Despite the dumb name, this was a perfect afternoon sipper. Fresh, light and crisp. This pale pink wine is dry, has subtle berry flavors and is a touch tart. — 9 years ago

How else to warm up for a trade tasting of invigorating Champagne this afternoon? Penetrating Sercial Madeira from the year that brought us the Boy Scouts of America. If wine were merit badges perhaps I'd nearly be an Eagle by now... After this evening's tasting I'll have quite a heavy merit badge sash for Champagne -an obsession that can reach no surfeit -it becomes more fascinating and evermore nuanced. For the moment however I'm awash in crushed kumquats in honey, marmalade, hazelnuts and roast peanuts -all layered among so much more in one of the richest Sercial Madeiras I've tried to date. — 10 years ago

Sheer delight. The nose is hibiscus and ruby red grapefruit. The mouth is a complex and grippy adventure with grapefruit, red papaya, lychee. This is not a NZ Sauvignon by any means, despite those notes, it's a serious thinking wine to sip for days with or without food. — 9 years ago

This was a delight... the '05 is drinking so we'll right now it felt like much more of a "special" bottle than its price point. I need more of this! Had lots of sediment... def. decant for an hour or more. — 10 years ago

A very nice surprise. Didn't know the house, but it came as a smooth taste, delicate grape flavour mixed with berries and a slight fruity feeling along with the dryness of a hight spirited wine. Served at about 12 degrees celcius in the warm humid weather of Acapulco, an excelent choice for a a festive after meal delight. — 10 years ago

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career. — 10 years ago

Should have waited a year. But delicate and juicy life. Feel the strength of Morgon and the delicacy of beau. Cranberry, raspberry, smoked tannins. A delight but I need another. — 11 years ago

This afternoon at lunch we had open the 2011 Chateau Lynch Bages. 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. A very productive and enjoyable lunch.

At open the nose was quite muted. We had to vigorously swirl in order to get the notes of dark fruit, dark cherry, chocolate, tobacco, herbal notes, and a minerality.

On the palate the dark cherry comes through nicely with dark plum following to the mid palate, blackberry, black currant, tobacco, a fine licorice and mocha.

This is a full bodied wine with medium + acidity, medium + chewy tannins which leads to a long enjoyable finish. It all worked together well with the New York Strip Steak that was a true delight.

Continue having a wonderful week and please, nothing is more important then your safety. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 years ago

Worth the wait.Complex, big Rioja that begs for protein. A masculine ideal more on the lines of LdH's Bosconia than Tondonia. A delight! — 11 years ago

A delight. Deep with some minerality... tannic but not biting... very drinkable, but not boring at all. Managed to complement octopus with Calabrian chiles just as well as pappardelle with morels in butter sauce. Som. mentioned the fruit's soil had a volcanic ash to it. $70 at Babbo. — 11 years ago
