Château Clos de Sarpe

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1955

Cedar wood, cigar box, dried sweet tobacco, bottled nutmeg, oolong tea. Antique garnet color with highlights of citrine. Beautifully integrated, balanced 61-year-old wine with a youthful subtlety from the remaining acidity. Dinner celebrating years of friendship with François, Marie Claude, Fanie et Nicolas. — 10 years ago

Brand

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Allowed a full decant for an hour and then drank with my two friends from the best wine shop in St. Emillion, owner Bruno (twin brother of Philippe that is winemaker at Ausone) and Nicolas. I've purchased and drank many great wines from and with them in the last decade. Obviously I wanted their honest opinion about BRAND. I'm excited to tell you that they were very impressed. — 11 years ago

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

"I make wine at Lafite and Latour, but my heart is at Calon"... I can see why Nicolas Alexandre Marquis de Segur said these iconic words after having this wine in my glass. The nose is so inviting with warm spice, cigar smoke, embers, and toast. Raspberry syrup, plums, vanilla, and toffee on the palate. Nice thread of smoke throughout with nice balancing fresh fruit. What an enjoyable wine! 20 months in new oak - obviously the more accessible style the new owners are going for... the Pinot the other night gave an experience, this one tells a story. — 10 years ago

Maison Nicolas Perrin

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2010

Dark purple burgundy in color, smells of savory meaty component, blackberry, cardamom, white pepper, tobacco and fig, balanced acidity wets your mouth, full body with round mouthfeel,tastes of black cherry, pepper, licorice, black tea and roasted suckling pig, medium to long finish, excellent structure and way too easy drinking.
This is a negotiant operation teamed up by the Jaboulet family in the north and Perrin family in the south to produce Northern Rhône AOC and none-AOC varietal wines.

Domaine Les Pins

St. Nicolas de Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2012

The aroma and flavor are quite tricky to describe because not like any other flavors we commonly know, but the most pronounced aspect of the wine is its texture, which is soft, so much so that it's first touch on the palate is almost unnoticeable, but then it builds, specifically with the emergence of tannins and an ever so slight spiciness. I want to believe however that the aroma and flavor are ineffable because they're only comparable to other wines from the Loire--it's not cherry or black pepper or whatever--rather, it's simply a great wine representative of its terroir. It just tastes like wine to me, and a great wine. It should also be noted that it's not rich--it's instead quite subtle. — 11 years ago

Solid Pinot with beef Bourgogne. Nice fall dinner with 70 degree weather. Wine had nice fruit and very smooth. — 11 years ago

Nicolas Badel

Saint-Joseph Syrah

All st. Joseph elements in good balance here. Brand new black leather seats on the nose, juicy, bright, not blown out at all, a little bloody, a little mineral laiden. A sommeliers dream for a rack of lamb on the menu. With a nice salinity in the food this is heavenly. — 11 years ago

A great combination! Dittmers merguez, potato pancakes and roasted romanesco went with this olive and dark fruit Cab Franc perfectly. Why do we try and pair over ripe Rhone with merguez when we know that we don't like it? Let there be acid! — 11 years ago
