9/28/2020 - gteran76 wrote: 90 pointsI saved this wine for a future birthday dinner that occurred 2 days ago and I was expecting wayyy more for this wine. The body is medium plus, super high in acidity and lacking harmony between oak fruit and tannin. |

7/26/2020 - dsimmons Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank with wine group. My second favorite of the evening. Bold fruit. Integrated and balanced. Sorry I don't have more of this. My last of 9 bottles. Drink or hold. |

7/14/2019 - rocknroller wrote: 96 pointsLight gold color. Opened this for our 35th Anniversary. Split bottle over 3 hours plus. Beautiful and seamless; wonderfully toasted, brioche, pear and fine lemons, creamy mousse, roasted nuts, lightly chalky minerality. Quite elegant and a long finish. My wife always being more generous, scored this a point or two higher. I wil not be arguing with her. A great bottle on a special day. 96-K, 98-V.

The nose shows a touch of sulphur, but the palate is incredibly rich and broad, with great intensity. However, the back end is where this wine suffers a bit, showing tons of acid and sourness on the finish.

6/24/2018 - dougie Likes this wine: 94 pointsAmazing. Decanted for an hour and drank over 4. At the end, not big. But it’s a fine line to get there. And, this is a great big Pinot! Two more years for the last one sounds good..

1/17/2018 - acyso wrote: 83 pointsFlickinger Tasting at The Casino (Chicago, IL): I love this estate, but this version of the wine is but a weedy wreck. It's thin and emaciated, with just a whole lot of acid and tannin. The finish has an unpleasant drying sensation. Where happened here? There's only upside to aging this, because it's pretty bad right now.

2014 Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon EstateSanta Cruz Mountains more |
11/11/2017 - Eric Guido wrote: 88 pointsThe fruit here is much riper than I would expect from a Ridge estate Cabernet, and the oak is prominent. Purple fruits with cherry accents, sweet herbs, spice and tobacco showed on the nose. On the palate, it was silky in texture with concentrated black fruits, plum verging on prune with a sweet herbal mix. Brisk acidity and a bit of green tannin showed on the finish. I wanted more austerity here, but this vintage came across as very ripe. Considering the notes from other tasters here, I'll keep my mind open to tasting again.

2000 Château Lagrange (St. Julien)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/4/2017 - Purple Tooth wrote: 93 pointsThis is still a solid 93+ and on its way up. Has traded in its thick p-coat for a suit but still has all the muscle underneath. Its far more elegant, refined, and sexy, while youthful and light on its feet. This is shaping up and shedding fat. I like it now with lots of air, and again, I think that this is very much in line with the 1996 vintage at this stage...can drink but I still think its a strong Hold

5/29/2015 - hawkeye54 wrote: 92 pointsDrank over 4 hours. Kept improving in the glass. Medium bodied, slightly dusty, lush black fruits, fine tannins, medium + finish. This was just starting to show its identity in hour 4.

2006 Il Poggione (Proprietá Franceschi) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
2/20/2014 - hawkeye54 wrote: 90 pointsDecanted four hours. Dark red color with a little orange rim. Tart cherry nose with a little earthy background. Same tart cherries on the palate with a bit of leather and spicy oak. Finish was ok. I drank this over three days and I would say that the second and third day showed more fruit and smooth tannins than the first, without losing any appealing qualities. It's enjoyable now but I would hold on to a bottle or two for a few years if possible.
