Castello di Bossi
Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2019
Acidic cherry and tellicherry pepper advance first, followed by mellow vanilla and smoke. The sulfites caused an immediate headache for me. — a year ago

Les Hauts de Lagarde
Entre-Deux-Mers Red Bordeaux Blend 2020
This precocious rojado franc evokes memories of vintners of yore. It begins capriciously with marbled flavor facets. Later, it follows with oodles of black currant and elderberry. Finally, it mellows like a dachshund after a morning run and a bowl of breakfast. You will not be disappointed by this Lagarde production. Blessings to all. — 3 years ago

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.
The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.
In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass! — a year ago
