Red	2009 Villa Maria Pinot Noir Cellar Selection Marlborough more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 12/31/2016 - garethb Likes this wine: 92 points Fantastic. Developed so much depth now. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

White	2014 Waipara Hills Riesling more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 10/7/2016 - garethb Likes this wine: 88 points Lovely green apple acidity, off dry but well balanced. Excellent, should age well. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2008 Villa Maria Pinot Noir Reserve Marlborough more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 5/30/2016 - garethb Likes this wine: 88 points Fairly light weight but great lunch wine. Initially a bit of bitterness, best to decant for an hour to get the best out of it. Quite cloudy in appearance but doesn't seem in any way flawed, label has a note about minimal fining so perhaps just a more 'natural' approach. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2008 Araldica Barbaresco Corsini Nebbiolo more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 3/23/2016 - garethb Likes this wine: 88 points Nice, needs to be decanted a good hour. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2006 Prà Ripasso della Valpolicella Superiore Morandina Corvina Blend, Corvina more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 1/11/2016 - garethb Likes this wine: 91 points Very smooth and powerful. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2008 Gérard Bertrand Minervois-La Livinière Château Laville Bertrou Red Rhone Blend more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 7/21/2015 - garethb wrote: 82 points Possibly a little over the hill, tried a few years back and it was lovely. Lacking acidity and structure, just sits on the tongue like an unfocused mass. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2007 Negreiros Douro Reserva Red Blend more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 7/21/2015 - garethb Likes this wine: 91 points Very smooth, well integrated oak, sweet but not jammy fruit. Still feels like it has years left. Wish I had more! Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
White	2014 Vidal Estate Riesling Marlborough more	Options Post a Comment View garethb's profile Report Issue 7/8/2015 - garethb Likes this wine: 87 points Zingy, tight and refreshing. So zingy and uptight it probably deserves a few years to relax a bit. Lots of acidity that makes it seems drier than the sugar content would suggest - that should tip towards being sweeter after a few years. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

A nose off smooth caramel & whiskey. Dry spicy palate. Had it open for a week and it's holding together perfectly. Pairs brilliantly with salty adobo beef. Also works with coriander heavy dishes.
