2007 Viña Cobos Malbec Bramare Marchiori VineyardLujan de Cuyo more |
3/14/2016 - Mig22 wrote: 93 pointsSo well made. Nose was cab-like with the cassis but an old dry leather and a bit of spice overlaid. Mouthfeel perfectly medium weight, firm. The palate was a great balance of fruit and secondaries and great length. |

3/1/2016 - Mig22 wrote: 81 pointsHeavy, out of balance. The 'acidity' was probably added with a measuring flask. The good fruit was not enough to save it. |

3/3/2016 - Mig22 wrote: 87 pointsNice hints of green with restrained black fruit and a little funk. Light mouthfeel but good spice. Solid. |

3/2/2016 - Mig22 wrote: 88 pointsBeautiful balance with more fruit than I expected and a medium weight mouthfeel that just works. Simple but great value. |

12/24/2015 - Mig22 wrote: 94 pointsKeeps getting better. Didn't need much air this year, was ready on opening. Nose had a lot of nebbiolo things going on with roses coming out on top. Long finish, great fruit. |

11/11/2015 - Mig22 wrote: 89 pointsIt was what I expected. And I could drink a 100 of these. The bottle you get while in country that the locals don't drink at home but would recognize as very well done. |

11/8/2015 - Mig22 wrote: 89 pointsRich, easy, balanced wine. Classic bordeaux nose but nothing that deep. Mouthfeel fairly soft and the flavors were solid with expected fruits. Great value |

11/11/2015 - Mig22 wrote: 86 pointsGreen, brambles. Weight medium-light. pretty nose after a bit of air but in a blind tasting, I would have guessed a medium quality producer with a fairly thin wine. Solid. |

1997 Château Coutet BarsacSémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
9/12/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 90 pointsHoney, apricot maybe, and a lovely mouthfeel. Serve this on the cooler end of the range to lessen the syrupy nature as the only fault could be a need for more acidity. |

2006 Seven Hills Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Klipsun VineyardRed Mountain more |
8/23/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 91 points8 years old, still has plenty of fruit. Such light weight and good acidity mostly balances the alcohol. The flowers and fruit make a truly great nose. Day 2 a bit more refined with some earth and tangy hints. A beauty now. |

1989 Château Bel-Air LagraveMoulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/31/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 92 pointsAn hour of air in the bottle. It is still a beauty, the smoky leather over still-bright fruit. 25 years young...it has a yum factor and paired with pork steaks and kale very well. |

6/26/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 92 pointsSimply wonderful. It's dark, has an aromatic tar and spice to it with plenty of fruit but it's not too heavy. Finish goes for a day and a half. |

4/21/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 92 pointsUnlike earlier bottles which were solid but not great, this little juicebox was drinking beautifully. It had depth but still felt fresh. If you have 375s, you won't go wrong drinking them now. |

3/7/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 93 pointsStill fresh as a young wine and only just starting to deepen in its tones. Lots of different fruit and an essential Riesling-ness and mouth-watering acidity. Next one gets another 5 years to wait. |

2004 Giacomo Grimaldi Barolo Sotto Castello di NovelloNebbiolo more |
3/2/2014 - Mig22 wrote: 91 pointsWhat a difference a couple of years made: This is beautiful now. Ripe cherries, a dusty dry tar, and only a little excess alcohol. Opened up after an hour. It's a decade old now and has a LOT left. 1 left and it won't be touched for at least 5 more years. |

2010 Domaine Charles Audoin Marsannay Cuvée Marie RagonneauPinot Noir more |
10/8/2013 - Mig22 wrote: 90 pointsToo young, I suppose but the raw materials are very nice. It has a bigger nose than the flavor of the juice but there is enough fruit to go with the acid and structure that it is going to age beautifully. Leave it be for at least a couple of years. |
