Paragon Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway.

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

1986. MB negociant will cost few hundred hkd more. Leaking bottle, extremely sour n damp at open. Decant 3 hours. Divine. Violet, leaf, bell pepper, this wine gives a profound nose that won't tire ur sense, let's u keep digging, a structuralist, powerful. Hercules of Margaux. The first wow Bordeaux wine for me.

Alpha Box & Dice

Hercules Shiraz

Almost like a completely different wine. I had to double check the vintage to make sure I was drinking the same wine as I did a few months ago. A ripe cordial like concentration still that had it reminding me of its port-like character, especially in texture. The dried fig, sultana and sticky date element is still there but wrapped in an abundance of fresh raspberry and black cherries. The finish is pretty insane on this, certainly the type of wine you have to be in the mood for — 9 years ago

Domaine les Alexandrins

L’Arène de Coeur Saint Joseph AOC Syrah 2012

Gorgeous deep color. Nose is all smoky minerals and nose-tingling acids. Lean and intense. Like Hercules squeezed juice out of the freaking rocks. Some nice dark berry fruit is swept along on a whitewater raft of minerals and acidity. A totally unique style. Looking forward to see how this is tomorrow. I suspect I might bump up the score.

NIGHT 2: Much friendlier. Nose shows a very perfumey violet component, along with more fruit. Softer, with more fruit to complement the minerality in the mouth. Bumping it from 8.8 to 9.0. Very very nice.

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 1995

Lots of butterscotch but a little lemony freshness and a refreshing hit of acidity on the finish, it isn't a paragon of complexity, but a very satisfying 19 year old village wine. — 11 years ago
