I had this wine with my brother Steve at the Capital Grille in Paramus, N.J. on 3/19/15. Another Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. It was very nice. A little pepperish but very smooth with a clean crisp finish. Not too bold or overpowering. Pleasant after taste. — 10 years ago

Really enjoyable. Full of fruit. Oak is there but does not dominate. Preferred this to Marcassin 3 Sisters by a wide margin — 10 years ago

Château La Tonnelle

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Daniel P. Drake

9.0

Tonight we had family over for dinner and my brother in-law and I opened this very nice 2005 Bordeaux. A Bordeaux Superieur that drinks like a more expensive Bordeaux. The nose started out very hot with lots of alcohol. After letting set for about 30 minutes a nice black cherry started to come forward along with stewed prunes, some licorice, tar, and a smokey oak. On the palate the cherry, licorice, black currants and prune/raisins. A very silky smooth mouth feel with minimal tannins. I believe I picked this up for around $17-18 bones. Very nice and should last another 3-4 years. — 11 years ago

Excellent visit down to the bottom of the Cotes de Blancs; to see Charles Fourny of Veuve Fourny et Fils; fifth generation maker in Vertus; 500 ha region and one of the largest appellations in Champagne; with his passionate double, brother Emmanuel; tasting modern grower Champagne based on chardonnay; with texture to avoid high dosage; typically 3-6; and one zero; time and preciseness make the difference; plus 40% reserve wines for palatability; this is the House NV; #champagne #vertus #veuvefourny #grandereserve #blancdeblancs #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtour #france2015 — 10 years ago
