2004 Kilikanoon Shiraz Attunga 1865Clare Valley more |
7/18/2022 - dimdic wrote: 94 pointsObvious oak aroma at first. Double decant to soften the texture and tannin. It's very around and approchable after a few hours. I drank it for a few days and it showed no decline. It constantly had long lasting and stable ripe dark berry, cherry, black forest flavour. Impressive structure and body. Super balanced. There's no element that made me wow. No distinctive character. But very comfortable and truly reflect its premium quality. |

2018 Bodega Renacer MilamoreMendoza Malbec Blend, Malbec more |
10/10/2021 - dimdic wrote: 90 pointsGood trial in new world winemaking using dried grape. Dark ruby colour. Fruity red berry, blackberry and cherry at nose and palate. Quite dominant with Malbec character. Straight forward and big fruity new world style. I couldn't detect much character of dried grapes. It lacked of the hints of raisin and rustic tannin like ordinary Italian Amarone so don't try to compare it with Amarone. It's totally different style. It's quite easy drinking. Great to pair with meat. Drink well pop and pour. Easy to serve. No need to age. Drink now. |

2011 Le Macchiole Paleo RossoToscana IGT Cabernet Franc more |
6/27/2021 - dimdic wrote: 93 pointsStill not ready to drink. Tannin was young, solid and quite spicy that could irritate the drinking experience. It needed long time of breathing or decant to improve if drink now. It had a great rich earthy and herbal aroma as typical Bolgheri Cabernet Franc with good amount of french oak influence. Intense flavour of blackcurrant, blackberry and hint of chocolate. It has a lot of potential to grow for aging 10+ years more. Not recommend to drink now. |

2/25/2021 - dimdic wrote: 92 pointsGood nose of fresh flower petal, tar, ripe red berry and light hint of game. Impressed by its purity and freshness. Classic style Barolo. Tannin was powerful and firm which was a great show from Bussia. Not particular aromatic. Still young to drink now. Can be aged for a few more years. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

2000 Domini Veneti Amarone della Valpolicella ClassicoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/22/2020 - dimdic wrote: 92 pointsQuite oxidized bottle. Cloudy dark brown in colour. Strong nose of raisin, plum and herbs. Concentrated flavour of raisin, plum and cherry liquor matching with the nose. High and lingering acidity. Strong power from alcoholic heat. Big and bold body. Quite rustic tannin at finish. Good wine but in unpopular style. Not my cup of tea but rate objectively according to the wine quality. |

2004 La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 904Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
10/17/2020 - dimdic wrote: 91 pointsOpened the 2nd bottle. Quite woody and toffee aroma. Bright sour raspberry flavour. The body was lighter than expected, consistent with my 1st bottle. Quite disappointed in terms of 904 because I tasted some great bottles of other vintages before. |

6/27/2020 - dimdic wrote: 88 pointsWith light earthy and herbal nose. The palate was full of juicy berry and cherry flavour. Quite straight forward and open fruitiness. Solid structure and firm tannin. Body was lighter than expected comparing to other rosso di montalcino. Easy drinking. Value for money. It's a happy wine. |

1997 La Palazzola Umbria RubinoRed Bordeaux Blend more |
6/19/2020 - dimdic wrote: 92 pointsIt's a mature wine after 23 years of aging. The nose was highly complicated, consisting cigar box, leather, game, herbs, blackberry, earth. It's obviously cabernet sauvignon based. The tannin was still firm and solid. Very rigid and muscular structure. Deep and intense cherry, blackberry, blackcurrant flavour. Classic Italian rustic style. |

2004 La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 904Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
6/10/2020 - dimdic wrote: 93 pointsFrom one of the top iconic classic Rioja wineries. Strong and intense oak influence from nose to palate. Developed complex aroma of vanilla, toffee, sour raspberry. High and powerful acidity. Body was OK but relatively weaker than expected, comparing to other vintages. Otherwise would rate higher. |

2016 Yalumba Triangle Block Shiraz Viognier Eden ValleyShiraz Blend, Syrah more |
5/19/2020 - dimdic wrote: 85 pointsA good Aussie shiraz viognier with good value. Aromatic blackcurrant, spices and pepper on nose. Ready to drink even pop and pour now. Very easy drink and soft texture. Slightly spicy and fruity blackcurrant taste at palate. Great for party or serve with most types of food. Too jammy for me. |

2014 Friedrich Becker Pinot Noir "B"Pfalz more |
3/8/2020 - dimdic wrote: 89 pointsVery solid and muscular pinot noir. Impressive body and structure at its price tier. Dense aroma of mineral, leather, tobacco and leaf on nose. Intense flavor of red berry and cherry. Tannin was slightly hard, woody and bitter. May soften and evolve in next few years but still nice to drink now. If you like structural pinot noir within limited budget, this one is highly recommended, from a famous German producer. |

2017 Bodega Aniello Blanco de Pinot NoirAlto Valle del Rio Negro more |
12/14/2019 - dimdic wrote: 88 pointsPale golden yellow colour. The nose was full of honeysuckle, passion fruit ans some spices. Aromatic. The palate has some flavour of peach, passion fruit and white pepper-like spiciness. The acidity was low. Drink like a white wine produced from Southern France. |

1959 Antonio Ferrari Solaria Jonica Puglia IGTPrimitivo, Zinfandel more |
12/13/2019 - dimdic wrote: 94 pointsThere's no any sign of declining over 50 years. The influence of mild and slow oxidation gives this wine some interesting characters. The aroma was a complex mixture of salty mineral, leather, soy sauce, black vinegar, sour plum, raisins, orange, ginger. The spectrum was very very wide, ranging from salty, sweet with great support of acidity. It's like an orchestra. Highly intense body. It resembles some premium quality Port or Recioto but it seems it's not fortified. Super interesting. |

2008 Fattoria Galardi Terra di LavoroRoccamonfina IGT Aglianico more |
4/15/2019 - dimdic wrote: 93 pointsIt's highly acidic and tannic at first with nose of herbs, ash, spices. It then opened up with some aroma of cherry, tar and bell pepper. Super high complexity. Rich mineral body. Acidity and tannin was at right level after a few hours and continued to support the backbone of the wine for a few days (I drank for a few days with re-cork). Solid, rustic, muscular structure with some good dark cherry flavour aftertaste. Well made wine. |

Smooth and comfortable drinking experience. OK body. Not oily and waxy as many Rhone white wines. Straight forward and not much complexity. |
