2007 Querciabella Chianti ClassicoChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
2/24/2024 - jgh123 Likes this wine: 92 pointsHad with Bucatini and Bolonese sauce. Dark fruit and fig on the nose. Beautifully balanced - rich and delicious. I bought this in 2010 and have kept in in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar. I'm a little surprised it showed this well. I have 3 more bottles that I hope will last a few more years but there's no reason to wait. |

1989 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
2/9/2024 - jgh123 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis bottle had an unusual minty nose. Spice also on the nose. Rich and lingering but without some of the complexity that earlier bottles showed. Nevertheless, it was very enjoyable with roast pheasant! If you have this wine drink it now while it's still holding on... |

1970 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/27/2024 - jgh123 Likes this wine: 96 pointsMuch better than the last bottle. Great fill and only a small amount of sediment. Balanced and great complexity. Had alongside a bottle of '59 Latour. I liked the '59 better, but this was still terrific! |

1959 Château Latour Grand VinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/28/2024 - jgh123 Likes this wine: 99 pointsStunning! Great color & fill; minimal sediment. Rich, balanced & lingering. Had alongside a '70 Latour. The '70 was perhaps a little more complex, but didn't quite match the elegance and depth of the '59. |
