2006 Casali di Bibbiano Argante Toscana IGT
9/27/2022 - wineracquet Likes this wine: 91 Points
This bottle showed very well. Almost no air needed. Dried dark fruit, good balance of tannins and acidity. nice long dry finish. A perfect match with grilled steak. Wish I had more! Somewhat of an unsung hero of the fantastic 2006 vintage.

2017 Ego Bodegas Jumilla Goru Gold
4/27/2022 - wineracquet Does not like this wine: 83 Points
I've enjoyed 2 other Jumilla Ego wines in the past; The Infiito was excellent, The 18M quite good, but The Gold isn't near the quality of the previous two. On the plus side, it has decent structure and complexity. On the minus side, at this point in time, it's too fruity sweet and it has an odd off putting taste. It tastes to me like the 3 different varieties' percentages make for the odd taste. I generally respect WS reviews more than most and have sometimes been surprised in the past, that with more bottle age, some seemingly overscored wines do come close to measuring up to their reviews. Who knows with The Gold?

2019 Sleeper Rosé
6/10/2021 - wineracquet Does not like this wine: 60 Points
The Sleeper Rose represents everything I used to dislike about rose wine until I wound up tasting some beautifully dry roses and realized all roses are not soft, sweet, and flabby. Unfortunately, the Sleeper Rose IS soft, sweet and flabby. Some Sleeper cabernets are very good qpr wines but their 2019 rose has no redeeming qualities unless you're into wine coolers!
