Le Coste

Bianco Procanico Blend

An orange that works! Mediterranean Sea in a glass. Give me a spritz and slap my bottom. This thing rocks. But what else do you expect from Le coste x — 2 years ago

Emilio Bulfon

Venezia Giulia IGT Sciaglìn 2016

The producer is an octogenarian who works in Friuli and has dedicated his life to the discovery, preservation and promotion of near extinct grape varietals. This white has brightness with saline qualities and honey notes. Fresh and floral, it is a lovely wine for the summer.

One other thing: the cork is a composite of two different cork types, the traditional cork sadwiched between the reconstituted type. I don't think I've seen that before.

@James Forsyth I have seen that style of combo cork before... But can't recall the producer, you're right, it's not common.

@Severn Goodwin agreed. I can imagine that it has certain benefits. I'd be interested to know more. So much of our wine enjoyment rests in the hands of cork performance.

Caymus Vineyards

40th Anniversary Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

5th Coravin pour since 7/25/15, still great, starting to mature. Deep ruby red with compkex aromas of black fruit, herbs and vanilla spice. The wine opened with fresh sweet ripe dark fruit, blackberry and black cherry, with oak, leather and cacao. Well balanced, tannins continuing to develop nicely, slightly savory, finishing with sweet oak notes. My notes from my five pours using Coravin were very consistent, but now noticing the wine maturing. It really
works! Works! Check back in 6months, 1/3 bottle left.

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Krug Grande Cuvée in Double Magnum. Harry's Bar. 2004 base wine edition. Another great effort from the House of Krug. Toasty and elegant, fine bubbles, with a deepness to it that few champagnes can offer. Not at the level of the 2002 base as of yet, but delicious none the less. Acidity is balanced and works perfectly to enhance the aromas and overall long finish. Excellent as usual. I would probably hold for another 5-7 years before opening another large format from this edition. — 7 years ago

Mount Veeder Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

2016 opened Nov 2021. This wine is young and just beginning to be drinkable. I give an 8.9 more for what I think it can become rather than what it is now (8.7). Heavy tobacco, nettles, and blackberry on the nose. Light fruit on the front, blackberries and — and someone mentioned vanilla? — I get the vanilla stick flavor — that becomes bitter dark chocolate on the mid palate. Tannins on the front of the palate are soft and of a medium density — so it took me off guard when this wine hit me with a strongly bitter but acidic ending. I found a bit off putting. Ten amore years and I think those components will fade. Drink this with a seared ribeye steak, or maybe a rich double chocolate cake. It’s a pretty powerful tipple and I suspect it will overwhelm most other pairings. — 3 years ago
