January 31, 2018

2013 Brunello di Montalcino wines

It is 2013 Brunello Di Montalcino time.

The 2013 vintage has been released in January 2018.The 2013 vintage is considered to be a “classic” vintage. With a more typical weather pattern during 2013, it brought back the wine making of the years where harvest was at the beginning of October.The vintage years of 2011 and 2012 were warmer years and harvest was in early September.

These 2013’s are wines with freshness along with bright acidity.

All made from 100% Sangiovese.

Stunning wines.

2004 Riserva Montestefano Barbaresco

November 12, 2017

Tasted bottle #8737 of 11,853 bottles produced.2004-Montestefano-Barbaresco-Riserva My Favorite Wine

For this 2004 vintage, the wine had a ruby color with brickish tones.There are aromas of intense violets, cherries and ripe black raspberries.

On the palate there are refined tannins giving this great structure. The wine shows elegance in the ripe fruits. The finish is filled with ripe fruits and melting tannins. Such a great wine with Italian food and drinking so nicely now and should over the next 5 to 10 years.

2015 Grands Crus Classes of Saint Emilion

The 2015 vintage for St Emilion is a good vintage.

2015 may have had one of the warmest summers but the warmer weather produced slightly riper fruits with the cooler nights giving the right balance of acidity and smooth tannins. There was floral freshness of the lush fruit with smooth tannins with the right amount of acidity in all these delicious wines.

2015 Chateau Ripeau

Chateau Ripeau Grand Cru Classe has been classified Chateau Ripeau Nicolas Gregoiresince 1955 and is under new ownership since 2015. In 2015 the Gregoire family bought Chateau Ripeau.

Here we have the 2015 vintage. 2015 Chateau Ripeau St Emilion

This is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and aged for 16 months in new oak barrels.

This is an impressive powerful youthful delicious wine. I find it to be enjoyable today and with a long enjoyable future ahead of it.
