Ravenswood Winery
Teldeschi Single Vineyard Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2012
Anything but delicate zinfandel from Sonoma. Zesty, spicy-rich, yet black fruit dominant. Some smoke, hint of toasted notes. Might want to give it 30 minutes before pouring. — 10 years ago
Celler Cecilio
Black Slate Escaladei VI de la Vila Garnacha Blend 2011
Lots of red fruit and spices. Lovely, almost translucid ruby red juice. Chewy on the mouth, but with a dry, biting finish. Soft tannins. Much more smooth on day 2, so decant at least for an hour. Solid but not impressive. Excelent QPR — 10 years ago
La Rasina
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009
Delicious, textbook #Brunello: full bodied, smooth tannins and a long finish on the palate. Dried red fruit (cherries, raspberries), spicy plum jam, smokey mineral. Best after 1-Hour decant — 10 years ago
Anaba
Coriol Red Rhone Blend 2009
Exquisito blend de Sonoma. Opulente fruta negra, de firmes taninos. De un profundo color purpura, y con 14.2% de alcohol que se manifiesta en sus largas y pesadas lagrimas sobre la copa. Tiene un toque mentolado en su final. Decantar por encima de la hora para que se revele en todo su potencial. — 10 years ago
Wynns Coonawarra Estate
Black Label Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
Apparently simple, full bodied, dry, well constructed aussie cab. Heafty dose of blackfruit and currant with spices, tobacco overtones. Nice tannins and alcohol hotness suggest it could hold for a couple of more years.. Excellent QPR — 10 years ago
Pago de Sangara
Ribera del Duero Selección Especial Tempranillo 2006
Think Mocha: Tobacco. Coffee. Licorice. Very interesting Duero. Decantation is a must. Give it 1+ hour. — 10 years ago
Il Marroneto
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2002

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2012
Mandatory cola, ripe cherry and a hint if caramel. Great PQR — 10 years ago
Juan Carlos Russo
This is a well built, tasty and charming Pinot. While black cherry, plum and raspberry are found upfront, some earthy notes round off it's experience. Pretty, translucent ruby red with long, fast legs. Should age gracefully for a couole of years — 9 years ago
