Brett Dennen

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2010

Youngest Raffault I've ever tasted. Classic expression with a very slight Brett note but wound up very tight. Decant, decant, decant or wait. — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

This is finally shedding it's tannin. Took a little while for the Brett to blow off but under that was nice dark fruits with some tinderbox aromas and smoke. A more primal Latour, but still a great Pauillac. — 11 years ago

Jealous, was my last one Matthew. Looking good now, plenty of life left! I'd hang off a few more years.

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

Body medium +, Brett, menthol, pepper, strawberry, cherry, earthy, oak. A bit "hot". Bottle is atypical. You can't see content. Great with beef deli. Grown at high altitude. 13.5deg. A very pleasant surprise! Don't buy a bottle by its label. — 10 years ago

Floral aromatics with some notes of anise and currant. A little Brett on the palate- but integrated. Cherry cord on the finish with some beautiful tannins. Drink now. — 11 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2006

2006. Just getting into gear with plenty of time to go. A good bottle with no brett, great structure and lovely balance with the acidity providing the scaffolding for the fruit. Great with a soy sauce and bourbon- marinaded flank steak. — 11 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Lots of brett for one hour. Then super depth with lots of graphite. Still a lot of fruit. — 11 years ago

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2010

Great unfiltered Chinon, tart raspberry-rhubarb, pepper, some bottles seem to show a little more Brett than others. — 11 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

A sincerity to this wine, an old world drinker's delight. New world lovers may not be flattered by this. Also, super clean, no Brett. Will still make it for AT LEAST 10 years. — 13 years ago
