  • 2004 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 96 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri, Bolgheri Sassicaia

    Blackberry, spices flavors in a balanced and quite intense style. It performed a lot better than I had hope. Simply stunning and it could easily continue to improve for quite some time! Loved it!

  • 2017 Realm Cellars The Bard 95 Points

    Lush, open and a lovely balance. Packed with elegant black currant fruit but also a fine acidity that provides a fine balance. 94-95p

  • 1994 Quinta do Vesuvio Porto Vintage 92 Points

    Portugal, Douro, Porto

    Nicely developed wine starting to show almonds and milk chocolate. Has a touch of orange rind but also some spices and dark plum fruit. But, it is fairly oxidized but in a good way. Lovely wine.

  • 2000 Quinta do Noval Porto Vintage 94 Points

    Portugal, Douro, Porto

    Dark plum and blackberries and still very youthful. There are some spices but the wine is currently mostly primary dark fruit. Still, a very lovely wine that will continue to improve as it evolves. Impressive!

  • 2003 Château Léoville Las Cases 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien

    Elegant black currant fruit and a fine acidity. For me, it did seem a bit off balance at the moment but in general a fine wine. Lots of elegance combined with a fine intensity.
