  Cotes du Rhone AOC from Costco. Dominated by strong earthy character that masks other characteristics of a Rhone blend. **note - significantly opened up after a day. Too young. 78. one week ago by Jdp5q

  Pessagno Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 2010

  91 point buttery and smooth CA Chard. 14.6ABV too, but so well made the high alcohol is masked by the complexity here. one week ago by Ed's Wines

  Bila Haut Occultum Lapidem

  Dark as midnight sky, inky black. Long slow legs. Scents of dark ripe berries, a bit over extracted it seems, bitter chocolate, herbaceous, anise, cherry candy. Powerful, strong. Quite bitter actually, herbal, too primary, not everything in harmony. Over extracted feel, medium bodied. Alcohol is masked quite well. Good score for the price. Give it a good decant. Sweet ripe berries, stone, violet, incense, interesting nose. Taste of currants, ripe berries, hint of iodine. Better with air time. Tannins on the light side, must day alcohol is very well hidden. Finish of currants, oaky smoke. Smooth, quite silky. Good value. one month ago by Cheung R.
