A Feeling For

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

A softened ruby color. Beautiful balance, everything in harmony. Wet earth, raspberry, cinnamon, a whiff of truffle, intoxicating nose. So much ripe, fresh red fruit on the palate. Such soft tannins, damson plum, a mineral streak running through. Drinking a 15 year old wine for 15th anniversary of diabetes. This is splendid in the moment — 9 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

I have tasted many 1961 over the years, this continues to be one of my favorite wines...The strange thing is that this bottle with its high necklinewas the youngest 1961 that I had ever tried, wine had an great Providence - One owner and one incredible cellar.

1961 was a magical year on the right bank; now over 50 years of age it has lost some weight but picked up elegance on the nose - wet clay, graphite/lead pencil, umami/truffle - nose candy for sure.

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Really concentrated for a Pinot Noir. Dark plum compote, cranberry, black fig, clove and anise. Big, bold, tastes similar to a Zinfandel on the palate — 10 years ago

Folie à Deux

Ménage a Trois California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Great blend. I'm someone who prefers something a bit more dry, but would gladly have this bottle any day. Definitely recommend for people who are looking for something in between. Not too sweet, not too harsh. — 10 years ago

9.1

From magnum, and still a bit beefy around the middle, reflecting the vintage. Plush but with character, the perfect choice for those who generally find Beaujolais too thin. — 10 years ago

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1998

Love is blind tasting. A much better showing than the 89. Pleasant and smooth. Pleasant for $169 is just not worth the special occasion price. — 11 years ago
