Ricasoli Brolio Chianti Classico Docg 2019

Mazzei Ser Lapo Riserva Chianti Classico 2019, D.O.C.G.

Cantina Terre Del Barolo Vinum Vitae Est 2004, Docg

Nov 2012: Quite faded at this point to a brick red. Aromatically quite appealing, with lots of fruit (a surprise), as well as the more earthy notes you'd expect. Attack has many of the same flavours, but the finish is jarringly astringent. In the end, this seems more like a facsimile of Barolo rather than the real thing.

Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Mendocino County, Organic Wine

Hacienda Lopez De Haro Reserva 2005, Doca Rioja

Medium ruby, not really showng much age. Nose is dominated by cedary notes and spice, with just a hint of fruit (reflecting its age I suppose). Quite round and tasty, however, with med to full body and a good lingering tannic finish. Made for food. A touch austere. Will hold a few more years, but I doubt it will reveal much more.

Delaforce Touriga Nacional/Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Cosme Palacio Reserva 2010

Sandeman Vau Vintage 1999, Porto

Not the best vintage of Vau. A little austere, and starting to fade. Drink up.
