Wow! A new favorite white wine! — 2 months ago
A little spicy and mellow (definitely needs aeration) — 3 months ago
Double blind wine tasting. 3 Whites and 3 Reds:
1. ‘18 Hamilton Russell Chard - WOTN across both whites and reds - complex, refined, fruit integrated with honey, oak, butter, cream, camomile.
2. ‘20 Hartenberg The Eleanor Chard - big wine that could use a few years. Nice fruit and lovely acidity. Mix between a White Burg and Rhone Blend.
3. ‘22 Far Niente Chard - potential, very young, not the best QPR. Reminded me of young Paul Hobbs single vineyard Chards.
1. ‘12 Giacomo Fenocchio 90 di Riserva Barolo - aged showed through nicely, but still lively with dark cherries and ample tannins.
2. ‘20 Vilafonte - decanted, but young and an absolutely massive wine. Black fruit, chewy, with decent sweetness.
3. ‘02 Origin Red Blend - nose of black tar and cigars. Zero fruit and big tar, tobacco, and bbq flavors. Bigger wine than I was expecting.
Great night with great friends!

Great mix of a European and Napa style. Nice fruit and slight butter after. Very nice. — 2 months ago
Sainsburys. Good PN, but more body and butteryness that comes through. Smooth and drinkable. — 2 months ago
Majestic. I really enjoy the 2021. Smooth, not too sweet, hints of vanilla and oak. Very enjoyable and easy to drink. — 3 months ago
Pale yellow gold. Smells of flowers and very slightly of candied fruit. Mineral on the tongue, followed by pineapple and spice. Butter and tangerine come forward as the chill comes off the wine. — 4 months ago

Insanely awesome! Lovely dark gold color. Complex with butter, popcorn, melons, minerality, lemons, and camomile. Huge wine. Great QPR! — 19 days ago
