Hartford Court

Fog Dance Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017

Coffee, vanilla, plums, raisins on the nose. Light to medium fruit with hints of coffee, caramel, toasted oak, and a hint of tannins. This has a nice balance of fruit, spice and tannins, but is a little light for my taste. This bottle is quite enjoyable, but Hartford has others that are better. — 4 years ago

2014 vintage. Surprisingly well balanced for such an inexpensive wine. Fairly tannic with luscious dark berry/cherry notes and quite a bit of spice. Long and lovely finish. Good value red blend. — 7 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

Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2018

Excellent value and nearly everything you want in an entry level Oregon Pinot noir. A bit darker and more robust than I expected, and at 13.7% labeled abv. But quite balanced with darker red berries, some spice / chocolate notes, and slightly noticeable tannins. Lacking just a bit of acid on the finish for the freshness I’d love. — 5 years ago

Bondi Home Ranch "Water Trough Vineyard" Pinot Noir 2016

A full-body Pinot! Deep Ruby with berry aromas, floral and garden spice. On the palate ripe strawberry and dried cherry fruit with vanilla spice and cedar notes. The wine is well structured, silky smooth tannins, balanced acidity carry the wine to a lingering spicy finish. Very Nice! — 6 years ago

Good stuff. - ripe fruit nose with green olive. Dense and smoky on the palate, less fruit than smoke but really tasty. Aerated first glass. Will reserve for tomorrow and see how Day 2-3 turn out. — 7 years ago

Magnum 2001 Dominus Estate. D fam dinner at Tap. Spectacular and loved by all. The super green veg notes had mellowed and rounded out. Nice balance of earth, soil, and dark, sour fruit, tho to a much smaller degree. Such a great treat. — 9 years ago

Château Sociando-Mallet

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

This bottle was in a great, great place--lots of expressive floral notes like iris and violet, still plenty of blueberry, blackberry, and cherry fruit, refreshing green notes like fresh cut herbs, green bell pepper, and pencil shavings. Aromatic, and integrated, this has richness but also a Loire-like restraint. Like a swing and a hit right from the sweet spot. — 9 years ago

No brett? Sounds amazing!

You know, there was a little, but it didn't feature very heavily! Maybe like the meatiness of roasted eggplant, or it was expressing as the floral / spicy components rather than barnyard. The fruit was juicy, too, not dried out! Some would want more density on the palate and a more elegant finish (this one got a little rustic toward the finish, but some clear plummy notes and fresh herbs stuck around for a while).

One more thing I'll add: I was really surprised at the quality of this, even as someone who loves this wine generally! For a not-celebrated vintage at 15 years, all my dreams come true.
