2018 Vina Robles The Arborist
1/7/2021 - Ncjordan Likes this wine: 90 Points
Tasty, balanced, plush fruit forward in the mouth, oak baking spice forward on the nose, tastes great! Acid in balance with tannin and fruit.

2006 Prunotto Monferrato Rosso Mompertone
11/13/2020 - Ncjordan Likes this wine: 90 Points
This wine is going strong and developing nicely. It has clearly improved in its drinkability compared to previous notes, coming into a good drinking window now. It shows some fiery acidity, and some elevated alcohol, but is balanced by the ripeness of the fruit and the tannic depth of the grapes. The wine displays a welcoming nose of dark ripe red fruits, earth elements, and wood. In the mouth it provides a powerful punch. It is not yet as mellow and smooth as it smells. It is a welcome find on the store shelf 14 years after the vintage! Could go on to improve...

2011 Château Henri Bonnaud Palette Rouge
6/14/2019 - Ncjordan wrote: flawed
BAsed on the generally consistent positive reviews on this wine, I conclude that this bottle was horribly flawed. There is a persistent Bizarre aroma coming from the glass. It smells uncannily exactly like cat shit. Atbfirstminthlught maybe some weird native local grape varietals cofermenting and making an out-there southern French wine from a small appellation, but it’s Pretty Unmistakeable and foul. I’m curious as to what the compound or flaw in this bottle could be? If anyone knows, please do share in the comments ��
