Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Deep, dark with structure and balance. Drinking it next to Opus One(1st world problems). At first it seems a little tight and savory., over time tannins are softening and some nice fruit is coming out. And the Opus fruit is lessening and and taking more Bordeaux like quality. Both delicious and appreciated. — 9 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1991

The 91 Dominus is the greatest Dominus produced and I have had every vintage since it's inception in 83. The group all thought it was a 1st Growth guessing 82 a Mouton. One of the best Cali's ever made. — 11 years ago

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2009

1st CS for me that's this big and round, neat mineral infusion around a core of citrus, apple and peach pie, with a certain oily viscosity that was beguiling. The nose was fresh, a hint of burnt banana. Ready to drink. — 9 years ago

Château Margaux

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everyone! Please have a safe and fun weekend with family and friends.

This wine I had today is the second vintage of the 3rd label from Chateau Margaux. A blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc. Almost a year ago I had the pleasure of having the 1st vintage of this 3rd label the 2009. The 10' is not quite up to the same level as the 09' but still has a lot of the same characteristics.

The aromatics are very pronounced with notes of black currant, kirsch, baking spice, roses, violets and a minerality.

The palate is silky smooth as I remember the 09' well balanced, black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, mocha, and some black pepper.

There is nice vibrant medium + acidity, grippy fine medium + tannins. A very lovely wine just lacks the finesse of the 09'

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

My 1st perfect score of 2015. This was magical stuff worthy of all the descriptive writing that come with the rating. So I'll save those reading it the time. Take a moment out of your day, and sit down and crack one of these open with somebody you love. You will enjoy what is prob one of the best bottles of Bordeaux you can drink right now. When this is showing well it's amazing. 100pts — 10 years ago
