Surfing Delectable: What The Pros Are Drinking

Wine and Soul, Tawny 10 Year Old
"A real #winelover indulgence (or "péché mignon" as we say in France) - a glass of #portwine to finish everyday this 10Y old from Wine & Soul really exalt as one of the best on the market."
Rated 9.3

Rubrum Il Carpino Merlot 2007
"A beautiful garnet 100% Merlot wine from Il Carpino in Friuli VeneziaGiulia - as any great bottle shared with good friends - a very pleasing and mature wine #winelover marked by the aging 18 days of maceration in oak barrels of 24 months in large oak casks of Slavonia and four years in bottle it delivers intensity with a nice complexity "
Rated 9.3

De Sousa Et Fils Cuvée Des Caudalies Brut Rosé Grand Cru Champagne Blend NV
"A great Grand Cru Champagne made of 90% old vines Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir - A well balanced Champagne, a bit too "gourmand" maybe for me. The aromatic is focusing on delicate red berries."
Rated 9.1

Bodega Catena Zapata Nicolas Catena Zapata Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2004
"Made of 72% of Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% of Malbec, it spent 18 months in French oak barrel - and now more than 10 years in the jeroboam - what a treat it was to have this intense, elegant and rich wine - a unique moment shared with Laura Catena and the team of bodega Catena Zapata and for sure some local slow grilled Argentinian to perfect it."
Rated 9.6

Château Maugey Le Jean-Marc Red Bordeaux Blend 2002
"Another excellent example that there is still some little producers that make magic happen in Bordeaux for very good price - Merlot based with a bit of Malbec - starting to be mature, a great wine with character, length and a story - and it is organic. Thank you Jean Marc."
Rated 9.1

Quinta Das Carrafouchas Vinho Regional Lisboa Red Blend 2009
"The 2008 was a more complex - this 2009 is however a good and easy wine, and a good value for little money - ripe, smooth with marked tannins and food friendly."
Rated 8.6

Dow's Quinta Do Bomfim Vintage Porto 1999

Rated 8.9 

Niepoort Colheita Porto Port Blend 1999
