2008 Tenuta di Capraia Chianti Classico Riserva

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more

12/30/2022 - Soreng wrote: 94 points

Really excellent at this point, such balance, very elegant and very complex. Old school chianti classico riserva, still has energy for further aging, up to 5 years. But no need to wait.

Consistent with previous note; simply amazing wine. Unbelievable freshness to the fruit and such purity. Thirteen years old and like drinking freshly squeesed fruit with amazing complexity brought by mother earth.

If you tried and loved wine from etna, try this and be surprised by the “vulcanic” minerality and depth in this top wine from underappreciated cru beaujolais.

No hurry at all, no Signes of aging except added complexity.

A really delicate wine, very well balanced. Concentrated yet light and elegant, not least due to its amazing acidity. Good complexity - and the taste is simply great, with much garrigue, as pointed out by GDA202. A real treat at this point. 91-92

Some minerality, but a bit past its prime. Obvious oak, okay acidity. The purity and some good mineral notes makes this an enjoyable acquaintance. Probably was 87-88 a year ago.

2016 Domaine Lucien Lardy Fleurie Les Moriers Vieilles Vignes de 1911

Gamay more

To me this is right up there at 93-94+ points, but, I admit; this is my favourite style of wine. Really amazing minerality and such smooth perfectly tamed, and abundant, tannin; this will keep for many many years.
At this point it is simply delicious with strawberry compot dominating and combining brilliantly with the unusual almost etna/volcano minerality, which makes it highly unusual and a very good buy at any price up to 30€. So get it before prices go up, im sure they will for cru beaujolais in the near future.

2018 Lagar de Cervera Pazo de Seoane Rosal

Rías Baixas Albariño more

7/2/2020 - Soreng wrote: 89 points

Quite fantastic exuberant flowery tropical nose. Very fresh in mouth with super elegant and high acidity, with some mineral. Tasty, and at this point actually more complex than its one-variety albarino sibling from the same producer. It is, however, the high acidity and freshness which will make this wine an absolute favourite this summer. Not sure how this will evolve, but great right now! Has similarities with Muscadet from Loire.

This is a very fruitdominated style of wine. About purity and freshness and nonintervention, as it says on label and which is very recognisable when tasted. It is pure and has good quality taanins, lovely tannins in fact. No grapes mentioned on label. Earthy smoky elements suggests mouvedre(?). Suprisingly good for the price.

2016 San Felice Chianti Classico

6/21/2020 - Soreng wrote: 93 points

Consistent with previous tastings/note, except that it has opened up a bit. And a distnict minty note and that it has such quality tannin, simply great.
Better than the most of the high level wines from the same producer. Very enjoyable now due to its freshness and the mild bite from the tannin, will be hard to save bottles for later although it certainly has the potential. 92-93

The light beautiful structure of this pinot/gamay-like wine does not work with the high 14,7% alcohol. Otherwise beatiful and lovely wine which is similar but less balanced than other old vines high altitude grenache bottlings from good producers in Spain. Smells like good strawberry-dominated, lightly oaked beaujolais cru but the alcohol takes it out of balance. RP 90

Very good minerality and outstanding purity and acidity, with tertiary notes of cheese and sour feet. Not a typical nz sauvignon blanc, would have guessed high acidity pinot blanc from Gernany or Alsace in blind test. Outstanding purity and racersharp acidity. For purists..

Good balance and very drinkable. Typical for variety and NZ terroir in nose, with a toasted element too. Good depth in fruit and lovely acidity and a decent minerality too in mouth. Again it has notes very typical for variety, but the wine has greater purity and balance and finishiing citrus-acid bite than its competitors strive for at this entry level. I have had Poully Fume wines lately at more than the double price which gave only slightly more pleasure. 89
