Another Wednesday Wine Committee for the books, this one in honor of a former WWC member, with the wines donates from his cellar by his family. A wonderful tribute. Wines tasted blind as usual.

Hello gorgeous! Hard not to call this Bordeaux from a reputable producer. I called it early ‘80s. Tart cherry, a streak of green/vegetal notes down the middle but it wasn’t detracting at all. Herbs and underripe black fruit finish. This powered through 2hours in the glass easily. Beautiful.

Marcillac Fer Servadou 2014

My first Mansois, aka Fer Servadou from the tiny VDQS north of Toulouse (161 hectares /400 acres). Raspberry, brambly aromas follow through to the palate which is a bright hello that mellows softly. — 10 years ago

Duckhorn Vineyards

Three Palms Vineyard Merlot 2014

Hello my friend! 🍷😊
Duckhorn Three Palms Vineyards.
A merlot for Cab drinkers. An intense, age-worthy wine with complex red fruit and mineral layers. This fine wine draws you in with every succulent sip, each one becoming more intense than the last, creating a choreographed, symphonic, moving experience, involving & evolving through the full range of human emotions. 😮 We need more like you in this world my friend.

Nice bottle, was WS No. 1 for Top 100 in 2017 list. I own a 1.5L. Glad to see you enjoying this, I've seen mixed reviews, but enjoyed this vineyard site over the past 15+ years on numerous occasions, generally a solid wine.

Melville Vineyard Pinot Noir 2002

Hello old friend. Totally forgot about this one in storage. Doing this annual spring cleaning and opening all of those bottles that should have been popped a long time ago. Still kicking. Settled into a deep dark soft place. No mistaking this for old burg and probably would have been better a few years ago but put a smile on my face. — 9 years ago
