Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

How'd the 375ml of '59 Chevy w mid-shoulder fill show?
#LIKEABOSS!
Nose of crushed leather furniture, cigar box, fig, Christmas cake, plum & hints of a red cherry cordial
Still a pop of acidity with the fruit, but richness dominated adding raisin to the flavors along w feral animale & shaved dark chocolate taking over on the lengthy finish

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1976

Co-WOTN. So much going on here and so pure and substantial for a 40 year old wine. Rich fig, smoke, forest floor, sandalwood, mushroom and an array of dark fruits. Not much bricking. Still looks like a 10 year old wine in the glass. — 10 years ago

Got the invite but couldn't make that one. 😞 Probably the first SD Spectrum tasting I've missed in the past two years.

Cancilla Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012

I'm not a Pinot Noir lover, probably because they cost too much for a good one, but received this as a gift and really liked it. — 9 years ago

Haden Fig

Bjornson Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Drinking like a French Pinot, the bouquet is evocative of cherries, strawberries, tea, forest floor, and crushed crushed flower, while the pallet shines with black cherry, tea, hints of cinnamon and allspice, and earth. A consummate exemplar of Willamette Valley. Get 1 of the 200 cases while you can. — 9 years ago

Château Rieussec

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1976

Donald Patz

1976 was almost fluorescent orange on release so many years ago now. Today it still has that telltale orange gleam but it's developed so beautifully. Orange peal, fig, honey, earth, mango, hazelnut, and on and on. 375ml still very fresh. Impressive. — 10 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2005

Classic Gran Reserva. Nose is leather and oak. Complex in the mouth with leather, oak, clove, cinnamon, tobacco, fig and a hint of blue cheese. It finishes with more oak, medium acid and chewy tannins. A lovely dark, blood red color to boot. At a meal, this is the main course. Me gusta. — 9 years ago
