1994 Duckhorn Vineyards Merlot Howell Mountainmore |
5/23/2011 - txakolina wrote: 91 pointsGarnet, fades at edges to slightly brick color. Nose of black fruit, blackberry and eucalyptus. With moderate alcohol and medium + acidity this wine has aged well. Tannins are fine & well integrated. Palate is complex with a slight vegetal note. This is at peak now but shows no signs of fading- will hold 3-5 years more. |

Long finish of citrus, tangerine, and grapefruit coupled with that honeyed note. This wine is a conundrum for those that don't understand Austrian wine - if you are willing, try with an open mind and you will be pleasantly surprised! |

1996 Château Rayas Côtes du Rhône Blanc Château de Fonsalette ReserveWhite Rhone Blend more |
5/11/2011 - txakolina wrote: 91 pointsDark golden, very high acidity especially for the age/grape of the wine! Notes of lemon, fennel, herbal, floral and a long juicy finish. Slightly oxidized due to poor storage conditions but the grenache has held up better than expected. Very impressed - good example of aged top quality (producer) southern Rhone. |
