Really lovely Syrah, we had it on a horrible July evening with a rib of beef. — a year ago
Wow what a generous gift which retails for more than $250. Definitely less nose than expected but super complex! Regarded as one of the finest bottles available on the market today, we were nervous to drink it. That said, the 13 years in the bottle give it a strong alcohol start but finishes smooth and complex. — a year ago
100% Dry Creek Single Vineyard Zinfandel. Deep ruby/purple color. Intense aromas of black cherry, plum, dates and vanilla with a touch of mint. Dark black cherry/raspberry/plum flavors with hints of vanilla oak and black pepper on the lingering and juicy finish. Medium-plus body and soft tannins. Beautifully balanced (nice acidity) and well structured. Just pop and pour. Great option for a picnic or summer barbecue. — a year ago
Nice Aglianico in Zurich. Enjoyed with a Bolognese at Bindella in the Old Town. Opened a bit tight but decanted for 20 minutes during the first course and then it really got going. Savory, with some nice dark fruits (black cherry, raspberry) on the palate and some graphite and tobacco, too. Could definitely age it more if you own this in your cellar. Most other reasonably priced bottles on the list were much younger, so this had a good balance of a bit of bottle age and price. — a year ago

Drinks more like a grolleau. Spicy finish and oakey nose. Good with a slight chill maybe 58F. — a year ago
