Everything about this BSR is perfect right now. Certainly, one of my favorites and the start of Christmas dinner makes it all the better!!! The fruit is sensational strawberries, black raspberries, raspberries, watermelon, touch of tangerine, the acidity so fresh and perfect, powdery gentle chalkiness, soft minerals and a finish I simply love. — 9 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2011

Showing a touch of integrated wood and lots of big black cherry fruit, with good persistence and a nice dry finish. Excellent now but should be better in 2-3 more years. — 9 years ago

Darn. Not showing tonight. Dominated by acid and tannin. Fruit just isn't ripe enough to hold up. Did better with food — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1960

9.2

1960 was for kind of forgotten close to the nice 1959 and 1961 vintages - but the wine still handle well, with a light profile, a nice experience from a nice gift, maybe 60 was better for the Beatles !? However it feels kind of younger than 1960 at first sight, an off vintage in good shape but will get soon enough to its peak 😐 — 11 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Old school. Has some of that over extracted warmth but nothing compared to the Napa Valley juice from the same year. Nice leather tones. Good stuff. Will only get better with age. On the upward slope. — 9 years ago
