The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Capita is a blend of fruit from the premiers crus En Ergot, Corbeaux and Combottes, supplemented—if I understood Jean-Louis Trapet correctly—by a visual selection of small-berried clusters from Petite Chapelle and Clos Prieur which are not destemmed.
A unique blend of Upper Galilee- Mount Meron- vineyards. Grapes were manually and selectively harvested at dawn, from carefully selected plots on the northern slopes of the mountain, which enjoy an ideal climate for growing high-quality, noble grape varieties. Dedicated care and personal attention to the vines yielded perfect grape clusters, which underwent meticulous sorting upon reaching the adjacent winery and controlled, supervised fermentation. This precision let to superb extraction, which was aged in fine French oak barrels.
What a back-to-back pair of vintages! I assume one would have to go back to 2002 and 2001 to find two Screaming Eagles this compelling. The 2013 appears set for 25-30 years of longevity. There is something magical about this Oakville parcel on the valley floor just under the looming hillsides of such wineries as Phelps, Bacchus and Dalla Valle's Maya, and across the street from the Rudd Estate, Plumpjack, etc.
Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia is an absolute excellence, the only wine in Italy to have earned a specific DOC designation: Bolgheri Sassicaia DOC.With its enveloping, intense and exciting character, this wine is a true oenological legend.It is the best known in the world as it perfectly embodies balance in terms of body and complexity.It is produced on the Tenuta San Guido estate. Its unique, impervious terrain, limestone formations and high stony content (hence the name 'Sassicaia') have created the perfect conditions for this treasure of oenology to germinate.
The first impression of the luxurious "Yarden Rom" with a hint of its inspiring aroma points to richness. The "Yarden Rome" delicately and finely structured spoils the nose with characters of ripe red and black fruits. This wonderful bouquet, is accompanied by pleasant notes of dark chocolate, orange peel, dried flowers, anise, cocoa, smoke and earth. This opulent wine is full-bodied and shows concentrated scents and a very long, elegant finish.
Fantastic aromas of dark berries, sandalwood and Spanish cedar that are ever so deep. Full body, an incredible spin of polished tannins and bright acidity. Incredible depth. Like looking over the edge of a skyscraper. Powerful and structured.
