Trey, you've outdone yourself with the 2013! Can't wait till this integrates over the next decade but it's drinking amazingly well now too. Gonna be hard to wait on this one. — 9 years ago

Purchased at auction from K&L. Single owner kept it in very fine fettle. Fill level high for a '66 and minimal sediment in the bottle. Tawny caramel color with golden rim. Superlative complexity on the nose: rich mushrooms, forest floor, cedar, moss and wet leaves, dangui Chinese herbs, butterscotch taffy, molasses. Gentle and round on the tongue: prunes, mocha, shiitake, licorice, clove, sandalwood, black cherry, dried figs, and iron-alkaline briny blood. Very savory with subdued fruit, but tannins still fully structured. Loooooong finish, all the way to the heart. Euphoric ending to a lovely Christmas. Cheers to my mother-in-law. — 9 years ago

beautiful hand-blown bottle, handmade paper label, beeswax capsule. The good news is that the wine is every bit as nice as the bottle. A little reductive on the nose to start, but came around nicely. Lighter bodied, with spice and a bit of earth. — 11 years ago

First vintage bottled under the new Eagle Peak AVA. Already drinking fantastic out of the bottle with a perfectly perfumed nose and a texture that tells you stems were involved during fermentation. About 15% carbonic maceration on this vintage. — 9 years ago

Just a really great milk stout. Hard to beat it, especially with the on point addition of nitro. — 9 years ago

Nice everyday red blend to have on hand. Definitely needs time to breathe. Generally liked by all red wine drinkers. Cheapest I've seen is $9.99 at Total Wine in Crossroads. — 10 years ago

This Pinot Noir is deliciously drinkable on its own, or paired with pork or beef; even tangy fruit. It's tannins are well-balanced and the smooth finish make Meiomi one of my favorites which I always have on-hand. — 11 years ago

Red fruit on the nose w/ red licorice, fresh strawberry on entry; enjoyable mid-palate with a ever so slight tannic mid- length finish. Fruit forward w/ low acid — 11 years ago

Holy wow! I don't know if there is such a thing as a "mouthgasm," but I just had it! It has a finish with which you could set the minute hand on your watch! Intense currant with wooly/velvety tannins! I think that they were trying to impress Parker... I'm sure they succeeded. — 12 years ago

Justin mentioned he had nearly given up on some of the 04s a while back, but they are showing well again now. This one was elegant and singing from Magnum. — 9 years ago

Color: Golden Yellow
Nose/Smell: Not sure how long this was open for but at least a few hours.  Lots of perfume and flowers such as acacia, lavender,  elderberry and honeysuckle.  Additional contained sweet honey.
Palate/Taste: A little bit of heat at the end of the palate.  No where close to as much as the 2009 last month. Thick body and syrupy like honey consistency.  Long finish that lingers and sweetness stays steady.
Opinion: Noted a few interesting things. If you are a big fan of Vin de Constance, Napoleon's wine,  you might have noticed that the was no 2010 vintage.  While the 2011 is still over 85% from 2011 it is blended with the very small yield from 2010. Each grape is hand picked for this wine and is not pressed.  This is made entirely of free run juice. Additionally this was agreed on 60% new french oak. This can easily be cellared until 2035+. Great structure and power. — 9 years ago

Really cool Spätburgunder-like Pinot. Pretty florals, tomato leaf and earthiness intermingle on the nose leading into a lean mid-palate before finishing with a rush of saline acidity framed by superfine tannins. Well done. — 10 years ago

A blend of 54 merlot 46 cf only 675 Cases produced a much cooler vintage in Washington raspberry coulis like fruit cheery and a nice touch of tobacco herbs coco this wine sees 23 months in French oak 34% new very complex bouquet of aromas. Rich and chewy on the tongue with a firm hand of tannins but also lots of acidity holding things together with a long layered finish lots of fresh earth and mineral notes. Finish 50+ most excellent — 11 years ago
