Block 43 Bien Nacido Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020

2020 vintage. Last tasted 7.3.24 (9.3) and 7.23.24 (9.3). Still weird mix of pretty and ugly/grounded and flighty with medium/medium-heavy body but it works with the journey and the finish. 9.3.25. — 3 months ago

Blue Rock

Blue Rock Baby Blue Red 2015

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Showing a gorgeous nose, once it opens up.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and nicely balanced.

Showing blackberries, black currants, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 10-year-old is drinking very nicely now, and probably drinking at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next couple of years.

Showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity. This 2015 is showing a lot of sediments. Easy drinking, soft and smooth with good structure.

Fruit forward, elegant and spicy. Good right out of the bottle, and better with some air time.

A blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 11% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 4% Malbec.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$30 (current vintage).

Al naso espressivo con frutta e suolo. Al palato fine, molto naturale e altrettanto preciso e pulito. Finale caldo e avvolgente.

Quarantatre 43 Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Nose: savory. Spice perfect lilacs. Violets. So perfect. Maybe a hint of age as it aerates.

Palate: perfect “sweet “ cherry fruit. Gorgeous silky licorice. Still fresh.

A truly magnificent wine.

Château Phélan Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

Over the weekend I opened the 2018 Château Pgélan Ségur Saint-Estèphe Left Bank Bordeaux. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Merlot.

On the nose was very expressive and floral, black cherry, blackberry, fig, black currant, licorice, creamy chocolate, iron, violets and earth.

On the palate was black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, licorice, spice, minerality, light oak, herbal and dark rich earth.

This is a full bodied wine wiyg smooth fresh mouthfeel mouthwatering medium + acidity and medium + grainy tannins that leaves you with a long black fruit earthy graphite finish. This is a beautiful wine and worth the price. You can drink now or cellar for a later date. Have a wonderful week ahead and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
