Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Here is a grand daddy Bordeaux, both in size and stature that just never fails to disappoint. Black currant, dark fruits, tobacco, vanilla, all rolled seamlessly with the classic minerality of this famous terroir. More impressive than expected for a 2006, age has treated this wine well as the nose was opulent and delicious and tannins well integrated and smooth. Sadly, this double magnum was simply not sufficient to satisfy our thirst... — 9 years ago

Rödelseer Küchenmeister trocken Riesling 2013

Famous for his Sylvaner but the Riesling is wonderful and distinctive. Rich and unctuous with minerality that balances it out and prevents it from brim overbearing. Lovely fruit. Just a great drink. — 10 years ago

Bernard Magrez

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

06' Barnard Magrez Cabernet. 83% CB 12% CF 5%PV. WOW... A rare bottle indeed. This was sourced from the famous Vineyard Thorevilos (Abreu). Aaron Pott was its winemaker in 2006.

A 2 hour + on the decanting. All the elegant black fruit you can imagine in this glass. A 30+ finish. It's certainly in the discussion of one of the finest 2006's I've had out of Napa. Drinking well now & has another 20+ great years in it.

Barnard Magrez is now sourcing there fruit from Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyards. If you didn't get enough Realm Dr. Crane 12/13's. Hell… just want to add another great wine! This certainly could be a viable option(wish list). Benoit Touquette is "NOW" the winemaker😉👍!!

I'm not saying the 12 & 13's are another Realm Dr. Crane. They're the same winemaker & sourcing🤔. Just a thought...

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1975

The 70's for Napa-CA were phenomenal. These top vintners made wines with low alcohol and natural techniques no wonder they kicked the Bordeaux top wines in 1976 the famous Tastings of Paris! — 12 years ago
