2018 Château La Croix du CassePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/3/2024 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 96 pointsDunno what the last reviewier was drinking (or smoking)! But this is all stewed black fruit wrapped in dusty cocoa and black pepper. Flowers, if any, would be violets. A full bodied red and classic expression of Pomerol. Double the enjoyment of this, would be Petrus. At possibly 25x the price. |

2016 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Trois SourcesRed Rhone Blend more |
2/12/2024 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 89 pointsI struggled a bit with this one as the primary aromas were lacking and I was distracted by lasagne and a dinner party. Going by the comments above ,this wine requires deep concentration and deep conversation. Is it worth it? A 2nd or 3rd growth would have been equally forthcoming at similar quality. |

2017 Elio Sandri Barolo Riserva PernoNebbiolo more |
2/4/2024 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is not a blockbuster barolo. Somewhat diluted. But all the primary and tertiary flavours are there with a nice balance. I enjoyed the farm and bramble notes and definitely roast lamb and goat's cheese with rosemary will love this wine! |

2005 Bodegas Vinícola Real Rioja 200 Monges Gran ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
11/24/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 95 pointsDespite its age bright red cherries and raspberries on the nose. Medium - body and high acid makes this an easy going one. But it is still a powerhouse. I'm amazed at the finish and how integrated the tannins are. Lower on complexity scale but that's ok for the price. |

2014 Château de la DauphineFronsac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/24/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: NRA reddish brown and mature fruit on the nose ... The oak seems well integrated and coconut can now be detected through the nose too. Even a bit of teak. The tannin was harsh so I left to to decant and aerate a while. No big bold black new world fruit here. A slatey and medium plus acid I'm the mouth. Some awkwardness still and lacking an oomphy finish. But this is what you get for the price |

2018 Domaine Florent Garaudet Monthélie 1er Cru Les RiottesPinot Noir more |
9/18/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 92 pointsA classic Bourgogne rouge premier cru. Full of red fruit and acid. Had it with a rare roast rib eye, excellent. Don't expect too long a finish though |

2016 Chris Ringland Shiraz ReservationBarossa Valley more |

2016 M. Chapoutier Cornas Collection BioSyrah more |
8/19/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 90 pointsBalanced syrah with finesse. Too much Aussie Shiraz recently so I appreciated this. A nice mineral undertone.but finish and complexity is lacking. Though it befits the price. |

2020 Clos I Terrasses Priorat LaurelGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
7/20/2023 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 90 pointsHad no expectations and was pleasantly surprised .it was balanced. Had good dark fruit and a luscious mouth feel. The oak and wood tannins were well integrated. I will give this another 5 years to build complexity |

2020 Yvon Métras Fleurie Le PrintempsGamay more |
7/9/2023 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 90 pointsJuicy and red fruity on both nose and palate. I would have liked it a little bit more concentrated but cannot complain about its sutleness and finesse. Great hints of shitake and soya sauce with fresh bramble. Eucalyptus is coming through after some aeration as well. It will be fantastic with stir fries and simple western stews. |

2014 Delas Frères Hermitage Domaine des TourettesSyrah more |
6/18/2023 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 90 pointsDrinking well with good balance of red fruit, roses and acidity. Not terribly complex but decent finish. Pay a premium for the word "hermitage". So I think look for value elsewhere |

2009 Elio Altare Barolo BrunateNebbiolo more |
4/9/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 93 pointsThat combination of tannin, wood, red fruit and acids. Sublimely powerful. But lacks finesse and elegance. Keep another 10 years |

2008 Antinori TignanelloToscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend more |
3/22/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 95 pointsSubtle, sublime and delicious. The fine tannins give it a nice texture. Roses are hiding somewhere beneath |

2012 Domaine des Roches Neuves Saumur Clos RomansChenin Blanc more |
3/4/2023 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 89 pointsThis is chenin blanc in a dry style and this is exactly what you will get. Those used to international varieties may baulk. But I enjoyed a bit of the white bean and oiliness (fraction of viognier price) flavours. |

2014 Domaine de Montbourgeau L'Etoile Cuvée SpécialeChardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
1/1/2023 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 90 pointsBalanced minerality with the perfumed oxidised flavours. A decent baked apple pie finish.I would go with smoked almonds and manchego cheese (rosemary infused perhaps) |

2016 Biscardo Amarone della Valpolicella ClassicoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/6/2022 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 90 pointsTobacco, spice and bramble on the nose with secondary fruit flavours on the palate. Medium plus acidity with a decent finish. This is old world wine through and through. It will go perfect with red meat stews. But i personally would go for new world with an electic cheese board |

2017 Château Pavie MacquinSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/10/2022 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 95 pointsA classic SE grand cru classe expression. Full of jammy blackberry goodness and violets. Concentrated, vibrant and long lasting finish. I expect complexity to come in 2030. |

2014 Jean-Claude Boisset Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
9/12/2022 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 90 pointsGreat value and has classic features of a quality burg. Red fruit all the way with balance and food friendly acidity. Not complex or concentrated enough to elevate to greatness |

2016 Jean-Claude Boisset Nuits St. Georges Coteaux du BoisPinot Noir more |
7/30/2022 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 88 pointsPromising on the nose with the right ripe red fruits but palate wise was a let down. I thought a bit more bramble and spice would be better. Slightly diluted too. But otherwise the balance of acidity was there. Easy drinking with a pizza dinner |

2017 Voyager Estate ChardonnayMargaret River more |
12/14/2021 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 89 pointsWhile I can't say I disagree with the aroma noted in preceding comments, I find the toast, oak and vanilla slightly over powering! Not sure if 5 more years is the cellar would solve that problem |

2014 Baron de Ley Rioja Gran ReservaTempranillo more |
10/24/2021 - Vitisconcierge Likes this wine: 90 pointsA classic gran reserva underpinned by bracing acidity. Lovely violets and dried roses on the nose and retronasal. Cloves, cinnamon and sweet red pepper. Medium body and has a somewhat ethereal feel. Great with all red meat stews |

2014 Château La Croix du CassePomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/10/2021 - Vitisconcierge wrote: 87 pointsThe initial nose was deep and inviting with nice layers of stewed red fruit, bramble and barnyard. However in the palate, the fruit couldn't hold its own. The acidity shone but just made the wine somewhat awkward. Chocolate notes on the finish was nice though. Not value for money |
