Very good big Napa cab, cabs always on the edge of fruity side for me but fantastically balanced and very smooth. Delicious way to land in New York with my brother! — 9 days ago

Brunello tasting all day and had one that scored 100% so inevitably hard to compete but a grows-on-you very delicious Brunello and fun to drink where it’s from — 2 years ago

Delicious classic Bordeaux with all the deep cherry and black fruit notes, balanced acidity and tannin once allowed to breathe. A treat with my brother! — a year ago

8.8

Definitely got better the more it opened up. Smoother/more balanced than anticipated (more medium body) so still a very drinkable wine. I get the 9.4 pro ratings etc just maybe prefer punchier things but delicious and very much enjoyed! — 2 years ago

Surprisingly not fruit forward, a lot of leather / bitter notes. Enjoyed but not a favourite. Definitely a food wine and I can see why it’s often blended instead of drunk 100% as tinto cao — a year ago

Very “French” dry white - rounder in the mouth but not as much as expected. Quite classic. Interesting to try Corsican grape and wine — 2 years ago

8.4

Got better on 2-3rd glass as needed to open up - felt bit thin and less punchy than had expected. More acid/alcohol forward although nice soft tannins and eventually more dark fruit flavours. Definitely a long finish — 2 years ago
