1975 Château FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/2/2023 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NRThis winery is right in my 'cheese house'. It's always a little more herbal and a little more spicy and darker fruits that sometimes come through but sometimes are overtaken by the rest. I think a bit more cabernet franc than some others. This was just drinking great. It's classic and structured and solid and while this might not have been the easiest year to make wine I think they made something that has really stood the test of time. Very enjoyable. |

11/25/2010 - bacchus wrote: 89 pointsshared with pat, donna, giulio, frankie, ellen, mahesh, grandpa and grandma for thanksgiving at selkirk manor. i had held onto this bottle for sentimental reasons despite knowing that this wine had reached its peak several years ago. luckily, this bottle was still alive although rather sedate. the fact that this wine of relatively modest pedigree remains enjoyable 12 years past the vintage speaks to the quality of the terroir, fruit and winemaking technique involved in creating this product. robust dark fruit flavors have given way to soft florals. after 20 minutes in the glass it starts to fade. this remains my favorite chieti producer.

11/5/2021 - bevetroppo Likes this wine: 90 pointsI bought this because it was recommended highly be our local MW, who compared it to Clos Rougeard at 1/10th the price. Clos Rougeard prices have gotten stupid, so I no longer drink them, and in fact my last tasting note on their Poyeux bottle was in 2013 (for the 2002 vintage) well before it eclipsed $100.

6/11/2021 - DoubleD1969 Likes this wine: NRFrom magnum. Brought to dinner with friends. Clear pale yellow color. Beautiful nose of tangerine, jasmine, and sea spray. Palate is full of stone fruit with a citrus and mineral finish. Such a pleasure to drink by itself or with food. Simply delicious.

2009 Duemani Syrah Costa Toscana Suisassimore |
2/26/2020 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 93 pointsSteak and Syrah Night (Tuscany Steakhouse): Opened, but not decanted for about 45 minutes before pouring. Rich, smooth, and more like a Northern Rhone Syrah, than a CA or AU wine. Very enjoyable. Prior bottles felt very full bodied, but this one felt more mid weight.

What makes someone review the same wine 8 times, with basically the same notes and exactly the same 90 pt score each time? Does this have ant benefit? I certainly don't see any.

9/2/2018 - willie_p74 Does not like this wine: 70 pointsNose is smooth and silky, dry cherry notes. Mouthfeel is very light, bordering on thin. The flavors are there but fleeting and the wine has a too little structure for me. Paired with a lasagna meal and it doesn't bring much to the table.

11/23/2017 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NROff the by the glass list at Vaucluse on Thanksgiving. This was a nice festive start to the meal. Nothing particularly stood out on it. It was moderate bubbles and a hint of toast but mostly more in the clean, apple form. Went nicely with a tuna appetizer.

NV Fantini Edizione Cinque AutoctoniVino da Tavola Red Blend more |
5/2/2016 - grapenomad Likes this wine: 100 pointsThis Edizione was bottled in 2015. After opening and decanting it for a whole day, the wine was still tight. Deep, ruby red with purple hues. Lots of finesse on the nose - not explosive, not restrained, just right. Massive blackberry and ripe blueberry, spices (vanilla, cloves, white pepper), green bell pepper, smoke and hints of rosemary and grassiness. Dry and full body with a thick texture, juicy acidity and tannins. Warming, balanced alcohol. Refreshing finish with a subtle oak note. Fresh fruit dominating the palate. Even though this wine has a huge potential, it is too young to drink in 2016 - the acidity is too crisp, tannins are sharp and the oak dominates most of the wine. Give it time.

12/12/2015 - Bklyndude wrote: flawedPlayed Russian roulette last night with 2 of the 5 splits of this vintage that recently came into my possession, at a suspiciously low price point, from a consigner. One had a toenail in the land of the living, but just barely (a hint of fruit before it veered violently into the land of Vinegar), the other was DOA. So two blanks out of five shells...hopefully one of the remaining 3 will ignite.

4/16/2016 - Primordialsoup Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally pleasant experience with this new world pinot. In a very good place right now. Certainly "modern" being lush and fruit forward. Really well made. Wife even commented on it as to how good it was- a rare admission. Paired with salmon and basil cream pasta with asparagus. Delicious on its own and with the meal. Wish I had more.

11/21/2015 - capacious Likes this wine: 91 pointsStill more on the dark and purple side, with little bricking. Not really willing to give of itself, somewhat tight knit, and dense. Yes, clear signs of secondary, and enjoyed, and It didn't seem like this had probably been better before- But the sense was- seems like there should be a bit more to this.

11/6/2015 - capacious Likes this wine: 93 pointsFresh from a visit to the winery with the wine maker, I strived not to overrate just because of the remarkable experience of spending two hours with the artist. A big, but not overdone wine, surprisingly approachable this young, tannins well integrated, slightly sweet, lengthy. Very good.

11/6/2015 - WinthropT96 wrote: 92 pointsDrinking well and may try to quickly find more. Paired with pasta with tomatoes, olives, capers and oil. Still a beautiful garnet color not showing age. Great nose of black cherry, leather and tobacco. Good body and holds up over the full sip if a tad short on the finish. More complex leather & cocoa on the palate. Interested if other years from the producer are as good/better?

2013 Dierberg Chardonnay Dierberg VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
5/13/2015 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 92 pointsSome Blind Cali Chards: Light gold color. Nose shows yellow apple, juicy peaches, lime zest, some honeyed tea and light almond elements. A creamy, richness to the wine but the acid cuts through and jolts it to life. Peaches, yellow apples, some papaya, kiwi, lime drizzled on top. Honeyed notes, along with almond and spiced tea, but it stays juicy and tangy. A lasting sense of mineral and river rocks, clean and bright, chalk and seashells. Very complex, could show a lot to the patient. A wonderful blend of sunshiny fruit mixed with pure, mineral elegance.

6/7/2015 - salil wrote: 87 pointsLeo's Blind Tasting Group - June '15 edition (Amali, NYC): Doesn't live up to its label or price point at all. Bright citrus and pear fruit and some stony mineral notes beneath that emerge with more air, but not a lot in the way of depth or complexity. There's nice balance with decent if not especially vibrant acidity beneath, but this drinks like a fairly simple village wine. Very disappointing.
