Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

The fight was a draw on points but on QPR the judges voted on the Palmer 🥇

At £340 it has less life but better & a bigger thrill drinking today 🥊 a bit more masculine than Ch Margaux

🍷 Deep ruby w/ brick edge

👃 Perfumed red flower, burnt oak, musty cellar, dark berry fruits, cocoa Black Forest morello cherry gateaux, liquorice & herbs

👄 Med body of super smooth dark berry w/ rich mocha liquorice

🎯 Long lingering rich deep liquorice dark mocha through dark spiced berries

Domaine de L'Arlot

Clos des Forêts St. Georges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Wonderfully "classic" Burgundian nose of mushroom and forest floor. Nice structure with some decent grip. I'd let it sit for a while longer, but it's still yummy. — 10 years ago

L'Ame Forest Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2018

Pop and pour. On the nose: sweet vanilla and apple, a touch of mint. On the palate: good acidity, good density, cool mineral notes, sweet apple, a touch of tangerine and some spicy pepper on the finish. Solid. — 5 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1947

This has always been superior in magnum and this one only reinforced the impression. Still powerful, extracted and opulent. Intoxicating qualities aromatically; leafy forest floor, truffles, but also still, ripe black fruits and some gamey, smokehouse umami. A dreamy finish. I'll wait 10 more years before I open another... — 9 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. — 10 years ago

Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2013

I was drawn to the description including caramel and creme brûlée. Delicious! Not too sweet nor too dry. The price makes it even better. Apparently it's hard to come by so I'm buying up all I can tomorrow!!

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Birth year Bordeaux and this has been excellent. Very old school nose of copious tobacco, forest floor and dark berries. Medium bodied but gaining intensity over the course of 2 h - tannins completely melted. Bricking is apparent on first pour but the color grows darker with time. Perfect bottle that is a little past it’s prime but fun to step back in time. — 5 years ago

Winemaker Series Rutherford Bench Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

A stunner. Opened with that rustic cab smell. Not sure what lies beneath that initial nose. And then just pure explosive goodness in the glass. Black fruit, swirling with brown fruit in every sip. Lingering finish made for a wonderful moment or two. — 6 years ago

Medium garnet red. Lovely nose with layers of perfume, damp leaves, leather, tobacco and dried cherries. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Tons of dried red cherries on the palate mixed in with leather, damp forest floor and mushrooms. Long and lingering finish, that still has quite a bit of acidity on the back end. Drink till 2038. — 7 years ago
