2022 Turley Zinfandel Dragon VineyardHowell Mountain more |
4/18/2024 - buckeye76 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep purple color. Very, very young wine but did settle down a bit through our meal. Lots of deep red fruit in the nose and flavor, raspberries, cherries and spice. It was interesting to try a young Turley Zin, normally 8-10 years is best, but found this in a deli restaurant and it went well with the corned beef sandwich and knish. Very fruity at this age, full bodied and a long finish. I'd wait until 2030 to open out of the cellar but still quite tasty. Will definitely warrant a higher score in the future. |

1996 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/13/2024 - buckeye76 wrote: flawedThe biggest disappointment of the night was clearly a counterfeit version of 1996 Mouton Rothschild which was purchased in the aftermarket well after release. Past the slightly stained label and soft Mouton cork was a suspiciously good fill. The most obvious clue was the lack of any sediment in the bottle when decanting though it did have an earthy Bordeaux nose. However, when poured there was zero resemblance to a Mouton Rothschild. The wine was poured down the drain and replaced with a 2008 Kapcsandy Grand Vin and a 2007 Bryant Family both of which were excellent. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (3) |
