Hold Fast Avast

La Kiuva

Arnad-Montjovet Nebbiolo 2014

eye level gravel with my hands dirty, nine pm, fifteen years, give or take, we wanted to carry, hold eachother, push, scared of what's to come and the 'what to do', i once told you, whispers, humming bird, beak-heart, "i would love to fast forward", and now, cliche on cliche, i just want to speak to you and imagine the 'what to do', clean hands at nine pm — 9 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

This was a wow wine when it was 10-12 years old. I liked it over the Haut Brion of the same year back then. Fast forward 15 years and it did not hold up in our line up. Nice Graves nose and flavor profile. But it seemed awkward and muted compared to my previous memories. Perhaps a dumb phase. I was a very good wine just not the amazing 90 La Mission I remember. 91pts. It may have been the company. 82 Haut Brion and 86 Mouton. — 10 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2014

The 2014 has a wild opening of barnyard yumminess that runs a fast fruit-to-spice transition with an afterglow of tobacco and smoothness. Paired with food, it improves and can hold it's own. — 10 years ago

Idlewild

Yorkville Highland Vin Gris Syrah Blend Rosé 2013

Good with breakfast. Super minimal expression. Definitely fading fast. Last year's rose. Drink it now or forever hold your peace. Still giving it a good rating because I'm the one that's the douche drinking old rose and I remember how good this used to be. 😜 — 11 years ago
