2021 Vassaltis Gramina Cuvée des VigneronsSantorini Assyrtiko more |
5/8/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 92 points91-92 Really balanced wine and the oak helps make this very rounded and enjoyable. Powdery and slatey with nice rounded mouthfeel without being too heavy. |

5/8/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 91 pointsI feel like this wine is in a semi closed phase. We didn't decant but should have, last glass was the best. |

1980 Domaine Tortochot Mazis-ChambertinMazis-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/8/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 88 pointsInteresting for sure and had a window of about 1 hour from opening where it showed well, then went downhill from there. Tea, rusty nail, tertiary flavours. Would be confused with an aged barolo easily. |

4/21/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice but not exceptional. Had a slightly sweeter and more concentrated fruit profile while being more approachable than last few vintages I've tried. |

2019 Lillian Winery SyrahSanta Barbara County more |
2/4/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 92 points92-93 This needed some air to open up and express itself. Great wine needs some time. Got some nice sweetness and peppery notes without being over the top. Elegance balanced with strength; very nice wine. |

2019 Dominio Pingus Ribera del Duero Flor de PingusTempranillo more |
2/4/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 93 pointsToo young, needs a long decant. Shows bordeaux qualities regarding structure and purity of fruit; great wine but needs time. |

2021 Kongsgaard ChardonnayNapa Valley more |
2/4/2024 - ta75 Likes this wine: 94 pointsNo formal notes but I think the best vintage of this wine I've tried. As the night went on it developed Riesling aromas of hay, petrol, straw. Baked apples, apricots with excellently balanced acidity and oak not overbearing with a bit of air. I don't agree with the drinking window. I say open now and within a few years for the best results; and allow it to breathe in the glass. WOTN |

2017 Buccella Mixed BlacksAmador County Red Blend more |
12/21/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 93 pointsGood but nothing spectacular. Given the price tag, I ideally wanted a little more. I think a few more years of cellaring will be beneficial; quite a lot of oak. Good but not really memorable; and given the price, I'm not so sure about the value here. 92-93 |

2018 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon LyndenhurstSt. Helena more |
12/15/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 92 pointsGained some complexity since last tasting. Great cab and silky feel. Everything on point . Wish I had some more to try in 5 years. |

2018 Hobbs Shiraz GregorBarossa Range more |
11/2/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally big wine. A toasty oak note was present that was a bit off putting. The last glass was the best so I can tell this should age, but not sure what it will become. Nice wine, not sure about the value proposition. |

10/28/2023 - ta75 wrote: 88 pointsThis has gone on the downhill. The first bottle I tried about two years ago was much better. Don’t really know why, but the last two bottles were worse. Too high acid without the fruit to back it up. Not really enjoyable without food. |

1996 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/30/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 91 pointsI think its best days are behind, nice experience though with a mix of mainly secondary/tertiary and light primary flavours. Truffle, leather, dark cherry. Was looking for more lead pencil and earthy bark but wasn't giving much of those . I would say drink now if you have any. |

2014 Estate Papaioannou TerroirPeloponnisos Agiorgitiko more |
9/11/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 91 points3 hours in the decanter and it opened up beautifully. Dark chewy fruits and great structure make this one of Nemea’s greats. I think this needs another 5 years or more to show its maximum potential. The last sip was the best. 91-92 |

2019 Château Feytit ClinetPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/5/2023 - ta75 Likes this wine: 93 pointsNo formal notes, the wine is extremely luscious and enjoyable with a deep velvety feel and dark chocolate covered cherries mixed in with minerality and ample acidity. I do think it needs to be aged 3-5 years at this point and the score is based on today. I believe a few points higher in the next few years is very possible. Great qpr too, glad I have some more. |
