Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 2002

Another night, another insane Krug. Tessa’s palate has certainly been calibrated for this because the blind was instantly untangled by her - this is Krug… 02’ perhaps? Boom! Thanks for sharing this, Toni. Typical Krug opulence, yet so energetic. Just starting to mature, it combined ripeness, great structure, and phenolic grip, with deep mineral drive and acidity. Just hitting it’s stride, but I reckon it still has a long way to go. Love it! — 2 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Birthday wine! First impression: deep and inky. I'm certain if I drank this regularly I would have deep purple teeth. Took a bit to open up -- initially the 15% ABV is a bit much -- but once it breathes it really is quite nice. Loads of dark fruit, some oak, and spice. That all said, this still fell a bit short of expectations given the price point. — 8 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 1966

Looks almost rose. Quite dark. Tiny bubbles, very gentle. Glorious nose of resolved pinkish fruit. On the palate a beautiful strawberry soft and precise mid palate with delicate acidity. Long and phenomenal. — 7 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

Decanted. Not unforgiving, but still rigid. Showed some great potentials for a very long life ahead. Autumnal qualities with very concentrated redcurrant and earth. — 9 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

Velvety mouthfeel with medium tannins. Robust red and dried fruits, finish of vanilla and graphite. Quaffable af. Would pair with lamb, rabbit, pork, cheese, hummus. Versatile. Honestly not worth it's price point. An off vintage from a delicious vinyard. Would not be hard to find a bottle 1/5 of the price. — 9 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Sequel Columbia Valley Syrah 2009

One of my faves. I ordered two half bottles - imagine my delight when I received two full bottles at the half bottle price. — 11 years ago
