IX Estate Napa Valley Red Blend 2013

2013. Dark presence with violet-black from edge to end. Unctious. El Capitan tears with solar flare outcroppings linear paralleling across the cliff face. Lovely mushroom and earth interplay here with blackberry bourgeoning and black olive wisps. Forêt Noir leanings with brittle and toffee behind a curious veil of grill smoke. Palate is met with a rush of intense flavor, warm dark chocolate and raw nib, concentrated black cherry, cedar, blackberries and red currant, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco, and a drop of treacle. Wild resonance! Flavor permanences.

Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 2003

A completely different wine than the Dominus. This was full throttle and slams you back in to your seat with its G forces. So ripe, almost over the top; but it decelerates just in time and the finish is so succulent it lingers in your mouth forever. Filled to the tip of the cork with graphite and teeth staining purple fruit. This is the malevolent bastard child of a young Colgin IX Syrah and 2000 Chateau Pavie. Gobsmacker. — 8 years ago

Awesome note. Had a 93 almost 4 months ago and noted that it was starting to lose its grip, although still had quite a bit of power. Sounds like this one was perfectly in the window!

Cuvée Marguerite Côtes Catalanes Blanc Viognier Muscat 2015

16/IX/2017
Насыщенный аромат спелых тропических фруктов (манго, папайя), апельсиновых корок, силикона, абстрактных пряностей, воска. Со временем успокаивается, уходит в абрикосовую и персиковую мякоть. Среднетелое, во вкусе абрикосы, абрикосовые косточки, айва, узбекский лимон. Глубокое, сладковатое, с долгим вяжущим послевкусием. 17/20

В аромате мокрые камни, белая смородина, цедра лимона. Тонко. Среднетелое, высокая кислотность, свежий вкус с доминантой цитрусов (лимон, грейпфрут), добавкой шерсти. Хорошо. 16,5/20

Vidonia Viñas Viejas Valle de la Orotava Listan Blanco 2015

20/IX/2018
Лимон, цитрусовое масло, битые морские камни, пот, холодная сталь, растертые зеленые листья, легкие бензольные тона. После нескольких часов раскрывается недозрелыми дыней и гуавой. Среднетелое, вкус строгий и довольно напористый, пронзительный и чистый. Натянутая упругая структура с хорошей внутренней глубиной. Точный баланс яркой кислотности, вертикальной солёной минеральности и маслянистой цитрусовой основы. Чуть тёплый финиш с легкой горчинкой. Холодное и наэлектризованное, красиво собранное, очень молодое, с сильным заделом на будущее. 17+/20

(100+ летние непривитые лозы Listan Blanco (Palomino) с трёх вулканических участков Тенерифе: El Barranco, La Solana и El Ciruelo, 350-520 метров над уровнем моря)

Anfora Venezia Giulia Ribolla Gialla 2005

01/IX/2017
Глубокий янтарный цвет. На старте подсушенная рыбья икра. Яблочное варенье, сухие апельсиновые корки, гранола, каштановый мёд, кора, кожа. В развитии уходит в сушёные грибы, тмин, сухую землю. Полное тело, во вкусе курага, изюм, засохший мёд, кожа, сухие цветы, соль. Нарочито аскетично, с шероховатой фактурой и хорошей концентрацией. Долгий тёплый финиш. Сложное вино. 17,5/20

'Arcane IX L'Ermite' Red Blend 2016

Given that I am the only reviewer thus far, I feel the need to provide an update. Enjoying my last bottle now. The nose is of prune, stewed fruits, earth. On the palate, the tannins are now fully integrated, muddled blue and black fruits dominate, with some raisin and prune. A much better showing than my prior review. I feel almost apologetic because this is a very good Gigondas. I wouldn't hold this longer though.
