Château Maucaillou

Moulis en Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

THIS, surprisingly enough, is not dead. Definitely on the back slope but still legit. Forest floor, mushrooms, bbq chips?, nice acid. Not done yet. I dig. — 10 years ago

Kiser "En Haut" Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2010

Took a couple days for this wine to open up and to really start strutting its stuff. Vibrant, primary, dark cherry fruit tones meet pine forest, spice, and licorice nuances. With the extended aeration, an intriguing mineral note also developed. Svelte (12.8%), yet vivacious and intimating appealing future complexities. Would be fun try again in 8+ years. — 12 years ago

En Gobelet Red Rhone Blend 2011

Love this head-pruned goodness! Dark garnet in color it shows off red and black fruit with some nice meatiness from the Syrah. A plush, full bodied wine that nicely balances its fruit and savory flavors with rich tannins. — 11 years ago

But isn't bretty delicious when its balanced? It's like the boy with pimples & no athletic ability but tons of compassion and cutting smarts, or that chick with no tits but a great sense of humor and an incredible... attitude.

And I will definitely have to go back and re-taste this bottle, cause my memory shows no brett...
