| 734 | 733 | France | This wine is extracted and tough. The acidity does come through to help out, although it still has a hard edge with some bitter toast. It will soften, leaving some perfumed fruit for the future. | | 85 | 40 | Burgundy | Chorey-lès-Beaune | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Domaine Poulleau Père et Fils 2014 Chorey-lès-Beaune | Pinot Noir | Domaine Poulleau Père et Fils |
| 735 | 734 | Argentina | Raisiny and earthy on the nose, this Bonarda also offers damp aromas of fern and tobacco. Chunky, with a soft, flat palate, this tastes raisiny and stewed.

| 736 | 735 | Argentina | Oily, gritty aromas of almond skins set up a pungent but oily tasting palate.

| 737 | 736 | US | A rare miss for this winery, this bottling shows cooked red cherries, dust, vanilla and caramel on the somewhat hollow nose. The palate is almost overly rich with caramelized black cherry, fudge and chalky tannins. Patience will likely improve this one. | | 85 | 32 | California | Paso Robles | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Felten Cellars 2013 Tempranillo (Paso Robles) | Tempranillo | Felten Cellars |
| 738 | 737 | Portugal | This raspberry-flavored wine is soft and ripe. While it is fruity, it also has a nutty character that gives it a rich taste.

| 739 | 738 | Argentina | Roasted, stewed berry aromas are rustic and suggestive of grilled meat. This is high in acidity, and thus it feels sharp and edgy.
