Cota 45

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

Very nice @Eric Shanks. I've never experienced a Realm wine, but I always see great things about it.

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.

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1995

WOTN Left Bank blind tasting, deep cigar-box and cassis nose, lighter in body than my last tasting, it's gaining intensity and secondary stuff, mushroom, bright red fruit. 45 second finish. — 11 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

A bit of oxidation, but otherwise, just fine. Fruit still there. 1970, 45 year old wine for our 45th Anniversary. — 10 years ago

Château Lascombes

Margaux Merlot Blend 2006

砖红色,需要醒酒45分钟以上,否则有动物的气味。充分醒酒后毫无单宁涩感,有玫瑰香气。均衡度好。香气持久。 — 11 years ago

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

An incredibly precise Calon-Segur, almost certainly infanticide. Perfectly delineated layers of dark red fruit, already quite nuanced. Earthy and tannic finish that lasted 45+ seconds, a 95+ St Estephe in 5-10 years. Worth waiting. — 10 years ago
