2009 - Wow.... Just when Cali wines were starting to bore me, this came along with a crazy long finish. Can't imagine a better chard than this. Full bodied and well integrated oak with a little vanilla. Great honeysuckle and fruit. The acidity is at a perfect place; creates structure, but isn't searing. Wonderful. Ready to drink now, but no rush. — 11 years ago
Wow - 1967 in perfect condition advanced Rusty fruit is forward Mushroom tar sensational brown spice - amaro like - Copious amounts of fruit to support all the mineral earth and age notes - I was going to decant this wine but tested it via Coravin - and will suggest that we pour straight from bottle as I just can't imagine it getting much better than this.
This wine will be featured today in my Barolo versus brucellosis vs Bordeaux blind tasting - I predict it will be a showstopper — 10 years ago
Le Haut Lieu 1924 Moelleux: beautiful Ripe fruit, guava, even Passionfruit, and mango. Delightfully fragrant, with yellow and white flowers, honeysuckle, acacia and early grey tea. Superb combination of freshness, length, poise, fruit (nearly every fruit you can imagine) yellow pear, Apple, lemon, peach, and a lobby of tropicals. Long long long! Lovely vein of stony notes too. In the words of Captain Flashheart "woof!" — 11 years ago

Victoire from Angelus and Clyde from K&L promoting Bordeaux! This even blend of Merlot and Cab Franc sees nothing but new oak and smells and tastes expensive. As dark as black leather, this powerful wine would be hard to pick out as a 2007. The blue fruit of the franc keeps it fresh and I could imagine it going very well with Clyde's cassoulet! — 11 years ago

Whoa. Double decanted. Remnants of a four hour hold in decanter. Unbelievable. Can only imagine this wine with normal maturity. Bravo, Heidi — 10 years ago
