St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Oak and spice aromas. Lots of oak. Darker red fruit and some black, lots of oak spice on the palate. Way too young right now. — 6 years ago

Cuvée Tour Joviac La Prieuré d'Arras St. Joseph Syrah 2014

This is a 100 % organic Syrah grown on decomposed granite hillsides in Saint Joseph, displaying violet, ripe black fruits with hint of dried blueberry, black pepper and vanilla. Slightly musky, dusty, med plus body with great acidity and med plus tannin. A wonderful Saint Joseph has depth, structure, and fruitiness. — 6 years ago

Domaine des Pierres Sèches Sylvain Gauthier

Cuvée Georges de la Tour Syrah

A poor man’s St. Joseph (and I ain’t rich). Peppery, minerally, blackberry fruit scents are lifted and wafty. Mouthfilling but lean, if that’s a thing. Great acids. — 7 years ago

Château Tour Coutelin

St. Estèphe Red Bordaux Blend 2011

A delightfully full bodied Bordeaux. Drank on its own it was very nice and would probably be better paired with red meat or dark chocolate. — 9 years ago

Château Tour Grand Faurie

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Young St. Emilion blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Red berries, plum and smoky notes. Medium to full bodied, chrisp acidity and some heat from alcohol. Still a little bit off, needs year or two to settle down. Don’t know can I wait so long for this very decent wine with excelent value. — 6 years ago

Domaine Ponsot

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1990

Tour d’Argent. Tawny, heavy color in the glass. The Somm smiles. I smile. The room smiles. This is killer juice that opens with a fragrant bouquet of ripe bing cherries, earthly spice, some sois bois, and some Asian spice. I’ve had this wine probably 10+ times and this is easily the best of them. Silky smooth. The nose is sexual. Killer juice. Worth the price. — 6 years ago

How does Notre Dame look from there? Wine list still good or picked over? Have fun.

In Feb there was scaffolding covering the rear. Now there is more scaffolding, some signs of the fire and no spire of course. Sad.

The list is still a monster. Old stuff is picked through but it’s all relative because mid 90s is now “old stuff”. If you know what to look for there are good options. Ps the food is significantly improved at TdA. Even better this time vs Feb. Worth a look again.

Château La Tour du Pin

Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

I had a bottle of this wine a while ago and it was spectacular: 94pts. The second, which I drank a few weeks ago, was very good, but not as good as the first one, but still pretty decent: 90 pts. On average 92. A fine claret by the owners of Cheval Blanc. — 8 years ago

Château Tour de Lagarde

St. Émilion Grand Cru 2009

Deep garnet purple in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis and graphite, echoed on the palate with a bit of additional black fruit. Medium acidity. Medium tannins. Lengthy, dark finish. Classic right bank Bordeaux that’s drinking very well now, but still has a few good years left. Filet with Bordelaise is a natural, but work your way out from there. — 6 years ago

Les Rousselots Cuvée de la Tour St Denis Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir 2017

Like Pinot Noirs? This one is not to be missed. Subtle, but velvety fruit you would expect from Bourgogne - but a slight tanginess on finish. Paired incredibly well with our walleye! — 6 years ago

Cru Bourgeois Medoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Smells smoky dark fruit. Not tart cherry. Ripe blueberry and chocolate. Very smooth and dry. Not spicy. Not tobacco. Not musty. Not earthy. Not sweet. I know what it's not. But not able to think of what it is. Very drinkable. I wonder how it will taste tomorrow. Medium body so should be good next day too. Some floral to it too. I enjoy it. One of my favorite regions. — 9 years ago
