Château Maucamps 2006, A.C. Haut Médoc

Aromas of tobacco hit me like I just lit a big Arnold Schwarzenegger-style cigar followed by oak, forest floor, cedar, black currant, and molasses after some time. The palate is pure tertiary Notes of Leather, tobacco, clove, prunes, and iron. Also, a hint of cinnamon with a dry finish.

Luce Brunello Di Montalcino 2018, D.O.C.G.

Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and flowers that seemed like they were sprinkled with baby powder, yes you read that right

Carpineto Riserva Chianti Classico 2017, Docg

Chianti with a complex nose. Aromas of smoke, vanilla, oak, cherry, raspberry, game, violet, and tobacco. Flavors are the same except for the game and Raspberry. A dry mid-palate but a Juicy finish. High acidity, of course, integrated tannins.

Tolaini Al Passo 2017, Igt Toscana

Aromas of perfume, orange, plum, cherry, barnyard and a hint of molasses. The palate was full of juicy medium plus acidity to compliment the cherry, plum, orange, oak, molasses and violet notes. Dry dusty tannins at the start but settles after thirty minutes. Very soft drinking Tuscan

Beaumont Wines Chenin Blanc 2021, Bot River Walker Bay

Buttermilk on the nose along with dried herbs, pear, and tropical fruits.

The tropical fruits don't show up on the tongue, but they stick to the lips at the end of each sip. But before that, there is lots of lemon, and sharp acidity that slams the back of the teeth. If you love citrus this is for you with a bit of sour peach.

It's very good with Foie Gras Terrine, but even better with European Sea Bass, a combo that gives goosebumps.

San Felice Il Grigio Riserva Chianti Classico 2019, Sustainable, Docg

Floral with a hint of earthy aromas along with raspberry ,orange, dried cherry, licorice and game. Juicy acidity on the palate with black cherry, raspberry, Orange, tomato and oak. Some dry tannins as it warms up. Nice chianti but should be even better in a year or two

Chanson Mâcon Villages 2016, A.C.

Grapefruit, peach, grass, and oak aromas.

Light Flavours of peach, grapefruit, and cream gently coat the mouth. The finish has a subtle citrus taste that tingles like pepper, then it turns into Green melon as the finish stretches out.

Long finish and medium minus acidity on this wine, reminded me of a Sauvignon Blanc

Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Barrel Fermented Chenin Blanc 2022, Wo Stellenbosch

Apple, cream, lemon, and lime on the nose and tongue with some oak spice on the finish. Lovely acidity makes this a thirst-quenching wine. April 2024

Château La Prade 2018, A.C. Bordeaux Côtes De Francs

Aromas of plum, black cherry, bell pepper, potting soil, and violet.

The palate was juicy black fruits, licorice, subtle oak, alcohol, and some earthy notes. All this was backed by mouthwatering acidity that quickly tame the tight tannins that one expects from a young Bordeaux. Had a long nice floral and citrus finish.

Mazzei Ser Lapo Riserva Chianti Classico 2018, Docg

Nice supple complex wine. unfolding layers of taste and smell. Plum, earth, violet, cherry, orange and some chalky tannins.
