Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2017

Pretty volatile soon after pouring. Calmed down with some time in the glass. But still unlikely to please everyone. The carbonic maceration is evident. With all of this, I ended up finding it to be an interedting and enjoyable expression of terroir. — 9 months ago

Peter Martin Ray Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

One of my favorite cabs of the year. Higher acidity, lower ABV, and finer tannins for a very drinkable, elegant cab that isn’t overly ripe and juicy. — 4 years ago

Don’t know much about this wine other than it being tight and tannic AF even after hours of being open. Chewy. Dark. Brooding. Young. Give it at least 5yrs of a full day of decanting! — 7 years ago

The first 30 minutes were like licking the inside of an oak barrel, sans splinters. The wine really didn't show for a few hours, but once it did it would have fooled people into thinking that it was a $100 wine.

I’m a long time fan of Martin and have visited the estate. Excellent Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

Damien Laureau

Le Bel Ouvrage Savennières Chenin Blanc 2011

How have I not had this wine in my life before? Leafy green tones, dizzying array of orchard and citrus fruits, all super bright and ripe, fresh mushrooms, ginger candy, fresh soil, wax, and stones. Mouth coating and dense. Acidity is persistent but not searing. Balanced from start to finish. — 10 years ago

Decanted and aerated. Not much bouquet but some spicy berries. Delicate mild dark berry middle and then finishes with that long old world earthiness. Dry dry finish. Perfect with apple topped pork. — 9 months ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1966

Delectable Wine
9.2

One encounter with an ex-château bottle suggested that the 1966 Lynch-Bages is not to be overlooked. Deep in color, it has a tempting nose that unfolds gradually in the glass, graphite and cedar commingling with crushed stone and red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm entry, very cedary with touches of desiccated orange peel. It's a bit conservative on the finish, though that is a leitmotif of the 1966 vintage. Well-preserved bottles should still be giving pleasure. Tasted at the Lynch Bages vertical. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2023) — 2 years ago

Have you had the VV? Even better. I don't think we have it, but they probably do at CSW. I think you'd dig it.
