@Joe Lucca was gracious to set up a virtual tasting for the Wine Nerd Herd with the team from Texture. It was a great evening. The 16 Lucky Well spent over two hours in the decanter-it needed more time. Tightly wound wine that need time to uncoil. Striking texturally with high acid and touches of oak on the finish. I found the almond paste and orchard fruit profiles very pleasing. I taste the attention to detail in this wine. — 6 years ago

This wine was opulent, elegant, and simply spectacular. Milk chocolate, black cherries, and cassis. If you are lucky enough to have a bottle, you are in for a treat. — 7 years ago

Ate leftovers from Dry Creek Kitchen dinner on 5/28/19 in our room (16) at Farmhouse Inn. Lamb chops, kale salad, mushrooms, pasta salad, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. All delicious. Wine perfect pairing. — 7 years ago

Deep Ruby with concentrated aromas of ripe black fruits and earthy floral spice. The palate shows rich blackberry and tart raspberry, complex, good acidity, balance and depth with ultra-smooth tannins. The long finish ended with an earthy and woody spice, cacao, and mushroom, very smooth. I am guessing that this wine is at its peak, so if you are lucky enough to find a bottle, get the corkscrew! — 6 years ago

The fight was a draw on points but on QPR the judges voted on the Palmer 🥇

At £340 it has less life but better & a bigger thrill drinking today 🥊 a bit more masculine than Ch Margaux

🍷 Deep ruby w/ brick edge

👃 Perfumed red flower, burnt oak, musty cellar, dark berry fruits, cocoa Black Forest morello cherry gateaux, liquorice & herbs

👄 Med body of super smooth dark berry w/ rich mocha liquorice

Tasted blind chez Roulot, and of course it is an 04. Vibrant acidity, unfurling now past a tight reduction into an open, maturing mix of rich citrus, tea, spice, stone. Lovely and lucky — 8 years ago

Pretty amazing. Great PQR. Italian varietals + Syrah, all grown in Oregon. Definitely an evolution in blending. — 9 years ago

The Sadie wines are treasures. Eben Sadie makes wine in the ways I’d make wine. Treinspoor is something unique. I’d be shocked if anyone could call the grape blind though it makes sense after you think about it. Tinta Barocca is usually made for Port and you can draw the link to prune, plumb, raisins, spruce, and oak. Bone dry, fleshy tannins. — 7 years ago

Occasionally you come across an incredible wine at a price that makes your draw drop on the quality to price ratio 😎

La Croix St George’s has always delivered amazing value from Pomerol for me but today we found a 1990 at €90 & to say it blew us away is a complete understatement!!

We immediately bought the other 11, in the case we found lurking in a cellar in St Emilion, & drank this one with a Beef Steak in a local restaurant for lunch - it was simply superb 😍

Aromas to die for & full of complex fruits with age potential left 😉 Normally you’d pay €200-€500 for a wine like this!

I’ll do a detailed review on the next bottle as we just enjoyed this so much we didn’t take notes but this 1990 La Croix St Georges is a 98-99 pointer for us ..... & at €90 😍 Incredible 💥 A very understated wine 😎

Got to love St Emilion backstreet cellars 😉👍🍷

Did I say it was €90 😁 — 8 years ago
