Tenuta di Arceno
Il Fauno di Arcanum Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2022
Not as good as the '21. This year offers 40% Merlot, 32% Cab Franc, 23% Cab Sauv and 5% Petite Verdot. IGT. Olive tamponade, a bit dusty and cedar opener. Full mouthfeel and very drinkable now, but this might benefit from a time out for a while. — 2 months ago
Pago de Otazu
Navarra Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Rating a day later. This is a big wine that needed a long decant. 4-5 hrs and it never really fully opened. What did open shows a great nose and layers of complexity. Silky smooth. Mostly red fruits with a bit of spice complementing a long finish. 60% Merlot and 40% Cab blend. It's also a wine that needs 3-5 yrs min and probably 10. — 19 days ago
Ron Noble
Petaluma Gap Estate Pinot Noir 2019
I'm a fan of this wine. Cherry opener with a red and black fruit mid. Earthy as you'd like a Pinot to be. Black tea, herbs and some smoke to finish. — a month ago

My last bottle so I decided to treat the group on New Years Day. Inky purple and a amazing nose right out of the bottle. Loads of red and black fruits with licorice, cedar and leather throughout. Complex finish and beautiful tannins. Once in a while bottle that delivers. Might have been up against its life span, but still a keeper. — 12 days ago
