2016 Château Grand TayacMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/13/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 88 pointsPleasant and drinkable with bright cherry flavor and a bit of flint, but tasting more watery now. I don't think this has much room to improve. It won't offend. |

2016 Domaine Paul Croses Mâcon-UchizyChardonnay more |
5/12/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 90 pointsStill very fresh and young. Could last longer. Plenty of fruit and acidity. Pineapple, mango, and stones. Perfect with seared scallops and risotto. |

2015 Ca‘ Rozzeria Barolo Tre ComuniNebbiolo more |
5/10/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 91 pointsHour decant. Tannins integrated but still drying on the finish. Bright, sweet cherry and blackberry on the palate. Lovely roses, more cherry and some tobacco on the nose, with a bit of oak and barnyard funk in the background. Medium body and great with food (Lou Malnati's Chicago pizza). Still has room to grow. Wait a couple years for the next bottle. |

2016 Château FonréaudListrac-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/5/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 89 pointsSo much medicinal cherry flavor. Very enjoyable with some age. Not enough depth to the fruit to recommend holding much longer. Would be pleased anytime to find this kind of rich, rounded flavor and balance in a wine at this price. Great value. |

2014 Porter Creek Pinot Noir Old Vine Hillside VineyardRussian River Valley more |
4/27/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 94 pointsLovely. Silky smooth tannins. Great balance of flavor and acidity. Classic Russian River flavors with a slight sour note that adds to the experience. Still primary but probably doesn't have the depth to age much longer. Might keep one bottle a few more years to see how it holds up. |

2011 Château GaudinPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/14/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 92 pointsIn a great place right now. Could wait a bit longer, but not much reason to do so. Classic Pauillac flavor profile with the old world depth that always brings me back. Amazing QPR. Full fruit and delicate tannins. Perfect with grilled grass fed ribeye. |

2013 Ca‘ Rozzeria Barolo Tre ComuniNebbiolo more |
4/12/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 88 pointsStill needs some air to open up, but not enough fruit for the acidity and tannins. Not very good, especially for Barolo. Can get a little nose of nebbiolo. Then it gets covered up by a very rough palate. |

2009 Château GuiraudSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
3/31/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 89 pointsClassic Sauternes flavors but a little flat. Not showing any age yet, which I think will help it down the road. Plenty of fruit and acid to last, even from a 375. |

2010 Paul Jaboulet Aîné HermitageSyrah more |
3/30/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 91 pointsWas a little disappointed in the bottle. Great flavors and no rough edges but it lacked depth. Needed more to stand up to the grilled leg of lamb. Will wait some on the others to see if more interesting flavors develop. |

2016 Chapter 24 Vineyards Pinot Noir Fire and Flood The FireDundee Hills more |
3/23/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 89 pointsVery interesting. I would have pegged this as a Syrah if I didn't know it was Pinot. Meaty and peppery flavors. Very carnal but did not showcase the finer flavors Pinot can provide. |

2016 Copain Pinot Noir Maggy HawkAnderson Valley more |
3/24/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 92 pointsAmazing nose. Earthy and intoxicating. Unfortunately the palate was a little thin. Would have been fantastic if the taste has lived up to the smell. Still very good. My favorite in the blind tasting with some other excellent Pinot Noir. |

2016 Château de Chamirey Mercurey 1er Cru Clos du RoiPinot Noir more |
3/25/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 93 pointsPlaced first in our blind tasting with some similar bottles from Oregon and California. Some funk at first with an hour decant but blew off by hour two. Strong red fruit. Should get better with time. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2008 Bethel Heights Pinot Noir Flat BlockEola - Amity Hills more |
3/22/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 93 pointsStill excellent. Stored in cellar since release. Nose of blackberries, raspberries, flowers and oak. Some leather and earth and sweet tarts. No tannins left. Some salinity. Smooth long finish. Wish it had more aged flavors, but no reason to hold longer. |

2018 Briamara Erbaluce di Caluso Bric d'La Gesiamore |
3/15/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 92 pointsRemarkably deep and complex. Sweet and salty, with great acidity to balance it out. Really impressive for the price. |

2010 Ca‘ Rozzeria Barolo Tre ComuniNebbiolo more |
2/24/2024 - Bradley Love Likes this wine: 92 pointsAgree with the recent notes. This is in a great spot now. It has really improved over the last five years. Drink it if you've got it. Fruit, acidity and secondary flavors are in perfect balance. 40 minute decant. Perfect match for venison and porcini sauce. |

2012 Elena Fucci Aglianico del Vulture Titolomore |
2/10/2024 - Bradley Love wrote: 93 pointsIn a great place. Some age, but amazing ripe red and black fruit that coats the whole palate. Tannins are soft and complementary. Leather and sweet tobacco nose. Cassis and cherry fruit on the palate. Very sad that this is the last bottle. |

2015 Andrea Oberto BaroloNebbiolo more |
10/28/2023 - Bradley Love Likes this wine: 91 pointsAgree that this is in it's prime right now. No rough edges. Still plenty of sweet cherry fruit, but getting some leather and tobacco notes to compliment it. Light for a Barolo but very enjoyable. |

2004 Duckhorn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
8/6/2023 - Bradley Love wrote: 96 pointsDecanted two hours. Perfect with grilled ribeye. At peak now. Sweet fruit. Hardly any tannins. Some secondary flavors to give complexity, and perfect balance. Still deep purple. Lovely, gentle Cabernet flavor. |

1993 Pertinace (Cantina Vignaioli) Barbaresco Vigneto NervoNebbiolo more |
5/29/2023 - Bradley Love wrote: 94 pointsWow. 45 min. decant. So much freshness combined with incredible depth. This is what aged nebbiolo is all about. Roses and cherries mixed with horse saddle and even some deeper barnyard funk in the best way possible. Tannins melt in your mouth and the finish goes on forever. What old wine should be. |
