Crowned Glory

Dirty & Rowdy

Shake Ridge Ranch Mourvedre 2013

I'm upping my rating on this. Wine needed air to show its full glory. Today, it's blowing dark fruit, tree bark, big cinnamon and dark spice - yet, it remains fresh and vibrant. It still reminds me of really good Cru Beaujolais but the Mourvèdre character is more present. Yum! — 9 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

A bit tired with noticeable VA. First few whiffs still showed its former glory though. Fully mature with tertiary notes dominating. Lovely. — 10 years ago

Brut Rosé Blend

I was pleasantly surprised by this sparkling blend of 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. The 2011 Mineral Springs Brut Rosé has spent three years en tirage, further it's hand riddled and production is limited to 50 cases. Salmon-hued with a delicate mousse, it's a lovely juxtaposition between fruit and brisk acidity. Racy tangerine and fresh raspberry notes lead into a base layer of cherry clafoutis crowned with a dollop of cream. A mineral-driven finish laden with chalk and crushed stone cut through mid-palate richness. 12.8% ABV — 9 years ago

Henri Jayer

Échezéaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1988

Domaine Henri Jayer Echézeaux 1988: Lush and silky, bursting with sweet black fruit and a commanding, complex perfume of Asian spice, musk, and minerals. Wines from the late, legendary Henri Jayer represent a singularly heightened benchmark for Burgundy and Pinot Noir. They are Led Zeppelin conquering the Garden in 1973 or Kurt Cobain rasping behind the stargazer lilies: pure glory, glorious purity. beetroot and menthol on the nose, velvet on the tongue, and exhilaration in the heart. Wines like these make even the most law-abiding drinker contemplate a life on the lam. — 10 years ago

Le Montmain Cote-Rotie Syrah 2012

We drank it soon after a transport, so the wine was a bit closed and in-expressive. And way too young. But still signs of glory that will come. Rich dried fruit, earth and olive. Fuller body and booze, plenty of fruit to age. Look forward to drinking the one I stowed away years down the road. — 10 years ago

Cuvée Tradition Gigondas Grenache 2010

Late night. Eating jambon royal and sheep's milk chevre. 2010 gigondas in all its glory. This wine is phenomenal. Earthy and floral. Almost like a great garden. But also has dense delicious fruit. Just can't say enough good things. Sent me to bed with a smile. — 10 years ago

So quiet and understated at first. 4 hours later I see the wine was just a wallflower at the start . A glory to taste, walking on the edge. Richness in the middle surrounded from the front and back by a piercing clarity. — 10 years ago
