JL Oregon tasting 9/12/17. $55. Made the same as cousins but with better grapes from same top vineyards. Similar nose with less funk and more bright red fruits. Balanced but a bit sweeter on palate with long and complex finish. Interesting texture that's stimulating. Nice. But much higher bucks. — 8 years ago

Beautiful Grand Cru Champagne from Lallier. 55% PN from Ay, and 45% Chardonnay from Côte des Blanc, 8g/I dosage. Shows nice balance of acidity and elegant, creamy bubbles. Medium plus toast to the nose, and lemon oil, white pepper, fresh apricot and peach compote, and créme fresh, with a citric crisp finish. This one will see some great aging, but it's pretty darn tasty now. — 8 years ago

From magnum with low shoulder fill. Dark ruby and opaque. Black cherries, forest floor, warm berry pie fruit in the nose. Very heavy and rich in the mouth. Everyone guessed 82 Bordeaux. If I'm judging, the perfectly balanced 55 Mouton tonite gets the slight edge because the fruit in the 59 Margaux was a bit more dominant than the less evident tannins, structure and acidity. Really good wine experience. — 9 years ago

Deep ruby color. Expressive nose of blackberries, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and vanilla. Juicy dark fruit on the palate with oak spice and nice tannic texture. Probably drinking near or at its peak right now. Blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petite Verdot with 80% of the fruit coming from the To Kalon Vineyard. Aged 28 months in 55% new French oak. — 8 years ago

1958 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino: from Jay. This was the Ying to the Mascarello's Yang. Lovely rich ruby colour with virtually no bricking on the edge. The nose developed over the course of 15 to 20 mins in the glass. Unlike the Mascarello that was shedding perfume from the moment it hit the glass, the Monfortino needed more air before becoming less brooding. Dark fruits on the nose. Purple plums, black cherries, some forest floor, light tobacco as well as some floral elements prevailed. The palette was a reflection of the nose so no surprises. The fruit was far from dried out and this particular bottle still had plenty of life left in it but from my recent experience this is the exception rather than the rule. I have had around 10 bottles of old Monfortino ('55 / '58 / and '61) over the last year and the bottle variation, as you would expect, is tremendous with the majority of them past their prime. The finish was strong and in keeping with the rest of the package with reasonable length and quality. Drink now. 95/100.
