Suave, polished, and utterly drinkable, the 2019 Selección 874 from the Wine Society is a brilliant modern Rioja with great heritage. Produced by La Rioja Alta, this feels more forward and - perhaps, immediately - drinkable than the Ardanza, a more serious Reserva for the long haul. But this has plenty of stuffing to age well, and I think it will become a beautiful, graceful Rioja with another 15+ years in bottle. That’s if, of course, the rest of my case can wait…

We just had the 2011 vintage and apparently it has nothing in common with prior vintages. Given time, super chocolate notes to start and later leather and tobacco flavors and nose come through. Not what I would typically expect of a malbec but a nice wine with a good rare steak...and pretty damn good with chicken — 8 years ago

Good smokiness . Strong bitter sweetness (good) to it. — 8 years ago

Digging it. The nose draws you in with breakfast country ham and cherry syrup. Honestly, feels like I’m driving up to a Denny’s. However, “old world” notes of forest floor - pine tree bark, dry leaves, and wood chips - develop. Acidity stays relevant, but doesn’t kick your ass. This is why I love Willamette; good fruit, but not boring and extracted. — 9 years ago

Lots of tar, tea, and maybe a bit of deep fruit, but I found it quite closed even after more than an hour uncorked. Tannins were still prominent but the wine was just not fragrant enough this time. I usually really love Phélan Ségur, this time it was just good. — 6 months ago

Uncorked ~30m, then ~15m rest in glass.

Nose has oxidized yellow apple, white flowers and fresh baked bread.
Palate has buttery yellow apple mash, oxidized strawberry, great mineral balance and a long finish.

I've finally met a Brice bottle I can fully embrace, this vintage selection is just perfect, approachable in its youth and quite elegant. — 7 years ago

Still holds the crown as my favorite Napa Cabernet. There were few questionable reviews on the 2006's out there, so I was a little nervous. Uncorked for 4-6 hours and then decanted for another ~1.5-2. She sipped nicely at first pop and once we poured at dinner she was ready to go. Velvety tannins. Long finish. Fruit definitely still there but more mellowed out. Melt in your mouth good. Looking forward to my last bottle in a few years. — 8 years ago

9.1

Deep purple in color with a short purple rim.

Strong fruity nose and full bodied, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black plums, cooked cherries, sweet blackberries, light cedar, earth, herbs, chocolates, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and black tea.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a very tasty Malbec from Red Mountain in Washington State. Extracted and fruit forward.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and spicy.

A good sipping wine. Rich and in your face kind of wine.

A blend of 96% Malbec and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in (60% New) French Oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 2,800 bottles.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$85. — 8 months ago

AMAZING BORDEAUX that’s still able to shine, decanted, after a few hours of opening! In ritual notes of damp leather, subdued / dried fruits and felt past its prime. 2 hours later - completely blossomed into this robust, aged, beautiful almost “fruit forward” masterpiece with almost olive overtones. I’m sure it was a great bottle 10, 20, even 30 years ago - but now it’s almost better as it’s transformed into this subtle, wonderful wine which was able to hold its own against aged cheese and roasted beef. A true treasure I’m glad we uncorked!! (BTW - cork was LONG - get your longest screw out for this one)!!! — 4 years ago

Had his as a Guwerztraminer tasting event at Beetle Cat in Atlanta, hosted by the Southeast Sommelier Society. Gorgeous floral nose of peach blossoms, white rose petals and lychee. On the palette, this wine was impeccably balanced with lemon tart acidity cutting though the evident residual sugar. Succulent notes of fresh apricot, lychee and lemon tart to a long and refined finish. — 8 years ago

Overall great. Best to let it breathe for a bit at first - there was a strong tar vibe when I first uncorked it. Beyond that, a surprisingly light feel, with notes of plum and general savoryness. — 9 years ago
