Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2006

Dear diary- I wish I owned more of this bottle. Wow what a wine. So much going on with very smooth tannins and a long finish. Mixture of chocolate, vanilla, black currant and minerals. Touch of earthiness and bit of leather. A lot going on but it all comes together beautifully. Pure awesomeness. — 6 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Wow. Went perfectly with my Christmas Eve New York Strip with truffled paccheri & Cheese. Soooo smooth but with great tannin - very necessary for the marble in the meat. Huge cab grape. Little bit of blackberry and a lot of chocolate. Yum. Note: I decanted two hours in advance. — 6 years ago

I was skeptical at first...inky black and 15.3 ABV, but the wine is well balanced with plenty of freshness and lift. Just the ticket with tonight's daube de boeuf. — 8 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

For a 20 year old St Estephe this Cos d’Estournel is sublime. Perfectly aged but shows a lot of youth throughout the hour opening with red fruit mixed in with leather and chalk. A good 35 sec finish. A classic Bordeaux that rocks! Kept from my Phd days ( Rodolphe this is the last one buddy) is surprisingly vibrant. happy birthday 🥳 Philippa. — 5 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1949

A treat. Dark in color, slightly cloudy. A powerful nose with dark, very mouton fruit. Incredibly aromatic, blackcurrant, mint,graphite, dried herbs, eucalyptus. The palate is extraordinary. So dense and powerful for a wine of almost 70 years. Dark fruit with a savory undertow- leather, thyme, sour cherry, dark chocolate. Really precise flavors and long. After an hour or two in glass there’s notes of coconut and soft wood. Extraordinary. Clearly there’s a lot of age on this but the sheer quality makes for a really dynamic wine. An exceptional bottle, and a teal treat. — 6 years ago

9.2

Current vintage. 2004 sounds old but this tastes so young. So lively, bracing, and uncompromising. Racy, dynamic acidity makes the whole palate a bit inscrutable at first. I cannot overstate how much grip this wine has. Slowly, acid dissipates to reveal some true game and meat overtones. Petroleum, tannin, and tart fruit. Fabulous with Spanish cuisine. Although this was a lot for fun to try now, I'd recommend putting it in a dark part of your cellar for...Let's say 20 years. — 7 years ago
