2003 Château Sociando-MalletHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/25/2024 - Doc90 Likes this wine: 93 pointsBeautiful- immediately identifiable as Bordeaux. Deep and gem-like. Makes me think of French perfume, unripe crunchy plums, and emotional butterflies. Wistful smoke, but not dominated by it. This kind of stuff is my jam. |

5/25/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 86 pointsHmm. Clearly a well-made wine, but I struggle connecting with it. Weird chocolate syrup and whiskey notes. Excellent acidity, tannins, and flow. Pleasant coffee notes up front, but then they morph into the dregs of a bottle of Bailey's. Withholding. Some liked it, but I was underwhelmed. Don't know what to think about this. |

2015 Sojourn Pinot Noir Rodgers Creek Vineyard Sonoma Coastmore |
5/18/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 90 pointsSignificant oak I'm getting here on the nose. Blackberries and cream adequately summarizes the theme here. Fruit-forward, spicy raspberry palate. Paired wonderfully with ratatouille. |

2004 d'Arenberg Shiraz The Dead ArmMcLaren Vale more |
5/10/2024 - Doc90 Likes this wine: 93 pointsTasted triple blind. Power-packed, mature, and complex. Encompassing fruit that would be hard for any palate to dislike. Excellent acidity and a long, timeless finish. No idea what this is but it's classy. |

2008 Williams Selyem Chardonnay Allen VineyardRussian River Valley more |
5/10/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 91 pointsSoft but colorful nose of honeydew melon, mango, and vanilla. Oaky Chardonnay, well-integrated but also reserved in personality. Delicate in flavor but it shows a nice rounded body. Stone emerges from caramel-flavored oak. |

2010 Giuseppe Quintarelli Cà del Merlo Veneto IGTCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
4/6/2024 - Doc90 Likes this wine: 95 pointsTasted triple blind. Immediately charming, violet top aromas with suggestions of tea tree and molasses. As it opens, it expresses a lovely coffee shop nose that establishes impressive oak integration. Dynamic mocha latte coziness on the palate, sleek and sexy. Recollective maturity that demands respect even amongst younger, more brawny wines. My WOTN. |

2007 Villa Matilde TaurasiTaurasi DOCG Aglianico more |
4/3/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 89 pointsWell this is definitely a stern, dry Aglianico. I thought it would be in a perfect spot now, but I wonder if the fruit would have been fresher a few years ago. It's hard for me to judge when an Aglianico reaches apogee. Still, there's a gritty earthiness here that is primal and interesting. |

4/1/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 91 pointsBeautiful nose with top aromas of white flowers and a deep core of cherry cola and poppyseed. Light in weight but still maintaining a stern tannic structure. Racy acidity accents cherry fruit and rosewater. Drink now. |

1990 Château Le CrockSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/9/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 90 pointsQuite woody and damp on the nose, with spiced red fruit. Mature, comes across as a tad tired. Nice harmony and structure. Drink up. |

3/2/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 83 pointsChocolate and loam on the nose. Stern and dry and uptight. Blueberry primary flavors are overwhelmed by dry gravel. |

2011 Foradori GranatoVigneti delle Dolomiti IGT Teroldego more |
1/26/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 91 pointsTasted triple blind. Distinguished nose with aged balsamic, ink, and mashed cherries. Saturating palate, notes of balsamic and fresh lemonade that intensify on the finish. I rarely say this, but the acidity is actually a little out of hand here. I'm in Italy here, likely Tuscany. |

1/18/2024 - Doc90 wrote: 88 pointsFunky nose of worn boots, reduced strawberries, and mud. Light in body and spirit, and lacks vigor. Still, there's charming spice that is most apparent in the first glass. I hate to say it because I love these, but I believe this is at a terminal stage. |
