1995 Château Calon-SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/14/2024 - RKcellar Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy first fully mature Bordeaux. Sat upright for 3 days to work the sediment down to the bottom. Bursting with tertiary earthiness, leather, tomato leaf, basil/herb. evolved and morphed from red to black fruit. raisinated and caramel and then, at the finish, fresh red fruit. a fun experience worth seeking out 1 person found this helpful, do you?

2/24/2024 - RKcellar Likes this wine: 85 pointsvery cheap, $15, and well-made and enjoyable at that price. not sure of the cuvee but felt like a simple, merlot based red with black and red fruit. resolved tannins and short finish |

2015 Low Places Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
1/9/2024 - RKcellar Likes this wine: 91 pointsI've had a few of these over the last year or so, a solid buy at the $20ish price point. don't wait if you're holding this. pure black fruit, blackberry, currant, well-integrated oak. |

2018 CrossBarn (Paul Hobbs) Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
1/2/2024 - RKcellar Likes this wine: 88 pointslacking the complexity to score above 90. has textbook cali characteristics with a lot of oak, menthol, jammy fruit but not too much. elegant and doesn't totally overdo it but the steep price of Napa makes this hard to imagine buying again. had better wines from Paul Hobbs for less from Argentina |

2019 Fiorenzo Nada Nebbiolo LangheLanghe DOC more |
1/1/2024 - RKcellar Likes this wine: 90 pointsgreat nose of cherry, forest, roses, with more dark fruit on the palate. needs about an hour to mellow out. really like this but the finish is the weakest aspect, wanted more |

2018 Château Bernard MagrezBordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/29/2023 - RKcellar wrote: 85 pointstook a chance at $20 recognizing the Magrez name and enjoying many of their wines. i don't think this at that price is compelling, although if found at a lower cost it would be enticing. blackberry, black cherry, violet, some vegetal tones that i didn't fully appreciate. some tannic structure holding together a middling finish. sounds harsh i know, but that price will produce good Rioja and Cotes du Rhone and I consider that in the score |
