The prince and his magic caves FTW, as usual. 1993 botte 25 Malvasia. Marzipan, marjoram, wet chalkboard, bee pollen, and old parchment. A stunner. — 7 years ago

Always notice this one on the J. Alexanders chalkboard. Amazingly sharp bouquet. Really excellent smoky flavor. Deep ruby color matched by its intensely rich mouthfeel. Really liking this lively Napa Green Certified Cab. — 8 years ago

Definitely a cut above the chalkboard Shiraz. More depth. And definitely better than the wolf Blass yellow. — 9 years ago

Medium gold in the glass, this wine smells of wet chalkboard, vanilla, and camphor. In the mouth, toffee and dried citrus peel mix with dried herbs and a slightly bitter amaro quality. — 9 years ago

Has the apricot, unripe stone fruit flavors. Sweet Meyer lemon and orange. Nice citrus notes. Chalkboard. Slate minerals, slopes like the crumbling slate. Bone dry. The acid keeps this thing going for a while. — 9 years ago

Château Simard

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Sawdust and old chalkboard on the nose. Light and subtle with the first taste then builds through the middle that is bold, but without the fresh fruit notes from new world wines. The finish has a distinct minerality that accents the age of the wine. — 8 years ago
