1998 La Spinetta Gallina Barbera d'Alba. ELO at HB w J&H R and Leon. We were surprised by how much we liked it. Note to get more of this wine! Really well balanced- some fruit, leather, soil, and smoke. Not a super notable finish, but greatly enjoyed this. — 9 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

B

2001 Dominus CS. Boy G at HB w B&K K. Drank this after the '99 Grands Echezeaux. Total gear shift, but unlike the previous wine, this drank as we had hoped. Interesting comp to the '97 Sassicaia, which was our fave of the night. This was super green and I guess we all just favored the flavors of the Italian. — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Richebourg Pinot Noir 1990

B

1990 DRC Richebourg. HB w MnD and J&D B. J said this was his fave of the DRC's and it was drinking beautifully. Such a treat on a warm summer night. Last we drank this was almost a year ago, when we really thought this was spectacular. Tonight was the same- it was drinking perfectly. Beautiful brick color, balanced. We got note of dark fruit, mineral, and lots of forest floor- both earthy and a little funky. Spectacular. — 9 years ago

2011 Merkin Chupacabra Blanca from New Mexico. Floral aromas with peach skin, mandarin peel, honeysuckle, ginger spice, lush and round. Makes me think summer harvest in a glass. #wine #newmexico #chupacabra #caduceuscellars — 11 years ago

Better than the 2012? I really like this wine but I thought the 12 was not delicate and floral?

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

This started out with a little funk of barnyard & earth but soon blew off to show red fruits, cassis, mint , leather, tobacco & sandalwood. Outclassed by the HB in this flight. — 8 years ago

Memento Mori

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Lovely silky 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with a blend of grapes sourced from Napa's best Vinyards. 2013 needs a little time to open up but drinks beautifully nonetheless. Will definitely be picking up more of these!!! — 9 years ago

2007 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. HB w MnD and J&D B. We loved this wine wine so much at the Heart concert and we loved it tonight. Floral, along with notes of buttery brioche and oak. However, somewhat surprisingly, as we drank this in comp to the 2013 Ridge Monte Bello Chardonnay, it did not win out. Still such a great wine that we really, really enjoyed. — 9 years ago

Fernand & Laurent Pillot

Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

Morlet Family Vineyards

Mon Chevalier Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

My first Cabernet Sauvignon from Morlet Family Vinyards—I've only been lucky enough to taste and have been dazzled by their sublime Chardonnays. That said, the 2010 Mon Chevalier didn't disappoint, displaying classic Knight's Valley character, it's a treasure trove of cassis, black currants, incense and sandalwood, tar and menthol. Black pepper and spice box. The palate is a layered as the nose, with a dark-fruited succulent core framed in an understory of fine, mouthcoating tannins. 15.0% ABV — 8 years ago

1999 Domaine Dujac Clos de LA Roche. ELO at HB w J&H R and Leon. Very mellow and delicate- nothing overt- from the get-go. Gained some really interesting savory, meaty notes as it sat in the glass. Thought it drank really well. — 9 years ago

9.0

1999 DRC Grands Echezeaux. Boy G at HB w B&K K. Tight at first, but hoped it would open up. It did, but unfortunately, that only made the wine slightly better. It is just going through a funky phase. K noted that it wasn't the first time we thought that abt this vintage recently and should hold off until it comes back around. — 9 years ago

Screaming Eagle

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

Not the greatest vintage, but a real treat. Great fruit aromas, silky smooth, well crafted a hint of RS... HB style for sure! A good amount of sediment, but very typical for an older Cali CA. I would recommend resting the wine vertically for a few days, then decant and enjoy! — 10 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2013

Rob Landsness
9.8

Again, hard to tell by the sample label at the winery but this is the Blanc and it's 66% Sauvignon and 34% semillon. Completely different than la mission HB which is right across the street! A more electric style featuring bright acidity, thanks to the racy Sauvignon. Elegant too. Wow, this is awesome to have both Fat and Fresh! — 11 years ago
