Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1970

Sweet red berry fruits, with some earth, leather and spice, ethereal bouquet very elegant and a silky mouth feel. I love Palmer and rate the 70 equal to the 66. — 11 years ago

Incredible wine- before the clones took over the vineyard and the production shot up! I can only imagine how good it was out of mag!!!!

The Eyrie Vineyards

Melon de Bourgogne 2011

Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 11 years ago

Domaine de Chevalier

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

One of 16 "first growths" of Graves. 66% Cab, 25% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot. Bold, dark, and well-rounded. Definite winner, may have to stock up on this. — 13 years ago

Check out they're cute website; I suspect Rutger de Vink hired the same architect for his winery. They also both name drop that Dutch soil scientist Kees Van Leeuwen. Chevalier has got tha dreamboat Stéphane Derenencourt consulting as well.

Whoever is responsible, they seem to have the game figured out, as this expertly walks the line between satisfying and challenging. "Imported by Le Reine Importing, Selected by Sherry Lehmann."
