4/12/2019 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: 93 pointsDay 2 for bottle. Marked improvement over day 1 - demonstrates the need for a few years in bottle, IMO. Dark crimson. Earth, sour cherry and raspberry a touch of tea on the nose. Confirmed those elements when tasted, with a bit of strawberry in the mix. The oak and the structure receded so the fruit came through more. Overall, very nice indeed. |

4/6/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: 93 pointsBlack and red fruit, good structure, some vanilla from oak. Beautifully soft, silky but also acid to provide freshness. Seductive and hard to stop drinking. Still has 5-7 years of life, but no need to wait. Best Chianti Classico I've had. |

11/21/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E wrote: NRSecond night, after storing in the fridge. Much juicier and more open. A bit of red sweet fruits, and earth, with upfront, fine tannins. Rounder and softer than the first night, trading energy and freshness for sweet fruit and tannin. |

11/20/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E wrote: NRBright red, very transparent and bright. Evidently not dense or extracted - even a bit pale/watery at the bricking edges. Nose of earth, dried cherries. Fresh is the first word I think of, then earthy and savory with a touch of sweetness and a bit of bitterness/spiciness coming from the stems. Some tannin on the finish. A good drink now. |

11/8/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E wrote: NRGarnet. Pale meniscus. Red berry/dried cherry nose. Some pine, earth. Precise, crystalline, red berry (raspberry) in the mouth. A hint of bitter on the finish. Fine tannins. Elegant. Reticent at opening, better with some air. Enjoyable for its elegance - has depth, complexity, but balanced and not sweet or hot. |

11/5/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: NRBright red. Pale. Clear at the edge. Waited 15 mins for funk to blow off. Bright, transparent purplish-red; cool fruit nose - raspberry - with good acid. Easy with food. My wife noted it was lacking a bit of concentration, but I liked the elegance. |

10/16/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Does not like this wine: NRVery pale brick color. Sweet, lacking both fruit and intensity. The youthful energy was gone and nothing replaced it. Maybe a bad bottle? |

10/4/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: NRA little reduction that blew off. Intense red fruit. Complex. Nice grip. Powerful, but not heavy or tiring. Savory, not sweet. Very enjoyable. I drank it to test its character: young and juicy at this point...all about potential, for me. |

1996 Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les BoudotsPinot Noir more |
6/14/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E Likes this wine: 91 pointsOn the first night, I opened this and decided it was well over the hill or suffering from storage issues, but re-corked it and left it for night 2. What a difference. It gained weight and fruit...earth, forest floor, black cherry and Vosne spice. Very nice,with integrated tannins. Enjoyable. |

2009 Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir Cargasacchi VineyardSta. Rita Hills more |
6/13/2013 - Hex triplet #43302E wrote: 88 pointsRed-purple color, red fruit/raspberry and a whiff of menthol on the nose, cool red fruit in the mouth. A bit of warmth at the back end. Big and flashy, but given that, feels like it's missing some mid-palate weight. Better with time in the glass. Needs time...not sure what it will become, but interested to see in a couple years. |
