2018 Alberto Voerzio Barolo La SerraNebbiolo more |
5/18/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 93 pointsDiet Roberto Voerzio. In all seriousness it’s a nice 2018 and very approachable like most are. Soft tannins with milk chocolate, strawberry, violets and mineral. Drinkable now. |

2021 Terroir Al Limit Soc. Lda. Priorat L'ArbossarCarignan more |
5/17/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 90 pointsOpened in the bottle all day. Decent but boring and drinking in the $40-40 range. Alcohol pokes through the palate and nose with plenty of dull red grape flavor. Low acid and low tannin. Still ot delivers a nice complement to food (just not alone). |

2021 Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon HierothesionOakville more |
5/8/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 95 pointsIt’s a solid offering for the $140 price tag. It has similar density and length as the regular offerings but maybe just pulled back a little. In a blind line up of all Kinsman Eades Candi doubt I could pick it out. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

2020 Tenuta di Fessina Etna Musmeci BiancoEtna DOC Carricante more |
5/7/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 90 pointsA good Etna white but certainly can’t live up to the price charged. Obviously high acid with tart lemon, dried herb and mineral. Not giving off much beyond that right now. My preference would be something from Terre Nere for half the price though this clearly has better pedigree. |

2021 Château Le Puy Rose-MarieVin de France Merlot more |
5/7/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 93 pointsVery unique (as it should be for the price). It has all the qualities of high end Merlot with some extra freshness added in. Take your favorite $70 Saint Emilion and add four ice cubes. Let the fully melt then enjoy. Strawberry, plum, sage, mineral and touches of almost Campari like bitterness. Need 30 minutes to open but certainly deeper and darker than one would ever expect. |

2019 Le Macchiole Paleo RossoToscana IGT Cabernet Franc more |
4/13/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 95 pointsThis is the best young Paleo I’ve had. Milk chocolate, black tea, bitter greens and mineral. As always these need at least 5 years after release to perform. |

2016 Bryant Family Vineyard DB4Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/6/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 93 pointsReady to go from the start. Cassis, clove, dark chocolate and plum. My only complaint is the cassis is heavy while fruit is in the background. Still plenty of structure but given the lack of fruit I’d drink over the next few years. |

2021 Failla Chardonnay Sonoma Coastmore |
4/6/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 91 pointsGood but not exciting. Dense and creamy texture with plenty of ripeness. Melon, lemon, vanilla and mineral. Needed about 30 minutes open in the bottle to come around. |

2022 Lucien Crochet SancerreSauvignon Blanc more |
4/6/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 90 pointsGood wine and like usual delivers for the price. Grassy but nice ripeness to balance. Good value at around $30 even if it’s not super exciting. |

2018 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/5/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 96 pointsThis was really open and less structured/austere than most montrose. Blackberry, plum, menthol, cassis and some earthiness. Lots of acid but ripeness to balance. Obviously better in 20 years but soft now. |

2018 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La TurqueSyrah more |
4/5/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 96 pointsYoung but luxurious. Lots of oak and slightly muted but delivery. Plum, blackberry, smoke, vanilla, violets, damp earth. Dense but bright and acidic. No rush clearly. |

2022 Domaine François Cotat Sancerre Les Monts DamnésSauvignon Blanc more |
4/4/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 93 pointsNice and tart/acidic but still plenty of ripe density. Orchard fruit, honey, citrus, and dried herbs. |

2020 Château PavieSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/2/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 95 pointsVery plush with loads of ripe plum, oak/vanilla, cassis, espresso and milk chocolate. Good acid and structure that needs time to settle. |

2014 Daou Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cabernet "Soul of a Lion"Paso Robles Adelaida District more |
4/2/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 93 pointsIt’s been a few years since having this bottle. It’s actually really well made and not over the top. Ripe black fruit, cassis, mineral and a game element. No rush to drink up at this point. |

2013 Bevan Cellars OntogenyNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/1/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 94 pointsI have not had this wine in 5 plus years. I was expecting overblown and flabby but was the opposite. Good structure with firm tannins. Dark fruit and ripe but actually some freshness. Probably at peak now. |

2020 Vieux Château CertanPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/1/2024 - MAXIMUM SATISFACTION wrote: 99 pointsGreat right from the start but better with several hours air. Very dense and luxurious on the palate. Plums, dark chocolate, dried herbs, minerals, cassis…. Perfect balance. Long haul wine but approachable now. |
