Domaine du Collier

Saumur Blanc Chenin Blanc 2011

Textured & elegant. On the whole, this is about finesse, but there is a lingering tension from the powerful fruit which adds the backbone here. This has a citrus-y edge to it which adds an extra layer of acidic structure to the lush orchard fruit. Beautiful wine. — 8 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

How'd the 375ml of '59 Chevy w mid-shoulder fill show?
#LIKEABOSS!
Nose of crushed leather furniture, cigar box, fig, Christmas cake, plum & hints of a red cherry cordial
Still a pop of acidity with the fruit, but richness dominated adding raisin to the flavors along w feral animale & shaved dark chocolate taking over on the lengthy finish

A true treasure, this golden age oldie offers layer of complex dried fruit flavors, wonderful herbaceous notes, resolved tannins, still marked with a Rutherford Bench dusty signature. Very elegant and believe it or not; almost Bdx in style. — 10 years ago

@Alex Binek - very disrespectful. Many factors beyond one's control show results with older wines. I've been victim to poor provenance/storage/conditioning & and I'm personally happy to read a positive result to counter a negative I may have had with an older bottle. Many have drank plenty of older Heitz than this with exceptional results. No reason to "call bullshit".

"...almost barolo like on the nose. Rust red, lots of color variation" @Alex Binet FWIW, Barolo is one of greatest appellations for wines worldwide. Hopefully someday, you'll understand that, even though it seems unlikely at present. And BTW; a homogeneous color does NOT correlate to the wine being great. @Anthony Lombardi @Steve Anderson @Ron R

If all wine aged this well I'd be very happy! Still vivacious with black currant and elegance. Very much Bordeaux in style. Best wine in the lineup of heitz, beringer and Kenwood. Thank you @Jörgen Lindström Carlvik

This was a nice surprise. Summery and tropical, sweeter than I expected but tonight that was perfect. Nice with salty grilled prosciutto-wrapped chicken, roasted potatoes, baby greens, and grilled pound cake with strawberries and whipped cream. — 8 years ago
