Light Sumatra coffee notes, with dark cocoa nib and baked red plum with a borderline persimmon coat on. A drop of night blooming jasmine surfacing briefly and African violet, and a fat lily thickness. There are baked cherries and a smoky paprika, too. Black cherry, that coils dustily into a toasty oak and resin dappled raspberry and roobios bitterness and fine grained tannins. #brunello #poggiocastellare #PianBossolino #italianwines #montalchino #Tuscany #riserva #wineallyouwant — 7 years ago
Splendid KS #rioja #riserva. Give it a little time in the glass for the new American oak to blow off. Then earthy dark fruit, underbrush, leather, mushrooms aromas waft out. Peppery spicy on the front palate, firm tension, mouth-swaddling generous tannins and a touch of pepper on the long finish. Incredible food-friendly wine considering the awesome QPR: $8 at Costco. — 4 years ago
Me and my boyfried had this wine in Chiusi in a small city in Tuscany! It's an amazing Sangiovese we spend 28 euro at the restaurant! #montepulciano #vinonobile #riserva #2013 #italianwines — 6 years ago

@TerreMargaritel #Riserva C: Garnet red; N: backed dark berries, leather and some candied fruit; M: Black berries, dark cherries, licorice, licorella, and a long persistent finish. #sangiovese — 8 years ago
Really enjoyable and well made #pinotnoir #pinotnero #riserva from #altoadige #sudtirol #italy Perhaps the acidity is a little too high and there isn’t enough ripe fruit and body to balance it, but it has delicate and precise aromas and flavors. — 4 years ago
Classic #rioja #riserva - so much forest floor, earth, leather on the nose, medium light body, features typically shy fruit and backbone of acidity. Tannins are light. More fruit concentration would be nice but honestly I have not found a better value for the #oldworldstyle wine lover than this Costco bottle for $6.99. — 6 years ago

Even with 9 years of bottle age there’s still a lot of youth in this #rioja #riserva 100% #graciano. Purple/red fruit on the nose, a touch reticent. Active on the palate with lively acidity and tannins continue to build with each sip. So youthful I’m eager to try the 2001 vintage of from this producer that I bought recently. — 2 years ago
