La Bohème Act Four Syrah Blend

9.0

A great dinner party red - not too easy to drink that you drink without really registering anything except “red wine” but not one you have to dry to decide whether you like or not. — 4 years ago

Tenuta Argentiera

Bolgheri Superiore Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Alex Lallos
9.2

When first opened it was generic and lame but with an hour it is really turning into something special. Beautiful nose (albeit showing a lot of vanilla and oak) but with Bolgheri class. Saline, red cherry and cola followed by mild dill. It is a beautifully crafted wine that needs time to show itself. I would love to see this in 10 years. Modern and seriously well built.

Le Clos du Caillou / Domaine du Caillou

Les Quartz Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2015

The quality for price is outstanding. In 1936 “Caillou’s owner had no desire to join the governing ranks of anything, let alone a wine appellation. This brazen act excluded the estate from the AOC and essentially carved out a chunk of Châteauneuf-du-Pape‘s border. Today it continues to be an ‘unclassified’ section in what is otherwise some of the most prized vineyard land in the area“-Ian Cauble, master sommelier — 4 years ago

Domaine Chatelain

Saint-Laurent-L'Abbaye Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2015

The Mrs. really likes this one, especially when she learned the cost. (Note: Her favorite White is Bordeaux Blanc, and there are plenty of similarities here). Classic aromas of hay, lemon juice, crushed rock and cat pee. More mouth feel and layers than expected - perhaps from lees aging - bright acid and underripe circus with pithy notes. Lemon and lime. Fresh. Feels like spring time. — 5 years ago

Domaine Olivier B.

Les Amidyves Côtes du Ventoux Grenache Blend 2017

Smells like a spiced pastry

Lively! Red stars dance across the tongue for only a meaty mingling moment, before the tannins start smacking every part of the mouth, up, down, left, right, Jab, Jab, Ka-pow! Those knock out tannins longer on and on.. and on..
Wish I had bought 2 bottles, this needs at least 5 years to relax those teen tannins.
I mean, don’t close your mouth for too long on these tannins, as they act like a vacuum and super glue. You’ll never get your jaws apart..
