Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Usually have the best wine of the week at Sunday lunch. The 86 Latour is this weeks wine of the week. Hi Tannic year in Bordeaux and many experts think that Latour lost the plot in 86 with most thinking that Mouton was the wine of the vintage. This wine had lots of leather savouriness with no fruit character but still a class act. A good wine but not at the usual superlative Latour standard. — 11 years ago

Screaming Eagle

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Magnum 2008 Screaming Eagle Cab. Wine #4 for K's birthday dinner at Press. Really interesting to drink this after having the Harlan vertical at lunch and side-by-side with the Heitz and Martini. This 2008 much more ready to drink than Harlan. We decanted for an hour before drinking, but it was still really muscular and chewy. Was really delicious to drink while having our steak. Awesome treat. — 12 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 1997

1997 Tenuta San Guido Bolgheri Sassicaia. Drank at lunch at ReddWood. Compared it to the 1998, which was a more heralded year. I preferred this wine as it was drinking more readily, but K preferred the 1998, which he thought drank more interestingly and was more nuanced, despite being slightly more tight and tannic. — 10 years ago

d'Arenberg

The Money Spider McLaren Vale Roussanne 2011

One of my favorite whites over the last couple years, faintly sweet but packed with melon, white flowers and minerals. — 11 years ago

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2000

From mag. A little tight and lacked some acidity but a solid lunch wine ;-)
There was also a mag of '86 Domaine Tollot corton Charlemagne there that showed better. It was dark and cloudy but showed some nice age and character with a baked apple. 91.

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2005

Finally getting caught up on stuff I had in France. This needed more time open than we could give it during lunch, but went down quickly nonetheless. Deep and meaty and bloody with a touch of floral lift. Fully resolved tannins and incredible length. — 11 years ago

Perfectly balanced, well integrated, and pairs best with good conversation. Even for an Italian, this Tempranillo gives any Nebbiolo a run for its money. — 11 years ago
