Cota 45

Arbe Garbe

Sonoma County White Blend 2016

Oooo baby. Floral and seductive on the nose. Perfumed; jasmine, lime blossom, lavender, poached pear, candied citrus, nectarine, grapes, sweet herbs, cream, a kiss of honey. Palate starts out with juicy fruit character, then suddenly moves to pith, wet stones, olive, and a savory element that I find in so many Friuli-blends with Ribolla. While grippy and enticing there’s a richness on the mouthfeel that makes this wines feel so classy, very soft approach with the oak here. 45 Malvasia Blanca, Ribolla Gialla 30, 25 Friulano. — 7 years ago

Aberlour Distillery

A'bunadh Batch 45 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Spicy oaks, mixed with condensed brown sugar, strong personality, powerful and enjoyable. Aftertaste of zest and spice. She bites your tongue and throat for sure. But I feel she is a bit overpriced. — 8 years ago

Those cask strength burn on the way down, I had that one. Definitely needs a splash or rock.

2010. A classic Chateauneuf-Du-Pape from a historic vineyard. Needs to breathe at least 45 minutes--could age a little longer. — 7 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1945

Tasted blind. Ruby color. Almost opaque. Young fruit forward nose. Notes of plums, mocha, dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and some exotic thing like eucalyptus. So rich and vibrant in the mouth. A forever finish. This wine took us in all directions. Immortal. Stan's 60th will always be remembered for the 45 Latour vs 45 Mouton mano y mano battle. A wine life moment for sure. — 8 years ago

Great notes. What a memorable night.

Realm Cellars

The Bard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Total beast. Did a quick double decant since it's 12 years old but should have let it open for a couple of hours. Eye watering nose of dirt, nutmeg, cinnamon, bramble, and camphor. Massive palate with plenty of fruit and tannin left. 45 second finish. What an awesome cab blend! — 9 years ago

I've only had a few @Shay Aldriedge , but all were amazing. Especially the Beckstoffer. Older vintages on the secondary market are pretty reasonable too.
