Took a chance - some are winners and some are like this... Antinori product lacking varietal typicity & extraction. — 3 days ago

9.2

impressive: lacked the Priorato terroir that i love, but this was a well balanced, generous field blend that belied the age on the bottle. inky, deeply opaque, wafting aromas of black & red fruit, exotic herbs & spices, herbaceous and deeply layered, complex, engaging, on palate it was polished, balanced, integrated tannins and smooth voluptuous finish. — 7 days ago

ouch - maybe a bad bottle but this was disappointing as I seem to always enjoy Musar and Lebanese wines in general. this was harsh & astringent- lacked any sort of charm or finesse — 11 days ago

9.1

very pleasant, elegant, all kinds of cherry, raspberry and red currant on nose, some red florals, spice and an herbal note. great varietal typicity w/out carbonics - legit, classic style, has many more years ahead, mild tannins and decent acidity make this versatile for food options — 7 days ago

@ESF, I am a fan of this wine, cannot recall if I’ve had the 2019, but often find this cuvée on the discount shelves 4-6 years after the vintage, and it never seems to disappoint. Cheers!

Paso Robles Estate Petite Sirah 2021

8.9

typical Paso - too hot, overextracted and clumsy, BUT Petite Sirah has such a gorgeous aromatic & palate profile that this was still enjoyable. all the tell tale notes of deep dark fruit compote, coffee, cocoa, cassis, pepper, exotic spices - just a big audacious nose w/generous fleshy (flabby) palate, moderate tannins and modest finish — 9 days ago
