2012 Saxum James Berry VineyardPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
11/11/2017 - christianmgriffin Does not like this wine: 87 pointsSomething was off,must have been the bottle and how it was stored. Had an almost spritzy feel to it. Could tell it was complex beneath that but was almost undrinkable. Disappointing, and not just because of what was spent on the bottle.... 1 person found this helpful, do you?

10/27/2017 - christianmgriffin Likes this wine: 90 pointsNot as good or complex as their more premium wines but still of the usual high quality of Emilio Moro and of course, good bang for your buck. |

2011 Bodegas Emilio Moro Ribera del Duero Malleolus de ValderramiroTempranillo more |
9/16/2017 - christianmgriffin Likes this wine: 94 pointsBig, massive notes of blackberries, dark wood, hints of vanilla. Very typical big Ribera, in a very good way. |

2009 Domaine Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru La FussièrePinot Noir more |
9/2/2017 - christianmgriffin Does not like this wine: 83 pointsSurprisingly acidic and quite undrinkable as a sipping wine. With fatty food to cut the acid, it was okay. Rare to encounter a Burgundy with that profile. |

2008 Vincent Bachelet Pommard Les ChanlinsPinot Noir more |
8/5/2017 - christianmgriffin Likes this wine: 90 pointsOn the nose it smells like a typical, solid Burgundy, on the palate it's exactly like that as well. I tend to not drink pinots if they're not a burgundy simply because their staple is so consistent. This falls middle of the range in Burgundy. |

2008 Tablas Creek Esprit de BeaucastelPaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
7/29/2017 - christianmgriffin wrote: 89 pointsI tend to agree with a lot of the reviews I'm seeing here, it lacks body, spice, something...it's very potent and heavy while again lacking structure so a bit odd. I got this at the vineyard and at the tasting feel like I remember the 09' was more complex, to be seen... |

2008 Château GiscoursMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/29/2017 - christianmgriffin Likes this wine: 91 pointsImpressively big for only 12% alcohol content. Smooth and velvety. Definitely in its window. I had it after just an hour open which was fine, ideally give it 2-4h I'd say. |

2011 Riecine La Gioia Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
7/15/2017 - christianmgriffin wrote: 87 pointsVery acidic. Not a massive body so I don't see this thing developing much further. Would be very difficult to drink without food. |

2008 de Trafford Elevation 393Stellenbosch Red Blend more |
7/12/2017 - christianmgriffin Likes this wine: 94 pointsVery ready for consumption. Give it around 30 minutes to breath. I've been drinking De Trafford Elevation for years and it remains one of my favorite SA wines. I've had the 06' and 07' before, first time on an 08' which I found much more elegant than the two previous years. |

2006 Turley Petite Syrah Hayne VineyardSt. Helena Petite Sirah more |
7/10/2017 - christianmgriffin wrote: 96 pointsMassive, heavy crème de cassis, blueberries, raspberries, charcoal, tobacco, some light chocolate. Heavy on the palate but elegant at the same time. Could easily rest another 10 years but can be enjoyed now |
