Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2008

Among the best Tignanello offerings to date, rivaling the '97. In fact , time will tell but it might rival the last 3 acclaimed vintages. Leather, licorice, and smoke in a larger than normal from this maker. Full with long lovely finish. — 3 years ago

Licorice aroma is the reward for patience in the decanter. Developed nicely over a few hours.

2016. Hearty full bodied with flavors of dried plum and date. Long lasting tannins and flavors, like including coffee. — 3 years ago

Thanks Martijn, it is a promising vintage

Jacques Selosse

Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the disgorgement date but I know it is pre 2013. Aromas of baked apples , nuts and hints of oxidation. Robust acidity and complex flavors tease your tongue but somehow lacked the energy level I expect with this producer. Definitely more oxidative in the mouth then on the nose. — 6 years ago

@Ira Schwartz pretty similar experience with any of his wines that have more than five years in the bottle.

@Alex Jones That is disappointing. Thankfully that has not been my experience.

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Could do with more time in the bottle but it's a special occasion afterall. Noses rose petals, vanilla, leather, capsicum and tobacco, black fruits and pencil shavings....and date I say onions! Huge body. Palate is savoury yet so layered and structured. Dark chocolates galore with a generous scatter of sea salt. Harmonious! Precise! — a month ago

Never understood the due date on “Trappist” as we all now it really rocks once it passes it’s due date 🤣
