Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

I love the Echo label made by Lynch, and this was a power house of a Bordeaux. Brick wall of tannin even 4 hours later and after 60, yes, 60 hours of decanting, the flavors being masked by high acidity and tannin of a young wine finally had their 15 seconds of fame. Dark rich flavors of creme-de-casis and blackberry tart, and gravelly minerality, with a toasty oak undertone and still finishing with a firm tannin but just more enjoyable than right out of the bottle. — 10 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2004

This 2004 was simply amazing. The group of 6 of us enjoyed the first bottle from the case so much we drank 4 more.... Paired well with a simple salami (pork, donkey, beef, pepper, salt, and garlic) and a local bread. — 11 years ago

S.A.T. Camaretas

Frontón de Oro Malpais 4 meses en Barrica Gran Canaria Preto Blend

Miguel de Leon
9.0

Wine from Gran Canaria's "badlands" -- violets, juicy juice, nice kick at the end. Can do with a slight chill below cellar and even more stellar with food from the grill. — 10 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2004

Nice, classic Beaucastel but still quite tight and needs a lot more time. Will try to wait another 4 more years before trying the next bottle. — 11 years ago

Great year but perhaps still too young.
