2015 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Rosso di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

6/15/2018 - rietpetiet Does not like this wine: 84 points

When I opened the bottle it tasted sour and I thought it was flawed.i opened up a second bottle and that one looked, smelled and tasted exactly the same.

Pale red, thin but earthy, Pinot noir like nose. Quite acidic , and some tannins. Not balanced. After some decanting it was better but I never got to the point where I liked this wine.

Dark ruby, powerful aroma. Medium to full bodied. Dry with strong but smooth tannins. Good balance. Medium to long finish. I really like this wine.

2014 Oblivion Cellars Zinfandel

Central Coast more

Color is somewhat low intensity medium red. Has some legs.
Nose was confusing, a bit of fruit, smoke and pepper, not particularly pleasant. Hot.
Took a sip after opening the bottle and found acidity was (too) predominant. Gets better over time but stays a factor. Needs food to balance out.
Mid palate I noticed some tannins but finish was weak.
OK wine, but not great.

Yellow color, not sweet but rather dry to my taste. Has some tartness or bitterness which makes it pair with food OK. Not terrific but not bad too.

thin purple/red color. Nose bit earthy. Palate rather hot and bitter. Initially not very nice. I poured it with the aerator but I have a feeling that it might improve a bit once the wine has breathed more (dunno for sure)

This is not a good wine. The palate is extremely dull and it basically tastes and smells like nothing. It's not that the eine wine is flawed, it's just that it is really no fun at all to drink this wine.

the rest will go down the toilet.

The color is not very dark, a bit light actually. A lot of taste and tannins but not hot at all. Quite smooth and very nice indeed. I combined it with a quit spicey pizza and it was an excellent match.
