2017 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly
2/25/2022 - jpwineguy Likes this wine: 91 Points
Beautiful pale ruby color. Very pretty nose - violette, floral pastille, raspberry sorbet, lemon pith, hint of mushroom and loam. Scintillating acidity and minerality on the palate, matching tasting notes on the nose. Medium alcohol, medium body, low tannin and long finish. Eminently quaffable. Really nice pairing with just some simple frommage blanc from Nicasio Valley Creamery.

2019 Tyrrell's Sémillon

Lovely example of Hunter Valley Semillon. Bone dry, flinty with moderate aromatic intensity, it sort of reminded me a bit of Sancerre. Excellent mineral character and nice length, very good qpr.

2013 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino
11/22/2021 - jpwineguy Likes this wine: 92 Points
Very elegant and delicate - aromas of red cherry, plum, currant, tomato leaf, liquorice, clove and a hint of cedar. Medium bordering on medium plus acid with soft, medium tannin and medium body. Similar notes on the palate, with good but not excellent length. Overall a very enjoyable not overly robust wine that went well with the dinner we picked up from a small Italian restaurant near us. I wouldn't age this much further as neither the tannin nor acid felt bold enough to keep the wine from falling flat in a few years. It felt fresh, but my mouth wasn't really watering after a sip. Drink up.
