A beautiful classic Right Bank Bordeaux smooth, velvet texture with notes of dark plum, black cherry and a little cocoa. Medium to full body elegant rather than jammy. Best pairing with filet mignon, roast lamb. Elegant, smooth and beautifully balanced. — 4 months ago

1990 vintage. Low neck fill. Opened with a Durand but not decanted. Cork 45% saturated but in good shape. Both darker color and slightly less sediment than expected. Secondary and tertiary nose but (still!!??) some primary and ripe cherry and plum flavors in the front and mid-palates. Consistent palate push without any potholes, gaps or regrets. Phenomenal tobacco and fudge notes in the caboose. Based on this baddy, can hold steady for another 5-6 years before a scoring recalibration. Not the biggest Pomerol fan but this didn’t suck. 3.20.26 — 6 months ago

First meeting of monthly wine group and everyone came to play.

Nose: areomatics draw you in with ripe dark fruit, floral, forest floor, truffles. Taste: Elegant, silky, balanced wine with cherry, smoke, toast, earth, and a medium plus plum/cedar/chocolate finish. YUM!! — 8 months ago

Showing more sweet cacao than other examples of this wine I’ve tasted. Losing some vibrancy as well. Still enjoyable but probably not for long. — 9 months ago

Still somewhat tight and primary. A dense and masculine Pomerol. Needs more time. — 10 months ago

2016. Merlot-based Bordeaux. Rich purity of fruit makes it very approachable for a young wine. Firm tannins up front melt into sappy purple fruit. Some minerals and stone but a fairly one-dimensional fruit bomb at this point. $43 at Bottle King. — 5 years ago

This is very nice wine.
Listening to The Strokes and wondering where rock n roll went. It's completely vanished. I mean new rock bands- they don't exist. The charts are dominated with this disgusting pop/rap/country mashup. Somebody please name a solid rock band (that the masses know about) that has formed in the last 5 years. — 4 months ago

Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2022 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. This was like a home-cooked holiday dinner. What to load the plate up with first? So much good stuff. Tons of fruit and tannins and already showing great balance even though it just started walking. Resto cost? That’s the best part. $38 a btl. Sign me up. 3.18.26. — 6 months ago

Popped and poured while I prep dinner. Nice medley of red and dark fruit, with bitter tobacco leaf and soil. Well balanced, juicy and chewy and very good.
