One of the better White Burgundy's I have come across motif a Cru origin. Smooth with deeper oaky elements and a nice finish. Outstanding for the price point. — 10 years ago

Vista de la Luna
Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Delightfully innocuous. The kind of thing you want to drink when you want something a cut above "delicious", but that you don't need to think about. If you must think, this is all about ripe berries, a medium body, a hint of vanilla...extract? And mid-level tannins. And a stellar minimalist label. I like a crescent moon motif. — 9 years ago

Justification Paso Robles Cabernet Franc-Merlot 2012
Warm baking spices jump out of the glass, reminiscent of the aromas that fill a room after opening an oven door with freshly baked pie. Pie motif continues through the palate with well integrated baking spice and cherry reduction flavors giving way to a well sustained and satisfying finish. — 10 years ago

This bottle of Krug had the vine motif on the label that dates it to the "no Krug, no thanks" era. My guess is that it was based on a harvest between 1997-2000, so likely pre-LVMH. The wine was spectacular. The butterscotch and brioche nose as well as the brassy color were signs of patient, tender cellaring. Texturally, this Krug was as good as any wine I have ever had, velvety and full. The back end exploded with chalk, nuts and a complex array of dried fruit. The finish went on and on. Cellar some Grand Cuvée- you won't be disappointed. — 8 years ago
