2022 Castellare di Castellina Chianti ClassicoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
4/25/2024 - Bob H wrote: 94 pointsMy first time trying this vintage, and I’m enjoying this. Herbs and red fruit on the nose, good acidity on the palate, and pretty tasty. Not the most complex wine, but an honest, true to form, Chianti Classico. |

2021 Daniel & Julien Barraud Pouilly-Fuissé En Buland Vieilles VignesChardonnay more |
4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRVery nice. I will admit that I normally prefer the Les Crays or Sur La Roche when it comes to Barraud's wines, but the Buland is very good in this vintage, with a strong streak of minerality that is hard to ignore. Good acidity & persistence, and quite a nice glass of Chardonnay. |

4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy 3rd note on this wine - I can't recall if I've actually drunk any others previously without bothering to post a note. At any rate, one of the things that I personally enjoy about wine consumption is the ability to track a wine through it's various stages of evolution. When I look at my previous two notes, it's obvious that this wine is showing a lot more structure at this point - perhaps on earlier looks, it was buried by the wine's "baby fat". |

2020 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc La Croix BoisséeChenin Blanc more |
4/17/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy last bottle of this, and I have to admit that this wine has grown on me. And that is despite some bottle variation. A complex white that has been fun to watch as it has evolved, I would definitely buy this again. Saline notes on the nose, not overly flashy on the palate but something that satisfies - no shock & awe in this glass. |

2022 Walter Scott Chardonnay Cuvée AnneWillamette Valley more |
4/12/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRMy first time checking this new vintage out for this wine. As is often the case with Walter Scott Chardonnays, reductive notes on the nose. I would call it mildly reductive, but I will caveat that by saying that I don't mind some reduction on the nose in Chardonnay, so you might find this to be more noticeable. 2 people found this helpful, do you?

4/9/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRI’m having a glass from a bottle opened two nights ago, and my concerns with my earlier tasting note are still relevant here regarding the lack of any real mid-palate presence. Pleasant enough, but lacking anything that makes me sit up and take notice. |

2010 Montenidoli Sono Montenidoli Toscana IGTSangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
3/24/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRTruly in the zone, and it has been for a while. Sweet & sour cherry fruit on the palate with copious acidity and great persistence. Hard to imagine this getting any better, but given how stellar it has been for the past five or so years, who’s to say that it doesn’t have another gear left. I will be drinking my remaining bottles in the near term, as I just love where this wine is right now. |

2021 Istine Chianti ClassicoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
3/19/2024 - Bob H wrote: NRRecommended by a fellow wine drinker as his go-to pizza wine, and I have been very impressed with Istine's single vineyard and Riserva wines, so I decided to track this down to check out. Lighter-bodied with prominent acidity, this is likable and I do get the comment about pairing this with pizza. I will say, and this is not intended as a slight on this wine's quality, but at least based on the bottles I have previously tried, it is definitely worthwhile here to spend the extra coin for the single vineyard wines. That said, I would buy this again. |
