Norma Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2011

On a snowy New York evening, this Etna proved to be rounded enough with bright red fruit held together by the wine's acidity. It grows nicely on you as the evening gets even colder. — 8 years ago

Cantina Bartolo Mascarello

Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

2004 vintage. From Jay. 2004 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. Dark ruby colour. Fresh violets on the nose together with cherries. A little tobacco wrapper. Cracked cloves. Nice fruit on the pallet and very silky. This is both elegant and old school in all the right ways. 92+/100. Drink 2017 to 2028+ — 9 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Amazing and delicious vintage that has held up well. Rich tawny notes of caramel, ripe fruits, and smoke. Distinctly port like in its body and profile. Medium high acidity and lighter body surprises. — 8 years ago

Hanzell Vineyards

Sonoma Valley Pinot Noir 2012

Hanzell is consistent with their held back more elegant Burgundian style while still allowing depth in their wines. The red fruit, slightly tart, is present without overpowering the palate. — 9 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

1998 vintage has held up really well! With my buddy Gibby and wife. Let it decant over several hours and it opened up beautifully. Cedar, leather and mineral on the nose. Long finish with full body. Wish I has 10 moe bottles. — 10 years ago

Kick Ranch Vineyards Home Run Cuvée Grenache Blend 2009

Lovely Syrah blend. Held up beautifully to hand cut NY strip. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Grand Tinel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

Poured through a Soirée and decanted for 30 minutes. Beautiful garnet robe. The funk hits you first and I like that. Wet hay and bright brambles with black pepper and garrigue. Delightful still on day three. Tannins and acid to round out. Balanced with the 15% ABV held in check. Loads of life in this yet. Hold or enjoy with patience now. Four bottles remaining and I'll get more if I can. — 11 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

1968 Vina Rēal Cosecha Gran Reserva Temperanillo blend. Drank this at Reddwood lunch for A&S' birthday. Hard to believe this wine was almost 50 years old. We didn't decant this and it was great- held up perfectly. Gorgeous brick color, still fruit on the nose, elegant and slightly sweet finish. So fun to try! — 9 years ago
