Low Places

Château Palmer

Alter Ego Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

This was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of opulence for me. Dense and rich with a beautiful supporting acidity, fine tannins, and an impressive finish (even with my sinusitis working up). Cassis, cream, tobacco leaf, spice, somewhat smoky in the palate, and a touch of pyrazine to finish. Drinking well now, but will definitely see improvement with time.

Notes: 51% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Petit Verdot. 2012 had low yields for Ch Palmer.

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2011

Clear, deep purple, nearly opaque. Low staining, medium- viscosity. Baked cherries, strawberries, leather, and vanilla on the nose. Palate confirms these notes and adds spicyness, black pepper. Medium body, medium tannins, long and medium complex finish. Amazing wine for the price! — 10 years ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

This wine begins with a bit of cranberry on the nose and continues with delicate, subtle flavors, low alcohol (13.6%) that make it food friendly with just the slightest hint of tannins on the finish. I paired it with a bone in rib eye and it was fantastic. — 10 years ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2006

look: pale ruby red core with slightly garnet rim.  medium viscosity.

smell: medium intensity aromas of roasted red bell pepper, allepo pepper flake, raspberry sauce, roasted jalapeno.  overall, sweet and ripe fruit smells followed by slight iron-like gravel note.

taste: medium + acidity, nearly high acidity, medium - tannin, flavors of smoked tomato, sour cherry, ending with a note of sweet dried/roasted pepper.  

profile: flavor is 'bursty' and drops out quickly and then hangs in a very subtle low way on the palate.  
purchased with Somm Select. honestly, it could have cellared a few more years.
