Well made, nicely structured and probably a bit of vinfanticide here. Solid if a bit soul-less, nicely set off a braised short rib at Anzu in SF. — 12 years ago
2013 vintage. Black fruits. Big wine. Lots of chalky chewy tannins here. Bit of a brute. — 12 years ago
Super cloudy. Some fun stuff going on here though. #bordeaux #moutonrothschild — 11 years ago

2011. Blanc. No one drinks enough of this. That's because there are so few things to which its a good partner, but it would be an incredible cheese-and-charcuterie wine. Broad and oily, there's just enough acid to keep you coming back for more. Sun-baked yellow orchard fruits dominate, but there's more exotic fruits too (mango and dried pineapple) yellow flowers, tons of almond husk bitterness, green olives, bay leaf, oregano, tarragon, white cheddar. Oak is assertively present but not overwhelming. Place dominates over grapes here, as it's a mix of Clairette and Grenache Blanc and a hodge-podge of other things. — 12 years ago

Took a chance at this 3 liter buying it never tasted at auction. Shared with my Sunday night crew and it was perfectly aged and went down so easy. Gone in an hour. — 11 years ago
