2013 Anakena Ona Special ReserveLeyda Valley White Blend more |
10/15/2017 - Docsharpe Does not like this wine: 77 pointsNot sure what they were thinking. Intensely aromatic, with ripe tropical fruit and sweet honey/ vanilla. Dry and full-bodied, Med acid, high alcohol, med+ intensity on the palate and med+ finish. The viognier really overpowers the other grapes and we did not find it a pleasant drinkable wine. We’ll use the rest for cooking. |

2014 Alain Graillot Crozes-HermitageSyrah more |
9/23/2016 - Docsharpe Likes this wine: 92 pointsExcellent wine. Aromas of tobacco, tar, leather, anise, black pepper and dark fruit. Medium tannins, medium acidity, and medium alcohol combine into a very well-balanced old world style Syrah. Drinkable now but will age for several years. I'm definitely going out and buying more. |

9/2/2016 - Docsharpe wrote: 85 pointsRed fruit with a medicinal, ashy aroma. Medium intensity nose. on the palate there is Med + acidity, medium + tannins, and more tart red fruit- cranberries and rhubarb. Not a very well-balanced wine with the tannins and high alcohol exaggerated by the tart fruit flavors. |
