Ever Seeking

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1953

Surprisingly youthful nose of luscious rich plummy baked dark red fruits and the most etheral sous bois and pipe tobacco I've ever smelled. The palate had poise and grace in its age, everything was in fantastic balance. The tannins are shockingly fine, adding the structure that is necessary to hold everything together. Simply superb. I can only hope I show as well as this when I'm nearly 65! — 8 years ago

Salon

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 2004

This has to be the most elegant champagne I have ever smelled and tasted, its nose is absolutely mesmerizingly fragrant, notes of white peach, honeysuckle, golden apple, Rivera pear and triple cream Brie cheese laced with hint of clementine and orange blossom, velvety mouthfeel with balanced acidity and micro fine mousse, tastes of baked apple, lime zest, honey, poached pear, bitter lemon, mineral, chalk and orange peel, absolutely silky texture with long and velvety finish, aftertaste of white peach & pear. — 8 years ago

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Amazing notes and acid touches beyond most any champagne I've ever had. Great limestone acid mouth feel. — 9 years ago

Dry Stack Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015

15' Bevan Dry Shack SB. The palate is full of pineapple, peaches, a citrusy dream! Nice entangled of acidity & lemon peel on the back of your palate. At this price point...it can't be beaten. A few more months in the bottle, will only help it. The best Bevan SB ever! 93+points. — 9 years ago

Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2012

What is this - a Sauv Blanc that's a Fume but unlike any Fume I have ever had. I can see how this wine made it to the Wine Spectators top 10 list. Complex, elegant, fresh, with fantastic acidity that left me wanting more after each sip. Amazing! — 9 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1940

What a beautiful person inside and out! I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to call him "Dad". Words can't adequately express how much I Love him. We opened a few bottles last night that I will hold near and dear to my heart forever. We are celebrating his completion of 6 rounds of chemo therapy in his battle against Prostate cancer. This is his 3rd time in the ring against this opponent and it appears that he's won with a unanimous decision by knockout at this time!!!!!! Love you dad!!!!! So proud of your strength through this process. My Father was born in 1940. A difficult year to say the least:
Germans entered Bordeaux in June of 1940. As dictated by Hitler himself, it was the sworn duty of each and every commander to search and seize whatever could be used for the advancement of the German cause. Bedlam broke out. Chateaux' were ransacked, wine cellars were looted if not used for target practice. The Chateauxs were forced to continue producing wines. It's poetic justice that Mother Nature provided the Germans with the worst growing season from 1940 to 1944!!!! The Germans left Bordeaux in 1944 to the cheers of the residents "Au Revoir Les Allemands"!!!! The 1940 bottle that we enjoyed this evening survived World War II. It Survived the ransacking, pillaging & plunder of countless German soldiers. It's outer capsule showed evident signs of its struggle but it's inner beauty was unblemished and glorious. I've had many, many vintages of Latour from 1928 and on but none have ever tasted as perfect as the one we enjoyed tonight. This 1940 was perfect. It was a fighter, it never gave up, it never relinquished in the face of adversity. That's my Father, that my role model. He's a beautiful person inside & out. I think 1940 is the best vintage that I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. Special thanks to my good friends Michael Troise whom provided me with much of the insights in regards to the incredibly difficult vintage and David Page whom gifted this bottle to me for our celebration this evening. I will never forget your generosity. It was a glorious evening to say the least!!! Wine has a way of bringing people together and encapsulating an evening and event. I couldn't think of a better way to rejoice in his victory than to open a Father & Son birth year wine.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

This is as good as Bordeaux gets. Pure perfection in a glass and got even better with an hour+ in the decanter. Wonderful earthy notes, Forrest floor, leather, spice, faint menthol and bell pepper, floral, cigar and some dark fruits finished with the kiss of God and a drop of angel tears. One of the few wines I've ever had that I would rate 100 and an epic experience. — 9 years ago

I am new to this forum so apologies if such contact is inappropriate. I know nothing about wines so greatly appreciate guidance A friend gave me a "Louis Roederer Champagne Reims France Brut Premier". She indicated she has had it unopened for at least 15 years this is probably a really dumb question. But is this too old. Thanks very much. John Michel
