Nagging Doubt

Erich Salomon/Undhof

Pfaffenberg Riesling

Bright and shining with acidity, leaving a very refreshing tone of stone fruit with crushed mineral nuances. This will age gracefully but I doubt many will exercise the will power once they taste it. Very well made and just an all around quality expression of Riesling that most would embrace. — 11 years ago

Penfolds

Grange Bin 95 Shiraz 1991

The 1991 vintage. Good Penfolds Choc Malt. Aromatic. Rich to medium palate. No doubt it is Penfolds but astringency at finish. "Rewards" says to 2040. Personally I would not want to wait that long. 18- — 11 years ago

Made as mistake. This is the 1991 vintage.

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend

Wine of the night for many, the facts: made from 80% Roussanne and 20% Grenache Blanc, from vines between 10-40 years old, and a small quantity of the “Vieilles Vignes” cuvee, produced entirely from Roussanne vines of at least 65 years of age. Deep gold in color, this is indeed in the mature stage. A complex and full nose showed layers of almonds, sea breeze, candied citrus and honeysuckle. The palate indeed confirmed the small bit of oxidized notes (sherry like saline) that went very well with the yellow fruits and flowers, full bodied with grace, minerality and good acid cut which no doubt is how it was able to age. — 12 years ago

The Ojai Vineyard

Presidio Vineyard Syrah 2008

Jammy new world Syrah. Saving grace is the tannins which give it reasonable structure. It has the tobacco, bacon fat, and smoke that I expect on high-end Syrah, but the fruit just overwhelms me. No doubt Parker raves about this wine. — 12 years ago

Bodegas Alto Moncayo

Campo de Borja Garnacha 2012

With out any doubt one of the best garnacha wines around. Very nice body and deep color. — 11 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Inviting aromas of blackberry, cassis, black cherry, chocolate and smoke with firm tannins that will no doubt soften over years of cellar aging. — 12 years ago

Château Beychevelle

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

All note say it no where near ready - but double decanted recently this is very good - no doubt it will develop further — 12 years ago
