Red and purple core fruit, plum, red currant, tobacco leaf, and cedar. An unfortunately weak delivery of flavors, with a mid-palate that was fairly flat and plum-ridden. Absolutely no finish…
Black and red cherry, unripe purple plum, black raspberry, red licorice, and menthol. Furry tannins that left a cat tongue feeling on the palate. A bit bitter on the finish. PnP was super high-toned,…
Bright, lively, and hyper-crip flavors of yellow citrus, Asian pear, green apple, lemon oil, pumice, and hints of vanilla alcohol. A wake-you-up-in-the-morning fresh water splash attack, with bracing…
A simple delivery of red and black currant, tobacco leaf, and cedar. Light-to-medium bodied attack, flat mid-palate, no finish. Clipped, bitter, and all but totally lost on the back end. A Sling…
...Always gotta be somebody who waltzes in with a Caymus Cab strapped to his hip, slinging it out like a white peacock everyone can't wait to feast their eyes on....
Previous notes apply. This continues to kick out beautiful dark, black fruit, black raspberry, black currant, dark chocolate, espresso, scorched earth, and dark spice flavors. Seemingly a little…
Starting to come around a bit better; slowly but surely. Previous notes apply; some nice black core fruit, with bitter chocolate, dark roast coffee, sweet oak vanilla char, blueberry, and some earthy…
I quite enjoyed this bottle of Champagne. Nothing overly stimulating about it from an intellectual standpoint, but a easy drinker with a healthy dose of flavor, drive, and depth to keep the sips…
Funky and earthy notes of wild blackberry, plum, railroad tie, camphor, black tar, black wet cedar, soil, and some limestone. A hint of barnyard and Mary Jane on the back end, taking a bit away from…
A solid showing, especially after having a number of the most recent Janzen wines and being very impressed overall with their displays of flavor and solid representations of their respective sites.…
A pleasant surprise with this wine. Notes of black and red raspberry, red cherry, kirsch, red licorice, garrigue, and hints of chalky limestone. Medium-bodied and a littler linear on the back end,…
Hot damn! When I'm in the mood for a good PS, I look no further than a SBR PS. This 2010 is singing beautifully. Power and grace, depth and flavor...What a fun ride of a wine. Deeply pitched…
Drinking very nicely, with traditional KB notes of saturated black raspberry, red cherry, cola, earth, and spice. Don't wait too long on these, as air started to flatten out the flavors a little too…
Toss this thing down in Davy Jones' locker for the next decade and wait for it to find a pulse. Balled-up tight as a drum, this wine offered very little in terms of fruit flavor or complexity at the…
Biting black cherry, red and black currant, and asphalt. A flat, stinging mid-palate wards off any real depth of flavor. Finish is completely clipped. After two hours of air in the glass, it showed…
Seeing as how I'm the only one writing about this wine, I might as well just keep going. Frothy (but not too much so) purple plum, black raspberry, and black cherry notes. Just the right amount of…
Previous notes apply. A lot of Amarena black cherry syrup, viscous cassis, and fresh vanilla bean notes dripping from this wine. It took a couple of hours to settle down a bit. PnP was a bit cloying,…
Man I give up trying to gauge these Buccellas... Some of my previous bottles were awesome. The last bottle I had in December was a wreck. This bottle was fantastic. The December bottle was perhaps…
Previous notes apply. Big and brash, thick and chewy, sappy and slutty. Even too much for my blood. I found myself having to tolerate it more than enjoying it. 91 points if taking the "style…
Pleasant and giving, with ripe lemon curd, popcorn, and vanilla flavors. A touch simple, but kicking out just the right amount of flavor. Purity of fruit is notable, especially given the QPR. Love it…
Easy-going notes of frothy watermelon, pink grapefruit, orange rind, and dough. A little yeasty and overly carbonated, but a decent enough conversation sipper nonetheless. Short and somewhat clipped…
A cutting and enticingly biting specimen, with white and yellow citrus, green apple, white flowers, lees, limestone, gray slate, and hints of almond dust. A lot of energy here, with a swift delivery…
Signature notes of dark, black core fruit: blackberry, blueberry, black raspberry, dark black plum, burnt embers, earth, coffee grounds, anise, black rock, and violets. This wine has an extremely…
A stunning and utterly classy bottle of wine, with a sophisticated rolling thunder attack of exquisite red and black currant, black cherry, dark plum, earth, coffee grounds, tobacco, aged leather,…
