Remember if it's not from Champagne, France it's not really champage, it's just bubbly wine.

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1993

Coravin with lowest expectations was the highlight after 1 hr glass decant. Dense, full-bodied, dominated by sweet oak and cedar. Creme de cassis and Asian spice. Far better than expected. - Robbie’s, London — 7 years ago

Huge fan of leoville Barton. They may not make a 100 rated wine but consistently solid. They last forever and well priced.

Rombauer Vineyards

Carneros Chardonnay 2015

Incredible! Wasn't a true fan of oak until now. Notes of spice, butter, caramel, clove, apple and pear. Medium-plus bodied and a long excellent finish! Favorite Chardonnay so far, at least that is oaked. — 8 years ago

Yeah but that could partially be inflated by the experience, we were having a good time. Also haven't had enough Chardonnay's (at least oaked Chardonnay's) to know better I guess lol.

No worries, rombauer is one of the best chardonnays in the reasonable price range.

@Steven K Thanks Steve, I'm sure once I try better Chardonnay's and come back I won't have the same opinion and rating. I'm still relatively new to wine.

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2015

First time trying the '15s and it's as great as always. This is definitely a decent amount more brawny and ripe than the '14s but still identifiable as a Lapierre wine. That said, I'm still not the biggest fan of most of these '15's so far, they are too hot and ripe and don't really fit the profile of what I want from most Beaujolais. This is still pretty good on its own merits though. Day 1 it was closed and not giving up very much but on this morning, Day 2, it's come around and opened up quite a bit. Ripe, juicy strawberry and raspberry red fruit, tart rhubarb, wild violet, smoky gravel minerality, with a nice briny, almost gamey salinity underscoring things a bit. Nice medium (+) acid, medium (-) body with a great, soft texture. Just a touch of fine, supple tannic grip. There a bit of brett and VA but they're in balance rather than being a faulty distraction; the VA helps give a little extra lift, if anything. Will try another bottle after some more time has passed because even though it's good now it honestly still needs to come together a bit more; it seemed almost still slightly bottle shocked when I first opened it yesterday. If you're opening one soon I'd recommend giving it a little air to let it unfurl. — 8 years ago

Dolce Winery

Late Harvest Napa Valley Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2003

I'm told this is from the guys who make Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel. It's the essence of pure apricot in a bottle, but lively, bathed in the honey part of honeydew melon. Lighter on its feet than it has any right to be. Outstanding. Thanks, Ronnie! — 9 years ago

Perfect right out of a cellar, was gone before it could go into the ice bucket. No stickiness even as it warmed up.

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago

Earth leather cedar and baked red and black fruits. Very complex and beautifully stuctured. Tannins very fine and integrated. For a fairly young wine it was really nicely far along. This was a suprising standout among some really strong wines. — 8 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2005

2005 vintage. At lunch with Pierre Lurton at Chateau D'Yquem. Medium golden hue. Quite restrained on the nose - poached peaches, stewed apricot, saffron, sweet spice, wet stone minerality. On the palate, medium plus acidity - far less than 2014, medium sweet perception, great liveliness and energy. Good angles. Not as long as the 2014, but more body. Drink 2019-2035. — 8 years ago
