Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2012, Docg

Excellent Sangiovese-based wine from Tuscany, just like a good Chianti Classico. Great value at this price point. Benefited from an hour of decanting. Tasted January 2016.

Château L'hospitalet La Réserve Rouge 2014, La Clape, Ac Coteaux Du Languedoc

Very impressive full-bodied wine that tasted great right away upon opening. Highly recommended. Tasted July 2018.

Lagoalva Reserva 2015, Vinho Regional Tejo

Very nice wine that required 3 - 4 hours of decanting before it turned out real nice and smooth and did not taste so tart any more. Tasted March 2018.

Decoy Chardonnay 2016, Sonoma County

I agree about the sweetish notes. Quite an amazing Chardonnay ! Tasted October 2019.

Paul Dolan Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, Mendocino County

Louis Roederer Brut Champagne 2012, Ac

Very enjoyable brut champagne with a good balance between acids and sweetness. Tasted December 2023.

Graham's 10 Year Old Tawny Port, Douro Valley

Le Clos Jordanne Vineyard Chardonnay 2006, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Twenty Mile Bench

Tasted the 2005 vintage. Impressive Chardonnay at this price point. I highly recommend it. Tasted in July 2017.

Masi Brolo Di Campofiorin 2006, Igt Rosso Del Veronese

i have been keeping this wine for a couple of years and was looking forward to the day I would open it. However, this wine did not live up to my optimistic expectations. My biggest disappointment was how light this wine turned out to be (let's say light to medium body range to be fair) and the associated acidity. Also, I found the flavors to be almost completely taken over by the oak. Tasted December 2011.

Hecht & Bannier St Chinian 2007

Nice, smooth full-bodied wine from a great region making a comeback on the wine scene. I was expecting a lot more though, especially after having been treated to Languedoc wines of the great 2009 vintage year.Tasted January 2013.
