Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

94 is singing out of the bottle, at its prime. Integration at its best and a lot of that character you expect out of Vega retained. Not shy at all. — 10 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

A bit wound up on nose, still smoky with fresh blackcurrant and elderberry, pine bough, tangy orange and tobacco leaf. Very woodsy, but also quite shy...palate is hugely mineral and mouthcoating, touch of spice, monumental and fresh, long length. No doubt quite excellent, but not showing its arsenal today...wait 5 years at least if you have such patience! — 10 years ago

Anakota

Helena Montana Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Another one from my favorite winery. Had a more memorable tasting with the Dakota than the Montoya, but the Montoya offers a punch in the face bold cab that's hits like a Bordeaux — 10 years ago

Emidio Pepe

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 1978

Shy at first, this took off like a rocket. Soaring aromatics, beautiful palate. — 10 years ago

E. Fuligni (Cottimelli)

Fuligni Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2001

Very shy at first while showing its earthy side. However, this was the only of the three wines for dinner that elevated itself with cuisine. Took about two hours for voluptuous fruit to come out. Definitely the elegant side of Brunello — 10 years ago
