2022 Château La Nerthe Côtes du Rhône Les Cassagnes de la Nerthe BlancWhite Rhone Blend more |
2/3/2024 - VinToronto wrote: 90 pointsStone fruit and honey on the nose and a complex palate shot through with almond, honey, lemon pith and baking spice. Surprisingly creamy and mouthfilling with nice length on the finish. |

1/29/2022 - VinToronto wrote: 86 pointsDrank over four nights, but consumed very little the first two because of overwhelming vanilla oak. Fruit emerged night three but leaned toward the pruny, overripe black plum end of the spectrum. |

2015 Little Wings Syrah AntleChalone more |
2/21/2021 - VinToronto wrote: 91 pointsPleasant shtank on the nose, which blew off after 30 minutes or so to reveal a high-toned syrah in an old-world style. Loads of dark fruit without veering into the jammy end of the spectrum. Nicely done, and I think this will hold for a few years at least. |

1/17/2021 - VinToronto wrote: NRNot hugely complex, but a nice entry level Burg with cran-cherry fruit, a touch of smoke and food-friendly acids. May develop a bit more in bottle but I’d drink by 2025. |

2016 Vins Nus Siuralta AnticMontsant Carignan Blend, Carignan more |
10/13/2020 - VinToronto wrote: 89 pointsJuicy and crunchy with a nice earthiness from the whole clusters but ultimately the clipped finish makes this a decent food wine but not worth the C$52 tariff in the Ontario market. |

10/15/2019 - VinToronto wrote: 91 pointsOrange garnet to the rim, with soft strawberry fruit and nearly-resolved tannins, this is still in a good spot but it's time to drink up. It's sliding gracefully towards orange pekoe tea. |

2/26/2017 - VinToronto wrote: 92 pointsSlow-ox'd for 3 hours, consumed over the next four. This got better as the night went on, leading me to believe it's got years of life left. Lovely tobacco, earth and floral aromatics gliding over a deep core of cherry fruit. A hint of menthol and nice fresh lift at the end kept me coming back for another sip. Like some others have stated, this would put a lot of pricier bottles to shame. |

2010 Five Rows Pinot Noir Lowrey VineyardsSt. David's Bench VQA more |
4/24/2016 - VinToronto wrote: 92 pointsA lovely bottle. Pure, earthy 'cool blue fruit' on the palate with fine grained tannins and long, long finish. Definitely one of the better Ontario pinots I've had, but even so not sure it's worth the $75 we paid at the winery. At that price point, a lot of very good Burgs start coming into play. |

1999 Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru Clos du Cellier Aux MoinesPinot Noir more |
2/12/2016 - VinToronto wrote: 84 pointsPurchased recently, I was tempted by the label sporting a great vintage but unknown producer and vineyard (at least to me). Sometimes these random old Burgs can be mind-blowimg but this one was mediocre at best. Concord grapey, with a high-toned bubblegum note and no perceptible tannins. Chalking this one up to experience. |

1996 Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons FaiveleyCorton Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
2/6/2016 - VinToronto wrote: 92 pointsStill so young, with a burly tannic structure I've not often seen in 20 year old burgs. Cranberry, black cherry, and earth on the palate with virtually no indication of secondary, let alone tertiary, characteristics at this point. Very good now, but if you like your burgs barnyardy, hold this for at least another five. |

2000 Château PipeauSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/30/2016 - VinToronto wrote: 91 pointsIn a really nice spot now and much improved over my last bottle a few years ago. Garnet with a slightly orange rim, showing plenty of plummy dark red fruit and a tannic rasp suggesting at least five more years of life. |

1999 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er CruPinot Noir more |
11/20/2010 - VinToronto wrote: 86 pointsSecond bottle of six purchased. The first was lovely, a fading Burgundian beauty that still had all the barnyard, dark cherry fruit, zing of acidity and soft tannins that make us all fans. The second bottle had the barnyard and acid, but the fruit was battling with a whiff of TCA. So bottle variances may account for the disparate experiences from other CT users so far. I have four left, and plan to keep and open them in hopes they return to the experience of bottle #1. |

2007 Cantine Pellegrino Passito di Pantelleria LiquorosoZibibbo, Muscat more |
11/29/2009 - VinToronto wrote: 89 pointsYellow-gold color, immediate nose of orange marmalade & apricot. Not as hypersweet as most ice wines, so the lower acidity was enough to keep it (barely) in balance. Perfect with a chocolate cake & brownies after a good meal. Good value for the money. |

6/22/2009 - VinToronto wrote: 91 pointsDistinctive aged red-brown colouration with notes of dusty old oak on the nose. Also floral notes of rose petal and dried fruit, confirmed on the palate. Flavours of game & leather & prunes and wonderfully integrated tannins on the finish. Nice. |
