Ovid

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!! — 5 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

Ovid

Experiment M9.36 Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Now we're talking! Restrained nose, but it really takes off from there. Multiple red and black fruit flavors, chocolate and vanilla on the mid palate, baking spiced dark cherries and wet tobacco on the finish. Multi layered- what a wine! — 9 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1970

This was a gift from a friend. It was laying in a closet at ambient room temp for 30-odd years, so I was nervous to open it, but it was perfect. So complex and fragrant. Acid and tannin still seemingly youthful. Wow! — 8 years ago

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

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

George Latour, born in 1982. Sounds like a school friend. This one has volatile alcohol on the nose. Again, just like some school friends. This bottle might not be perfect. — 8 years ago
