Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Compared to the 2005 Pichon Baron the 2006 Pichon Lalande is more elegant and etherial. More medium bodied. It has notes of flowers, herbs, delicate berries, black tea, salmiak, violets, cacao and crushed rock. Silky texture. — 3 months ago

Château Montrose

La Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Paul J
9.2

PnP. Dark red/purple color. Young, deep wine. I thought it actually smelled a bit like the ‘66 Pichon Baron somehow. Earthy with cedar. Fruit was reserved. More alcohol than I was expecting. Needs 5+yrs. — 9 months ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Shay A
9.4

This was served during my annual WWC hosting. Typical format of sparkler, three whites, four reds, one dessert, all served blind.

My goal was to compare this 2003 next to the 2003 Pichon Baron. I’ve had the 2002 Mondavi VHR a few times and have been floored how good they’ve been. Read a review from WA and it said the 2002 was a spitting image of the 2002 Pichon Baron, so I figured I’d see if the 2003 was worthy of the same comparison.

Decanted an hour. Whoa! Much more Bordeaux like than the ‘02, and a touch lighter. Mushroom, pipe tobacco and fig, with mineral/graphite note on the nose too. Mocha dusted red and black berries, currant, herbs and saddle leather. At the end of the lunch, this eventually turned to a more resolved (and deeper core of fruit) with the tannins integrating beautifully. Really enjoyable. Pop and enjoy.

Domaine Eden

Santa Cruz Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

The 2011 vintage was less challenging in Santa Cruz than it was in Napa. This is a nice wine from a lean producer and opens up to pure cassis, like a blackcurrant pastille, a little vanilla that hasn’t quite integrated, and a nice overall mouthfeel that expands with a few hours of decanting. This was noticeably reduced on opening and that blew off over two hours. This reminds me of Corison. Also reminds me of an 88 Pichon Baron - what a good producer can do in a not-so-ripe year - good but definitely not epic.

Hanging out in Vero Beach with the in-laws and picked this bottle up locally for $60.
