2015 Château Bellegrave (Pauillac) Chevaliers De Dauprat
4/22/2024 - pinoteer Likes this wine: 91 Points
Decanted for one hour. WOW! Perfect blend of acidity and tannins, with lively fruit (mostly red fruit initially) and some tertiary flavors. This is comparable to Pauillac's costing twice as much. Only 13.5 ABV, too. So good now, but can keep for another 5-8 years. Easily 90 points, but a pleasure score of 92. Great QPR.

2012 Castello Banfi Brunello di Montalcino
4/21/2024 - pinoteer Likes this wine: 90 Points
Decanted one hour. Some tawny color intruding on the light red fruit color. Rich, almost baked, cherries, wet saddle, and wood notes. Tannins are quite smooth, with nice acidity. Medium-length finish. Doesn't compare to the '13 Argiano that we had the other night, but a decent BdM nonetheless.

2013 Argiano Brunello di Montalcino
4/17/2024 - pinoteer Likes this wine: 91 Points
Decanted only a short time (1 hr.). Loads of sweet red fruits (cherries, raspberries, strawberries), vanilla, and milk chocolate. Soft tannins and punchy acidity. Great by itself, but I'm guessing great with food, too (braised lamb shanks over pasta, later).
