First bottle of 2024! Purchased at Total Wine and enjoyed last night. — 4 months ago

Crowley

Four Winds Willamette Valley Chardonnay 2012

Fuhk, still super fresh with lovely arc of acidity coursing through creamy, yet clean, meyer lemon, white peaches, and on and on. Well done Tyson! — 5 months ago

Place of Changing Winds

Colbinabbin Vineyard Syrah

Lovely poise and balance for a Heathcote Shiraz and very much in the Syrah style. Great now and will reward another 5+ years in in a good cellar. — 3 years ago

Maybach Family Vineyards

Materium Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Others liked this better but I’m saying it had a slight raisin aftertaste to me which has shown up recently. I’m thinking to drink these quick but to be fair they have not been in a cold cellar so expected a faster age. — 4 months ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2016

Not really fair to rate this now, so damned primary. Dark cassis and coarse cocoa, dark red fruit. Even after an hour not totally sorted but the quality burst through at the back of the palate where it lingered for >a minute. Would love to see this in 10 years. — 3 years ago

Château La Vieille Cure

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Did a blind taste off with this and a very high end Napa Cab. Two of six chose this one. Fair enough. It is explosive, complex and delicious. Dark fruit, leather. All very distinctly Bordeaux. Yum. — 4 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

The 2005 Pichon Baron show a fair amount of tertiary characteristics. It is dense and inky. Medium to full bodied. Currants, bayleaf, mushroom, forrest floor, truffle and tons of pencil shavings. — 4 months ago

Mount Veeder Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Cork was soaked through and spongy on this 22-year old magnum, but the wine was still drinking nicely, with a fair amount of fruit still evident and balanced well with still active acidity, floral notes, secondary earthy notes, and well integrated tannins. — 2 years ago

Viña Real (CVNE)

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

2020 fall. Similar to other recent bottles. Really nice wine for a fair price - I’ll be looking for some more — 3 years ago
