Dry Riesling 2017

This bone-dry Michigan Riesling is a mineral-driven wine. Light golden in color, it has a nose of citrus peel and a wet driveway. The aromas aren't terribly complex, but as Spencer Tracy said, β€œWhat’s there is cherce.” On the palate there are flavors of lemon and lime with a chalky minerality. Acidity is almost racy, certainly zippy enough to handle a sandwich or salad. The finish is lengthy and reminiscent of an older vintage Riesling, quite nice. β€” 8 years ago

A full bodied, smooth big red. Fruit aromas, layered with taste of currants, black wild cherries, hint of oak and tobacco leafs long muted tannins legs. One of the Okanagan’s best. Cheers πŸ·πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ β€” 8 years ago

Agree that it's young, but stuffed with flavor! The acid demands time.

ChΓ’teau Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

The 2014 Mouton Rothchild is a stunning wine that is already making its case for one of the wines of the vintage. Graphite, salted dark fruits, tar and mocha with a touch of red bell pepper all marvelously combine on the nose. Silky and marvelously textured, with an incredible complexity and viscosity, the wine shows wonderful brightness and a seamless quality that artfully dances across the mid-palate. Stunning and simply marvelous even at the five year mark, this is only an infant now and has decades of life to go. Try to resist this beauty for at least three more years.

ChΓ’teau Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

Initially showing some oak and grip, but this settled into a cedar-y, spicy, elegant wine. Initially lagging behind the '01 La Mission, the intensity and integration built with time and air. By the end of the night, it was neck in neck. Great wine that will improve with another few years. β€” 10 years ago

Nice smooth body πŸ˜‰.
Jokes aside was shocked how good this Syrah is. Full bodied, chocolate covered in cherries (yes that way around) with a hint of cherries covered in chocolate mixed in with some plums (tastes like ripen in plum barrels?). Good intensity!

Goes well with spicy food , it stands it's ground in regards to density and volume. And taste. love it!
