Marcassin Vineyard Pinot Noir
Marchesi Antinori
Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1983
1983 - holding much better than equivalent Bordeaux. Rich, torrefaction - deep layers of fruit emerging through heaps of forest floor. — 8 years ago
Domaine Fabien Coche
Batard Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1982
Amazing. What a journey so far. Started off delicate, figure skater vibes, went through extroverted phases of oyster shell and white flowers, and has landed in butterscotch minute finish full meal zone. Wish I had more. Like watching a lifetime! (Or hopefully a third of one) #birthyear — 10 years ago
Château de Beaucastel
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010
Black cherry, almond and wet forest. Spectacular wine especially paired with braised short ribs. May I have another, please? 🍷🍷 — 7 years ago
Château Musar
Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007
Unique / Bordeaux style wine. Needs time to open and despite the age, would improve with decanting this wine. Old world nose, well balanced on mid palate with forest notes and wild berries. Medium finish — 8 years ago
R. López de Heredia
Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004
Dust, forest, Earth, spices. Wild. Took a day to unwind. — 9 years ago
Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1970
Drank with my buddies Geoff and Danny. It's amazing. Here is the thing when drinking next to a 70 R Mondavi CS you really see the Bordeaux wooly aromatic thing. Napa is so clean and offering of florals and fruits, yet the Bordeaux had the forest floor and wooly thing. Both awesome but night and day. — 10 years ago
Cupcake Vineyards
Black Forest California Decadent Red Blend 2013
Wow. Bold and smooth. Definitely spot on with the blackberry/cherry combination. Flavors of deep black cherry — 8 years ago
Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Past peak but still some nice cassis fruit and acid in there to go along with smokey forest floor notes. Clear quality as elegance. — 8 years ago
Black Forest Distillers
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin
Monkey 47 Dry Distiller Gin. Slightly hazy, water white, colourless. Pronounced intensity of perfume, juniper, lingonberry, violets, lavender, orange and grapefruit zest. With water added, more perfume and citrus notes to the fore. Dry on the palate. Warming alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavour intensity. Long finish. Very complex. Outstanding example of a premium gin. — 9 years ago

Gorgeous 2009. Sandalwood and slight forest underbrush. Drink now and over the next 5. Best one I've had in years. — 7 years ago
