And the fact ferregamo bought it, the fact they got 99 points by JS plus its situated on a majestic mountaintop. I rem as i poured out the wine, i remember a nice swirling consistentence and a colour that beams. But alas as i took the first gulp and then second gulp, i was abit taken aback that the taste really came across as just normal…. Nothing out of the spectrum and i wasn’t floored by the experience and needless to say i struggled with understanding how it got 99 points? Not here to throw rocks because i actually bought 4 more bottles of 2015 and 3 more 2016 subsequently to probably convince myself otherwise? Hence i am curious does anyone have any similar experience like me? Or what am i actually missing out?

3/2/2024 - C.W.Birdies wrote: NRStill trying to like Chianti but can’t get there. First glass was nice with dark red fruit, some leather and not quite tobacco but something close. Acidity was in good balance. After the first glass the acidity seemed to ramp up and fruit faded. Fine, but not really what we like

2018 Le Haut Fortin Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
2/28/2024 - OaktownRush Likes this wine: NRNotes of sage, crushed stones, lavender, dried flowers — crushed stones sort of lead the way with the other notes on the edges. Palate is pretty bright with ripe strawberry, incense, finishes with some more preserved red fruit — not overcooked though. Texturally definitely in a drink now style, soft tannins and not a ton of structure overall, but it’s good with clear CdP notes and a nice balance to it.

2016 Domaine Olivier B. Ventoux Les AmidyvesSyrah Blend, Syrah more |
2/16/2024 - tward Likes this wine: 92 pointsPORTLAND SETH's recent TN had me fearing this was already in decline since my first bottle nearly four years ago, but this bottle was singing. It opened with a medicinal note, but not off-putting. Black olive, some black tea, chocolate, mint, rich cherry almost cough syrup but again somehow not in a bad way, nice acid on the finish, shows some rich, deep, dark fruits, with air long finish again with some tea. I'm not fully capturing this wine. It was excellent.

2/12/2024 - Portland Seth wrote: NRLast of two cases. I had intended to save it for science but I don't always read my tasting notes before pulling a bottle. Three years ago this was a 95 pt wine, but it's just too sweet and hot and the garrigue has receded putting it completely out of balance. The nose still has interesting brambly notes but the palate tastes fortified. Au revoir!

2019 Château Langoa BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/22/2024 - Tom’s Notes Likes this wine: 90 pointsMy wife picked this out of the cellar. Too young for me. I’d give it at least 10 more years. Langoa Barton is a classic Bordeaux in taste, color etc. For me it has that beautiful Bordeaux nose. Nothing better than a sniff of this. I have many across several vintages. Will buy Langoa all day long for a great value. For this one, given the price, hold for 10 years and enjoy the fruits of picking a reasonably priced wine that will be incredible with a meal, and impress a friend.

1/20/2024 - Deegie Likes this wine: 93 pointsTasted blind in a Cab showdown. Opened six hours prior to slowly oxygenate. Got mostly ripe red plum and some leather. It’s a bold wine with a punch of both tannin and acid, which I enjoy. It was very good but clearly could use a little time to develop.

1/9/2024 - Portland Seth Does not like this wine: 78 pointsTastes like tawny port except that it's dry and not sweet. It has a smooth, woody finish and I think it would be great for cooking or Sangria. That's more than I can say for other wineries that have sold me bad wines (not just bad bottles), so definitely not the worst, but it makes me really miss the '18 which was delicious.

2015 Clos du Joncuas GigondasRed Rhone Blend more |
5/17/2023 - Portland Seth Likes this wine: 93 pointsThree years ago I said this wine wouldn't get any better, but it has. Five years ago I said it could be great in a few years. Greatness achieved, so let's call it even. Blackberry, graphite, cedar, garrigue, burnt toast. Excellent lift and depth of flavor. Truly the only flaw is the 15% abv which it can't always hide. A tremendous value if you have the patience, I'll be loading up on future vintages as St. Cosme and St. Damien cost 50% more.

12/26/2023 - LiquidGrape Does not like this wine: 83 pointsNever had this bottling before so I have nothing to compare but this was very disappointing. Nose was muted with minimal fruit. Predominately herbaceous and leathery notes. Much of the same on the palate. Tart cherry, herbs, black tea with more acidity and fine tannins on the finish.

2010 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/16/2023 - iBurg1229 Likes this wine: 97 pointsK&L Bordeaux Tasting: 14.5% ABV. Deep ruby core, with garnet developing at the rim. High-pitched black fruit, violet, anise, graphite, cigar humidor, blackcurrant leaf, scorched earth. Beautiful perfume and structure on this. Tannins are still very present, but more rounded than I expected given the reputation of 2010. Nice acidity level. LONG finish. Already fantastic now but this will develop even more wonderful complexity with more time.

2016 Château MeyneySt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/17/2023 - lkilpio Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis structured, intensive, still fairly tight and now somewhat closed wine is having a considerable ageing potential. The wine is also fruity, however, making it fully drinkable at the moment, especially after decanting. The wine is displaying beautiful, classic notes of blackberry, blackcurrant, plum, cedar, pencil and wet earth. All in all, this is very good now, and it will be even better in the future. (Unfortunately enough, this was my one and only bottle.)
