A bit of spice. Somewhat lacking in fruit. Soft tannins. Not a varietally correct cabernet sauignon. I had greater expectations for Domaines Barons de Rothschild. It's OK, but nothing special.

2011 Achával-Ferrer Quimera

12/16/2015 - surfcityvino Likes this wine:
Well balanced. Cassis, blackberry, and blueberry with a nuanced oak foundation and a hint of tobacco. Bordeaux varietal blend only improve the Malbec. Opens up nicely after about an hour.

2014 Castello di Gabbiano Chianti

11/28/2015 - surfcityvino Does not like this wine:
Overpriced at any price. Overextracted and simplistic to a fault. No discernible nose. Faint cherry notes but nothing to redeem it.
