2014 Michel Rolland Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley more

4/20/2024 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 95 points

PNP through an aerator. Huge, big and bold. One of the most intense cabs we have had in a while. Spouse loved it, seemed a bit too much for me. Still lots of fruit, corners are rounding off. Will try again in a few years.

2022 Enclos de Viaud

Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc more

2/19/2024 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 91 points

Clear, with a light yellow tint. Initial nose was like juicy fruit gum with a slight hint of rubber. As it warmed, multiple floral notes emerged.

Grapefruit, chalk and steel on the palate. Although a dry Bordeaux, there is a nice hint of sweetness. Well developed acidity. Very enjoyable and refreshing

Super complex. Deep flavor, and yet still some fruit notes. Replaced a vintage port with this PX and was not disappointed. Shared WON with a 2009 Y’quem

2013 Château Tour Saint-Christophe

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/14/2023 - MrSkimo wrote: 89 points

We made a mistake and drank this right after a Napa fruit bomb. The difference was stark.

At first I didnt like it. The nose was burnt hair/burnt popcorn. The palate was much better with some red fruit and some secondary essence. I had an inspiration and tried it with some Parmigiano-Reggiano. Amazing pairing. It sweetened up the wine and brought out lots of primary fruit flavor. The nose showed some red fruit as well.

I do like it, but I agree with an 89 score. Not my favorite from the winery.

2017 Liparita Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak - Napa Valley Atlas Peak

more

4/14/2023 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 90 points

Blueberry and overripe raspberries on the nose. Really nice bouquet. Mostly primary notes on the palate. The oak is mellowing from years prior as well. Red and black fruits on the palate, bit of graphite. Still very young - fruit forward. Tannins and acid are plentiful. Will try again in two years.

2017 Pio Cesare Barolo Pio

Nebbiolo more

3/28/2023 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 92 points

Medium garnet color - Wildflower, cedar and asphalt (not a terrible overwhelming smell) on the nose. Really opened up after 45 minutes with a nice perfume.

Cedar, medium height tannins, but not overwhelming acidity. Red fruit, raspberry and cherry, and gravel. Long legs - 14.5 abv.

Long finish - minute plus.

Wife felt it was at least a 94.

2013 MastroJanni Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino

Sangiovese more

3/26/2023 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 92 points

Drank at the vineyard restaurant.

PNP. Nice refined bottle. Significant bricking on the edges with a brown tint showing it’s age. The aroma really started to open after 30 minutes with vigorous swirling. Heady black truffle, forest floor, raspberry and cedar on the nose.

Lovely Brunello balsamic notes, good acidity and smoothing tannins. Red and black fruit on the palate. Looonnng finish. Paired nicely with a grilled duck salad.

Really enjoyed this wine and was set up to hate it. Drank with a zucchini carrot cake (savory) with tzatziki sauce and an angus burger.

Fantastic nose. - earthy and fruity. Almost a truffle essence. Still really good acidity and fruit. It is a little thin, but still good structure. Might have scored it higher. Finish was quite long

Lemon and papaya, honeydew on the nose. Tart green apples, lemon on the palate. Taste is a little one dimensional. Tart and a little bitter aftertaste.

Great bottle. Not nearly as fruity as the 2006. More like an old world cab. Definitely felt like a drier vintage. Looking forward to additional bottles
