir Dire

(5/5) - Deep magenta purple that gets darker the longer it is open.
(12/15) - This seems to lack a bit on the nose compared to the 2014 for me. Shows dark fruit (blackberry), plum, cherry, licorice, and on day two an unami quality. Decent, but not blowing me away.
(18/20) - Overall this carries a lot of dark fruit, oak spice, some tobacco. Tannin structure is extremely delicate here and starts showing it's grip 20 seconds in. Acidity just a touch out of balance at the moment, but not in an overdone way, likely just life cycle of the wine. Good now with a couple hour decant but should continue to age and add secondary flavors and aromas with another decade on it.
(7/10) - Overall thi is a high quality and good wine, but compared to the 2014's I've had this was a bit of a let down. Sadly, I've only had the 14/15's of this wine but would love to see how these evolved in vintages like 16, 18, 19. - 92+ for me this time.

Lovely nose of strawberry ice cream, sea salt but not much else. On the palate this wasn’t my favorite. For me needed another gram or two dosage. Fun to try but prefer others.
