My reward to myself for spending 5 hours turning a package of flat boards into a kitchen pantry for my in-laws 😃. Needed several hours to breathe and I may have to give them a decanter next Christmas 😃. Inky purple purple and a candy cherry nose, cherry vanilla & oak taste with spicy pepper finish. Smooth tannins but not as lush as older vintages. Going to try to keep the other 2012’s for a couple more years. Happy Christmas everyone. — 7 years ago

Opened this for the in laws Christmas on Saturday. Tasted it and didn't think much of it. My wife had it yesterday and said it was good so I went in for another glass. Much softer and has really opened up. Looks like it was bottled yesterday and still a wee bit of green going on. — 8 years ago

Found this in my father in laws wine cellar. Assumed it was an inexpensive wine until I tasted it. Insanely Smooth, almost buttery finish. Not even a taste of harshness. — 9 years ago

Very nice! Self-medicating at the in laws. Currant and fig nose. Blackberry, currant, cinnamon spice. Would have expected the wine to be almost black, but not. 2008 vintage. Definitely worth the wait! — 8 years ago

I know this is a mass produced winery, but this single vineyard wine is phenomenal. Had the '05 a few months ago and thought it was in a great spot. In-laws wanted to stop by while we were here, and they kindly poured us this '04. They are about to put the '04 vintage away for 10 years. Already in a great spot now, in 5 years, this will peak. Pepper, fresh earth, leather and boysenberry on the palate. One of the best '04s I've had. — 8 years ago

Really delicate meursault from Pierre Boisson. Def goes light oak for a delicate style. Innovative family that split up the domaine before silly heritage laws kick in. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the family labels! (Anne Boisson and Boisson-vadot) — 9 years ago

Vanilla and earwax. Nice spice and dried fruit notes on the palate. Finish is a little warm, not an inexcusable sin for a blend that includes younger whiskies. — 9 years ago

Wine to go with Thanksgiving dinner #1. This time we hosted dinner with the in-laws. Gewurz with Thanksgiving may be a cliche, but that doesn't make it any less excellent. On the wine: I bottled this in March knowing that it had a little cabbage-y type reduction and that it perceived as a little hot. I believed in this wine. I knew it would come around. I was right!! 8 months later the wine is beautiful, with intense floral notes overlaying deep tropical aromatics. The alcohol no longer sticks out as bitter but instead gives a sense of richness. A good lesson in patience, demonstrating that an awkward youth can lead to remarkable things down the line. — 10 years ago

Similar to Freemark Abbey, my in-laws love Trefethen. For what it's worth, my limited experience with them has been pretty solid. Gorgeous estate. Most of their wines seemed like white noise to me, but I really enjoy their Dragon's Tooth. Heavy on the Malbec but it's blended so nicely. Baking spices were heavy as was blackberry jam. Finish was a tad hot, but a decant would change that. — 8 years ago

Old vine carignan and cinsault- outside Corbières appellation laws thus a Vin de Pays. Although still young and clearly has aging potential, super quaffable - but excellent concentration, intensity, and depth. — 9 years ago

Amazing balance, soft tannin, burst of black fruit from start to finish. Sweet pipe tobacco note mid palate. Since my in laws were watching the kids, my wife and I decided to indulge. — 10 years ago

Really bad cork situation, crumbly and soft. One of my best saves ever getting it out of the bottle. Seriously I employed Doug Henning-esque magical ability, but more manly in style. Totally under appreciated in the in-laws kitchen. Not a flawed bottle thankfully....very ripe, dark cherry, kirsch. I think it is on the back end of it's drinking window. — 10 years ago
