Starting to go through my 2019s. At almost 7yrs, if the others are similar to this bottle, this seemed at absolute peak drinking with plenty of time to enjoy.

UV-SL has, for me, been one I normally open on the younger side as I enjoy the natural opulent and pure fruit tbh at the site can give. Lovely yellow with a tinge of green still showing in the glass. Everything about this wine showed what made me fall in love with Aubert…big aromatics of white peach, roasted nuts, honeysuckle, nutmeg and citrus. Textural and initially powerful, the fruit on the mid-palate is balanced nicely by the acidity with a killer finish. Lovely signature Aubert lemon cream, lemon scone, tropical fruits, honey, little bit of limestone grit and some ginger. Feels like it’s hitting peak with a long window. No rush, but if you have multiple, enjoy one soon. — a month ago

Praleum w SL. Smoky and mineral. Complex. Longish finish. WOTD. Shaded the 82 Margaux.

The profound 1988 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a huge nose of black-cherries and spice box aromas intermingled with scents of wood, smoke, herbs, and cedar, full body, an unctuous, voluptuous texture, great concentration, and surprisingly low acidity. Poggio Antico's 1988 has tamed the vintage's toughness, producing a decadent, hedonistic Brunello that should drink well now and over the next 12-15 years. One of Brunello di Montalcino's emerging stars, Poggio Antico continues to produce some impressive Brunellos. 1988, RP94, issue date 1994 — 4 years ago

Praleum w SL. Disappointing. Remained closed throughout the night. Left 1/4 of the magnum bottle on the table. Suspect not ready to drink.

The profound 1996 Barolo Capalot Riserva boasts a dense, ruby/purple color, and a pure nose of black cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. Layered and multidimensional, with a sweet mid-palate and a blockbuster finish, this is an immense, full throttle Barolo that should age effortlessly for 15-25 years. Impressive! — 4 years ago

Smashing Rioja from a traditional family winery. This is the winery’s big hitting wine and it stands up to the task. Love this wine, full of black fruity flavours, with smashes of orange and is fresh and slightly creamy on the tongue. — 6 years ago

At Mini India for the first time. Really liked the food…this wasn’t the lowest cost wine on the list. We went for a mid priced wine (15.9€) and found it to be a delightful experience. Would definitely have this one again, especially at this price point. — 3 years ago

Deep ruby. Nose was a blast of dark berries. Very complex. Cassis, blackberry, sl earth, vanilla on the palate. Nice acidity. Very smooth with long finish. This is a really great Bordeaux from a 13th century vineyard. — 4 years ago
