Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

2002 vintage which has been a maligned Rioja vintage. This is the perfect example of producer being the trump card. Excellent as always! — 12 years ago

I actually brought 1981's to a dinner at the Corson Building here in Seattle a few years ago. The Bosconia was the winner by the slightest margin. Actually everybody won who drank them.

Great way to say vintages mean less when you have a great producer!

I am not a fan of Pinot Noir but this one is delicious. Almost as bold and big as my favorite Washington reds. — 13 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.
