Wine Reviews

Included here are tasting notes and wine reviews on wines I’ve sampled. Each of these bottles I’ve purchased myself so no bias should be involved in the scoring of these wines. I’ve given no formal score to each wine but instead decided on a scale which can be seen here.

  • 2008 Domaine Huber-Verdereau Bourgogne
    Had higher hopes for based on Scott Paul's reputation. It is clear this is left over juice going into the basic level wine story here. These were the grapes that barely made it to ripeness. Very lean on the palette, not too fruity. Make sure you drink with food....even a dinner salad! Would not recommend to my friends at $35. So much better wine out the […]
  • 2009 Mahoney Vineyards Chardonnay Gavin's Vineyard
    This wine exhibits what other chardonnays can only aspire to. One of the finest efforts I have had in quite sometime. Wonderful fruit but with justa touch of butter and wood. Excellent. (90 pts.) - Tasted 7/30/2010. […]
  • 2004 M. Chapoutier Côte-Rôtie Les Bécasses
    At The Glass House Restaurant in Ambleside - £64 off the list. Medium/deep garnet core, medium pale garnet rim. Medium intensity nose, smoky, with blackberry and some blackcurrant fruit, foral perfume and a slight meaty edge. Complex. Medium bodied and elegant on the palate, but with good depth of black fruit, black pepper and hints of smoke and meat. Fine, […]
  • 1997 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Santo Stefano
    Rich, ripe cherry, strawberry, earth nose with an exotic spiciness. Great fruit and floral elements, incredible acidity and balance with a long sweet finish. Sexy and WOTN. (93 pts.) - Tasted 7/30/2010. […]
  • 1978 Château Mouton Rothschild
    Excellent (92 pts.) - Tasted 7/30/2010. […]
  • 1993 Gaja Barbaresco Sorì San Lorenzo
    Slightly funky at first becoming chocolate mineral-driven nose. Pretty complex and deep with a luscious palate showing nice fruit, tobacco, and an appealing sweetness. (93 pts.) - Tasted 7/30/2010. […]
