Needs more time or a long decant. Tannins are still showing prominently.
30 min decant, minimum aromas. Traditional style. Cherry, floral violet, and smoke charcoal. Paired perfectly for pizza night in the outer banks — 7 years ago

Local brew on the first night, very good pilsner style beer, malty with a good finish. Good choice with the excellent jerk chicken! — 8 years ago

Happy Canada 150!!!!!! 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

This Canadian Bordeaux blend sits between the left and right banks. Fairly light on her feet but tannic and bold. Still, a nice wine! — 9 years ago

Long and complex, with lots of tropical fruit notes along with the oak, a bit sweeter than I would like. — 10 years ago

Pure Alentejo Soul! Quality price ratio is top! It aged for about 5 years at 14 degrees and darkness. Etc. was still a genuine wine at the time of the 2009 harvest. Now a days it unfortunately shifted to a rather commercial banks wine. — 10 years ago

Steak night on vacation in the outer banks.
Having an Idaho vs Napa cab comparison. We went to Idaho for a wedding in June and purchased some local wines.
2014 Split Rail Winery vs 2013 Chappellet Napa Valley cab.
This is massive at 15.6% abv with equally big blueberry, cassis, smoke, and touches of lavender. Very surprised by how well this wine was! This was $33 vs the $65 Chappellet price point. — 7 years ago

Left bank vs right bank WTF Group night. People paired up and poured wines in pairs with same vintage and opposite bank. Everything enjoyed blind.

@Delectable Wine : This is a Saint Emilion Bordeaux. I didn’t see it in the database.

This was a random pick by me at the local wine shop. JSuckling 95 and RParker 94. Unique right bank. After about 2hrs in the decanter, it had a bit of funk to it that many left banks have at pop and pour. Cali reminiscent. Dark fruit profile with dark chocolate. Dirty chocolate covered cherries, fleshy berries on the palate and fantastic aromatics.

Foot of the Andes Mountains on banks of Maipo River in Upper Maipo Valley, 650 meters above sea level, vineyard dates back to mid-19th century, when first pre-phylloxera French varieties were brought to Chile, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits & mineral notes, a blend of 92% Cab Sauv & 8% Cab Franc, aged for 15 month in French oak (65% new). On the palate flavors cherry & blackberry with powerful tannins, long finish, very tight, ending with mineral and tobacco notes. Needs ten years. Tasting Sample! — 6 years ago

The aromatics of this wine make it a hit from the beginning. Great acidity, lingers at front of pallet. Incredible florals. Enjoying with a Ceasar Salad at their tasting room on the banks of the Columbia. — 7 years ago

Vanilla and toasted caramel notes. Smooth and medium viscosity. You get a little of the Port finish at the end. When in St Augustine, drink what the successful pirates drink. This is not Captain Morgan's. — 9 years ago

Could have been better given the vintage but still a well made wine with plenty of gas in the tank. I always find Margaux sweeter than must left banks and thus chateau is no exception. — 10 years ago
