2/9/2013 - Cloverstudio Likes this wine: 91 pointsFireworks. Delicious leather, tar, earth, cigar box. Not just another forgettable bottle. This wine makes you stop and go wow. It is not polished, however. Very enjoyable nonetheless. |

1/27/2013 - Cloverstudio Does not like this wine: 82 pointsDrinkable in that it is well made, but nothing stands out and makes me go YUM. |

2007 Kingsford Manor Cabernet Sauvignon ReserveNapa Valley more |
8/15/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 87 pointsClassic California cab. Very solid. Not over the top. A good balance of fruit, tannin, and oak. Great value. |

2001 Ridge Monte BelloSanta Cruz Mountains Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/3/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 94 pointsOutstanding bottle at what seems like the beginning of its stride. Mature enough, but some slightly firm tannins giving it a backbone. Ready to drink, but certainly no rush. |

2006 Settevie Barolo "7"Nebbiolo more |
4/7/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 86 pointsNot giving up much in the nose, but in the mouth, it has a very nice flavor profile with good structure. It won't last 30 years, but today, this is a solid Barolo for a reasonable amount of money. I like this wine. |

2006 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Nuits St. GeorgesPinot Noir more |
4/6/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 85 pointsVery good, but nothing special. Would probably benefit from another year or two of cellaring to better integrate the tannins. |

2003 Michel & Stéphane Ogier Côte-RôtieSyrah more |
4/5/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 91 pointsStarted off smooth with a nice floral nose, but nothing too exciting going on in the mouth. After about 90 minutes, it developed enough complexity to be very impressive. |

4/1/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 88 pointsAwesome nose on the first glass with an approachable taste. Nice and round. I thought it would improve, but it didn't. Over time the wine became less interesting. |

2004 Montevetrano Montevetrano Colli di Salerno IGTRed Blend more |
3/4/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 90 pointsAn interesting, well made wine. Popped and poured. Seemed to improve over the course of an hour of drinking. It didn't blow me away, but excellent just the same. |

2003 Les Vins de Vienne Côte-Rôtie Les EssartaillesSyrah more |
1/18/2012 - Cloverstudio wrote: 87 pointsNice nose, but thin in the mouth for a northern Rhone. Did not really improve over 3 hours. |

2003 Château d'ArmailhacPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/10/2011 - Cloverstudio wrote: 87 pointsNice wine, but nothing special. Has the smell and taste of old oak. There are tannins present, but the body is medium light, causing me to wonder where this wine is going. |
