50/50 Les Collines /Stoney Vine Syrah

This is my favorite vintage of this blend. Such a nice balance between Les Collines Vineyard and Stoney Vine Vineyard. You get just enough of the Funk from the SV Syrah and the LC Syrah just smooths it’s out. — 5 years ago

Problem Child Zinfandel Blend 2012

For LC a bit of a struggle. Not that usual silky texture. This is a spicy, pepper heavy Zin that wants food and has a bunch of acidity. — 10 years ago

Fun wine; iconic Mosel producer in Australia - still Aussie though with a German touch. Great value, at the LC now. — 10 years ago

Extra Dry Prosecco 2014

This might be my favorite champagne/sparkling wine of all time. It says it's dry but it is a little bit sweet. That makes sense for an Italian sparkling wine — 10 years ago

Jérôme Prévost

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier

LC 15. Apricot. Lots of apricot. In a good way. Also Blood orange and pomegranates. Paired with Pierre Peters Les Chetillons and despite Prevost being my favorite champagne, it came in second to PP. — 5 years ago

Is the LC indicating vintage? I’ve not had Prevost before, but I was able to snag a couple of bottles of LC 17 recently.

Shay - yes, the number is the vintage. Lc 17 is going to be great.

Forgive me for not color coordinating correctly (say those last three words quickly ten times - ha) but that is what happens when two great friends get together for a dinner with wives to celebrate birthdays and we are left to our own decisions so our wives are definitely needed to dress us - man is that picture busy except for the wine

Rick brought a treat - 2007 treat - we only decanted for 40 minutes - when first opening I was worried - it was lacking any smell but it was a terrible restaurant decanter (love the food and atmosphere but not a wine heavy place)

We drank (more line devoured) the first wine (Dyer) while patiently waiting for this bad boy to wake up- when it did - wow 😲- I had a
@David L expression experience happen - “I don’t like - I LOVE IT”

So the wine and this vintage and this bottle for me was opulent and silky - it opened so progressively in the glass - like a Lexus LC 500 speed demon (sorry but I do have some preoccupation with this car) - color was a daaaaaark deeeeep puuuuurple (deep purple was a great band but I degress) - smell was full of vanilla and spices and amazingly was very ripe and was made in a flamboyant cult style - It soaked my mouth with melted blackberries, cherries, raspberries, cocoa and sweet oaky favors - the rush from the taste came from the silky tannins which were rich and refined - now it was also really dry - but overall I am totally impressed and the finish was medium long

Word to the wise - in my humble opinion this bad boy needs to be experienced sooner than later - still ripe but the smell is going fast - crazy to say this but the 06s have years left but my 07s are fully matured - Drink up and definitely smile .
