Drank 1/18/19 at the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux event in Miami.  All wines from the 2016 Vintage.

Tasting pour, no formal notes taken.  Most of these wines are very tight, and will require 5-15 years to really come together.  Many will likely improve a few points with time.

Delicious dark fruit, but I preferred the Pichon Lalande. A stunning wine nonetheless. Will age many years. — 8 years ago

WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!

Another surprise of the night for me. I’ve only had their Syrahs before. Lots of crushed potpourri and underripe red fruit on the nose with a darker palate of violets, black cherry and plum. I need to get some of these. Awesome bottle, @Bill Bender . — 8 years ago

Drank 7/12/18. Tasing event.

Tar and black fruit on the nose. Flavors of big jammy red fruit with some blueberry mixed in. Some tannins on the fruit driven finish

3/24/6/3/3 +50 = 89 pts.

Needs a nice steak to mix with the jamminess — 8 years ago

Our monthly 4th Friday event at the storage facility. No requirements, just wine you want to share with others! Always an enjoyable time.

Gap's crown may be my favorite vineyard for Pinot. The fruit that comes out of here is so powerful and in your face. KB is able to get a bit of restraint out of this, but it can't fully tame it. This is a wild beast. Blackberries. Nutmeg. Birchwood. Solid backbone. Serious pedigree can be tasted throughout! — 9 years ago

Very polished wine. Needs a few years for tannins to integrate but it's got all the components to be an amazing bottle. At the release event. — 10 years ago

Drank 5/16/19. Sparkling wine tasting event. Tasting pour.

A dryer style, with yeast, brioche, and toasty notes on the nose. Flavors of caramel apple, vanilla, and toast. Medium finish. Quite nice. Enjoyed this more on this occasion, than in the past.

Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.

Greatest LB vintage yet? Sweet and crunchy cranberry, dark cocoa dusted bay leaf, saddle leather, tar/old pipe tobacco. A distinct smoked herbal note towards the back of the palate and in to the finish. 28yrs young and full of life! What a bottle, @Shawn R . — 8 years ago

Night 1 of the Fall WNH event in San Antonio. What a killer start to the extended weekend, all courtesy to Shawn and Jennifer for hosting! Tonight was Italian wines.

Another in the running for WOTN. Maple and rich! Cherry and vanilla tobacco on the nose with herbal spice and a strawberry tart finish. Young and acidic! There is a very underripe red fruit dominant profile here. Crazy how young it tastes for 23yrs old. Bravo @Shawn R ! — 8 years ago

If I told you the color of this wine you would think I was lying. It looked like it was maybe 10yrs old...it was 41! Mark was kind enough to open this after I mentioned I was attending a Chappellet dinner tonight. Leather, oil and dusted cherry. Menthol, integrated tannins, and still has a voluptuous mouth feel. Astounded that this showed as well as it did! — 9 years ago

Liked this one overall from last year's Capital Grille yearly wine event. Now a year later, the Mt Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon still is a silky wonder with blueberries and violets on the nose. — 10 years ago

Nestled between stellar vintages (2004 & 2006) is this 2005 star. I was able to find discounted at Sam's Club! Like all Brunello's, you must decant for at least 30 minutes. Once you do, the consistently 90+ rated pedigree emerges that will make an event or evening more memorable. There are more expensive Italian wines, but a bottle of Casanova di Neri Tenuta Nuova has never disappointed. Cheers! — 11 years ago

A baby, but already strutting its power. This is no doubt a modern take on Bordeaux with more rich/sweet black and blue fruit than others, but it reigns in before it gets too Nap-esque as the fruit is more underripe. Mid palate and finish show dark chocolate, bay leaf and a touch of leather. Because of the style, not too adverse to opening now with a 2-3hr decant, but this will improve for many years. Bravo, @Mike R . — 8 years ago

WNH event number 3...new world Pinot. Such a treat to experience the many different variations of Pinot!

The most Burgundian styled Pinot of the night. I thought it was fantastic, and still has another few years to get even better. No candied notes, more underripe red fruit (cherry and rhubarb), potpourri, graphite on the nose. Acidity is great. Not quite lean, but not a fruit bomb Pinot. Sage and herbal. Awesome, @Joe Lucca . — 8 years ago

Great balance between the yeasty, nutty aromas and apple, mineral notes. Super fine bubbles, creamy texture followed by a precise acidity that cleans everything up perfectly. Thinking I'll need a magnum of this for New Years... — 11 years ago
