Experiment L2.2 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2012

Still young in the bottle and almost inky in color. The merlot in the blend softens the tannins considerably. Slightly more acidic than the standard red blend which complemented my rare ribeye cap steak beautifully. — 6 years ago

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The George De Latour always delivers an exceptional glass of wine! The last bottle we had was in 2012 ( a gift from our good friend Charlie) after a 60 day cleanse and then as now it delivers that special quality we all want from a glass of wine. PERFECT! Anniversary Trip to Palm Springs! — 6 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Still hanging in there! Such a treat! Thank you to my generous friend John Slattery.! Roasted peanuts, dark soft plummy fruit. Nice acidity. Tannin totally resolved. A little minerally on the lively finish. — 8 years ago

Experiment W2.5 Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2015

Decided this would be a nice bottle for the quarantine. The pineapple notes stay on the pallet rounding out the very smooth non-tanic finish. This wine goes down really fast! Amazing, Ovid!! — 6 years ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Nothing like a good bottle of claret after a long hike w/friend. Dont seem to think was a good vintage but w/a good maker—-drinking nicely now. Black currants, cassis, gritty tannins, acidic lift but all integrated. Decant/ pour carefully — 8 years ago

A friend had a “reduction party” as he was needing to thin out his cellar. Definitely a party I’m happy to attend!

They can be easy to razz, but the quality and age ability here is no joke. Drinking beautifully right now. Dried fig, ripe cranberries, toasted blackberries, saddle leather, herbs de Provence, and potpourri leap from the glass. Powerful yet elegant on the palate, revealing soft and warmed red and black fruits, bayleaf, and truffled mushrooms. Very enjoyable.

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1999

‘96 and ‘99 side by side. A real treat from a good friend. Similar fruit and flavor profile though the ‘99 had a bit more weight and structure. Both were a pleasure with dinner. — 6 years ago
