Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Charles (Chad) Bucklin
9.2

A deeply intense nose that was well polished. Med + complexity. The palate is full but pretty with great black fruit, graphite, and chocolate notes. The structure is sturdy but elegant and in great balance. The length was long. This is a perfectly made wine the lacks character and excitement. #opusone #napavalley #mondavi #rothschild #oakville #bordeauxblend #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2006

9.5

Concentrated, ripe blue and black fruit. Soft, fleshy texture. Cracked pepper and spice. Clean earth. Drying flower petal. Beginning to develop secondary character behind adolescent acid. This was in a good spot and has miles ahead of it. Pretty outrageous stuff. — 9 years ago

Blue fruit and heavy herbaceous character with mineral highlights. Dense yet elegant with a huge acidic structure. Showing secondary notes but needs time to settle.

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

Somewhat muted and singular in character vs the '86. Reflects the solidity but lack of flair from the vintage. — 9 years ago

Honestly @Eric Egan i'm not clear on the stage of evolution with this one. It could have been in a bit of a dumb phase but I don't have enough experience with this vintage to be sure....I can only say that the '86 kicked it's ass and it's still ascending....the '85 appears to be headed the other direction

Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

This wine spends 9 years on the lees 70/30 Pinot noir and Chardonnay. This is all grand cru. A good amount of nutty a character with rich tree fruit. A big and rich wine with a good amount of pear and a host of nutty any yeasty character. Finish 50+. Most excellent+ — 10 years ago

No other Rhone varietal compares to Chave Hermitage Rouge for me. Ethereal depth and character. A good deal more youthful than the '04 I had a few months back. — 8 years ago
