@Mike R @David L @Joe Lucca @Ron R @Paul T The WOTN was a beauty so generously given to me by my Bud Paul Treadway! Thanks Paul!!! The tasting notes between the Beau Vigne Estate and Morlet's Coeur de Vallee are eerily similar. The true differentiation between the 2 is Morlet's seem less integration at this time. My buddy Kirk @Kirk Alexander always says "The test of a great wine is when nothing jumps out at you". This particular bottle did just that. Every person this evening commented on the fact that it was such a superbly balanced wine. It was dialed back ever so slightly in all the right spots for it to dance on your palate effortlessly.
Thank you Paul for a stellar bottle!!
It was enjoyed by friends outdoors on this beautiful S FL cool night. What else could one ask for?

1996 Screaming Eagle. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Superstar. We all remarked how unbelievably balanced this wine was, despite how big it remained at 20 years old. Finish lasted forever and was a truly memorable finish to the evening. — 9 years ago

2013 Peter Michael Ma Danseuse Pinot Noir. Lunch at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Can't go wrong with this wine. Lovely PN to enjoy with lunch on a hot summer day. — 9 years ago
Magnum 2008 Peter Michael Point Rouge Chardonnay. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Super. Loved especially at Susie and Lydia- the Chardonnay lovers. Not overly oaky- just rich and oaky enough to know it's a CA Chardonnay, but not so much that it's buttery and too rich in oakiness. Enjoyed. — 9 years ago

Terrific old-vines riesling by Gary Mills from the Garden Grully vineyard in Western Victoria (planted in the 1890's) | With a touch of rs (15 g/l) — 11 years ago
Beautiful blueberry with loads of blackberry, rock minerals, and a long long finish. This is a keeper if you can still find some. They went out of business last year. @Connor McMahon @Martin G Rivard @TheSkip @Jim Trobaugh @James Parker Huston, CWE @Ron R @Jacqueline @Ian Blackburn @Neal Schaffer @Terri Walker @Warren Sapp @Kimberly Anderson @Vanessa D @Bill Bender @Eric S @Eric LaMasters @Paul T @David L — 8 years ago
Tastes like garbage. I'm alive for the first time in years. A/S/L? — 8 years ago
I needed to open something just to get through @David L 's posts of all his epic wines from last night. I hate you, I love you, brother! But back to this. Wow. Talk about a vice - this could become one for me - definitely is one I need to stock up on. Drinking so incredibly well. Berries all day long with some nice hints of vanilla. While nicely balanced this is definitely a fruit-driven wine. And there is nothing "petit" about this. Big, bold, badass. Loved it. — 8 years ago
1995 Domaine Leroy Clos de Vougeot Burgundy. Dinner at Tap w S&L DiM and P&S Co. Such a treat. Pleasant sweetness and a really enjoyable lightness, despite its complexity and structure. Favorite. — 9 years ago
Magnum 1996 Dom Ruinart Champagne. Welcome drinks for S&L DiM and P&S Co. Despite rich yellow color, not as heavy and "honey" as we had expected. Very light and pleasing to drink on a 100 degree day. — 9 years ago
Jeff G's birthday mag after the roll downs were pulled at K&L. From vines planted in the 1950's in Cramant & Oiry, still the source of cuttings for Launois' massal selections. This is a very rich, creamy BDB that goes deep on minerality, even in a fatter vintage. — 10 years ago

This wine possess a great deal of potential. The vineyard has the capability too. Honey, melon and a coated citrus fruit marries with bright acidity. A medium bodied wine. @Palmer Emmitt @Paul T @Martin G Rivard @Connor McMahon @Terri Walker @TheSkip @Warren Sapp @Terri Walker @Eric S @Jacqueline @Vanessa D @Jim Trobaugh @Jody Scharf @David L @Vanessa D @Eric S @Neal Schaffer @Bill Bender @Ian Blackburn — 8 years ago
