9.1

Medium-dark purple color, mostly dark fruit aromas and flavors, still quite youthful as well, very fine structure and depth, quite fine length, another very good Ca Rozzeria!! — 3 hours ago

9.2

Lovely berry fruit nicely framed by some French oak, some pleasant earthy notes as well, nicely balanced with very good acidity, long, lingering finish with just a touch of tannic grip, these Ca Rozzeria wines are always well-done and great bargains!! — 2 days ago

WAY better than the somewhat ordinary 2019 Gigondas we had earlier, this would be way better if it wasn’t 15% ABV (I mean right, @Tom Casagrande??), this has great, ripe, deep fruit, but frankly too much ABV!! — 4 days ago

[@Delectable Wine — this is the “Bedrock Teldeschi Ranch HERITAGE Dry Creek Valley] Still pretty closed aromatics, I can sense the Petite Sirah in this wine, which has shut it down mostly, on potential, I’m guessing this will someday merit 9.2 or 9.3, but it might need 8-10 more years in the cellar to get there. — 5 hours ago

Lovely aged Roussanne from Savoie, honeyed, viscous, still very fine acidity, lingering finish, very good! — a day ago

8.9

Still relatively youthful with a medium-dark purple color, as @Tom Casagrande said three years ago, ripe vintage, soft tannins, relatively lower acidity, lingering finish, I’d guess this is at or near maturity (so I need to drink up the remaining bottles in the next few years, overall solid Moulin-a-Vent!!
(Oh, and this was in a box with the final 3 bottles I purchased of 1983 Chateau Fonsalette “Cuvée Syrah”, which I’ll let stand up for a while to settle the apparent copious sediment!) — 3 days ago

8.9

Aged dry Chenin Blanc from Baumard, the “Trie Speciale”, which is always dynamite if consumed 7-12 years from vintage, this bottle is JUST a little older, honeyed aromas and flavors, still alive, but would of course be better if it was sweeter, amazing how long these wines will last, though, even if not optimum!! — a day ago

This biodynamic Regnie is from an outstanding vintage, and is still quite vibrant and fresh on the palate, red fruits, actually the acid is so good it tastes younger than it actually is, lovely!! — 2 days ago
