A wine experience of a lifetime, we we enjoying a meal in Bordeaux Centre when our hosts poured this wine blind for us. They ask me to guess what it was. Since this was a long dinner, I had plenty of time. But I worked quickly and guessed Château Margaux. Why? I am not sure, but I went on and said that this wine was either the 1983 or 1986. I had no prompts; I didn't even know that it came out of our hosts cellar. It may have been on the wine list, I never even looked. I just broke down the wines elegance, excellent structure and softened tannins. Now before we get too excited here. I could have been a million miles away with my guess, but it wouldn't have matter. Right or wrong, close or far away, this is always a good exercise for those serious about be a well trained wine taster. The hosts and present company were actually amazed. One is never really wrong with their guesses, though to nail a wine out of the blue was really cool!😏#bordeaux #margaux #chateaumargaux #guessthiswine — 12 years ago
Just wonderful. Full of flavor of fruits and minerals, w/out out oak or butter. Very drinkable, and makes you think after each mouthful "what new flavor is that"... — 10 years ago
What an unusual kind of Riesling. Made like a red wine with a fermentation on the skins (30 days) but not orange like the Orange-Wines. Dry, powerful and rich of extracts. The 2005 is still young and fresh. — 12 years ago

I wish all things that smelled like butter pecan ice cream tasted like summer lemonade, burnt caramel and miles of mushrooms. I'll have to do with this. — 11 years ago

Original bottling, and worth the time on the cellar. More understated and seamless than it was in its youth, now quietly complex and richly complicated. — 10 years ago
