Tight and too young, needs 5 years. High quality oak and fruit but tastes international, like bdx/graves.

Silky and ready, a bit past it's prime. Fairly simple and subtle though no doubt well made. Pass.

2017 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon La Croix Boissée

Cabernet Franc more

Signature raspberry soil herbal veggie Baudry nose but thin and hollow in the mouth. A bit sour on the end too so I just shrugged my shoulders. Let these rest 2-3 yrs and check back in.

Tangerine hued and round, very full. Drinking perfectly now. Pair with roast chicken. Looks to have 5+ years left. Sunny and gorgeous.

2008 Bodegas Alejandro Fernández Ribera del Duero Tinto Pesquera Reserva

Tempranillo more

2/8/2021 - AndrewR wrote: 91 points

Feels like I missed the peak a few years ago but this is still lip smacking and flat out delicious. Blows away most Bordeaux twice its price and tastes like nervy espresso chocolate and blueberries (not in a goopy way). Ideal for grilled steaks and a great switch if youre a cali cab or bdx addict.

9/7/2020 - AndrewR wrote: 92 points

Exotic spice and oak set this apart. Silky smooth, cinnamon color, full of flavor. More new world but still delicious. Worth $80 - $100. Will go 10 more years but entering the sweet spot now. Yum.

I think I drank this with bistro Paul Bert pepper steaks I made a while back for the wife, hard to remember. Who cares about overpriced, over the hill Burgundy during the Covid apocalypse anyway?

Seems to have hit its plateau and its just a vast boring canvas. Nothing sticks out, nothing is unique. I poured most of it down the drain.

The cork is completely blank and this should be an indicator of whats to come. Honest, boring, table wine follows that should be gulped without much thought. A disgrace this is called "Barbaresco".

Fully mature and rounded out with class and elegance for days. Mid weight luxury with a sweet bloody, sticky core. Primed for a prime cut of grilled steak. Drink em if youve got em.

Put on weight after two hours and showed near promise but ultimately this is mid weight and on a slow decline. Mild complexity, mild finish. Drink these Jamets young while asking yourself why you paid $100 for a $35 wine.
