Xmas Eve Dinner 2024 — 6 days ago

David Kline

9.5

Jamaica allspice submerged in black cherry, black raisin, African violets, red roses, cooked poppyseed, grilled, wine marinated steak with rosemary garnish. The palate is silky with medium mouthfeel and stealthy tannic hooks are whisked away like burrs and prickles on a satin sock. Sweet Connecticut wrap of tobacco is assisted by a minute mocha and black peppercorn. This took a while to open, surprisingly, but well worth the wait!

You just can't best this 2007 vintage comtes de comtes. Just so light on the palette but the flavours still immense. Celebrated with this over the weekend and worth every drop in my mouth. — 4 years ago

Big, bold dark fruit. Vanilla, herbs, and spice. Smooth finish. — 2 months ago

Coconut/vanilla/dirty earth, plush dried fruit makes it all worth it. Uber complex. Delicious — 2 years ago

Agree with those who describe the finesse in this reserve. Long open but worth the wait every time. apparently higher in sangiovese than other vintages and it works just fine. Really nice Antinori offering! — 4 years ago

The 15’ bottling sees Petit Verdot leading this Bordeaux blend at 32%, with 26% CS, 26% Merlot, 13% CF, and 3% Malbec.
Complex and deep nose of blackberry, cassis, fig, dry pine cone, dark soy source, butterscotch, thyme, black pepper, with hint of violet. The palate, while delicious and smooth, lacks the depth I expected. Finely grained tannins lead to a long peppery finish.
377 cases made. — 4 years ago

Absolutely Awesome! My daughter just passed the Bar exam and we picked a marvelous wine to celebrate! Soft tannins, great minerality with mid pallet lingering aftertaste. Still has red fruit taste with hints of tobacco. Cellaring is well worth it. — a year ago

Initial nose was like a wonderful complex cologne, 1995 drunk in 2021, still fresh and great, lots of life left, but, nothing really spectacular about the wine. Definitely good but not worth it. — 3 years ago

And that’s why BF is so worth it - 12 years in and it hasn’t even peaked yet. Beautiful. — 4 years ago
