Chateau Trois Origines 2005 St. Emilion 750ml (125078)
| IWC: 88-91 | WS: 89-91 |
|
Steven Tanzer (IWC): 88-91
ST: "(actually a marque, made from densely planted vines on a mix of soils, averaging 45 years of age; another Stephane Derenoncourt wine that should represent good value) Medium ruby-red. Pure aromas of black cherry and licorice. Sweet, sappy and fruit-driven, with juicy kirsch flavor and noteworthy depth. This offers lovely balance and finishes with broad, lush tannins. A blend based on 80% merlot."
Wine Spectator (WS): 89-91
JS: "Very perfumed with lots of blackberry and floral character. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity, creamy aftertaste. Score range: 89-91"

Bastianich Vespa Rosso 2005 Colli Orientali di Friuli 750ml (150985)
|
Cellar/Tasting Notes
The Bastianich estate red which balances power and finesse. 50% Merlot, with ripe fruit and a slightly newworld profile, the lush palate makes it drinkable now, though it will age well for the next 10 years. Uncommonly fruit-forward and structured for a "cold weather" red with spicy, earthy notes that characterize Friulian reds. Sharply reduced yields and small batch fermentation adds depth and complexity and elevates Vespa Rosso into the ranks
of world-class red wines.

Romitorio De Santedame Ruffino 2003 Tuscany 750ml (154032)
| WA: 91 |

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (WA): 91
"The 2003 Romitorio Tenuta di Santedame is easily the most interesting of these wines. A blend of 60% Colorino and 40% Merlot, it reveals complex, kaleidoscopic aromatics that develop beautifully in the glass leading to layers of sweet dark fruit, mint, herbs and toasted oak. Richly concentrated in the palate, it offers outstanding depth of expression and a long, sweet finish."
