Solid crisp flavorful white!!! Had it with curry and loved it — 4 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2005

From the Haro-Lumia Tasters Dozen. Faint notes of cherry are evident, but secondary flavors dominate this medium-bodied wine. While lighter on the palate, it is full of forest floor, mushroom, and tobacco flavors. The finish is long and ends with a hint of menthol. Just a beautiful, seductive wine that will only get better over the next 10 years. A WS Top 100. — 6 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Ohhh my like a velvet glove cast in stone. Big wine with impeccable finesse. Classic Paulliac Classic Lafite! Nice red fruit, spice lead pencil and wood. Next to the 98 HautBrion, it was the wine of the night. My friend Michael stated the differences perfectly. I wanted to like the graves better but the Haut Brion challenged the pallet more. This is fantastic now, from a properly cellared 375ml bottle 97points.

Always love comtes de champagne blanc de Blancs. Although this 05 is a baby, it is already a great wine. It offers a beautiful salinity, toasted brioche, almonds and mandarin orange. I would hang onto it for at least a few years and enjoy over the next decade or more — 8 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot, blended then aged for 24 months in 50% new and 50% once-used American oak. Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruit, licorice and minty floral notes. The palate beautifully displays rich ripe blackberry and black cherry, a hint of sweetness, vivid acidity and the right touch of toasty vanilla oak, still youthful in development. The wine has nicely integrated tannins, still holds some grip on a long finish which should give way to let this wine age for the next decade+. Excellent, Tasting Sample! — 4 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1988

From the wine list at EMP bought by a new friend at the table next to us to go mano a mano against the 88 La Turque I shared. Slightly darker red and more pure in color. Amazing aroma that is more linear than the animalistic La La but in the same league. Hit its stride right out of the pop and pour gate. Lovely perfume with a more briary nose but speaks Cote Rotie from the get go. Perfectly integrated fruit and structure. Best Jamet I've had. Thanks to Danny for this treat. — 7 years ago

First taste reminded me of Firenze in that the leather belts and purses were on the nose. Lots of floral arrangements now, solid round, very nice as always. Shout out to my 1 follower @Bill Bender ... it's my birthday and my goal is to be drinking at your level next year!

Off the scales elegant, refined and beautifully lifted. Roses and dark cherry with stems on the nose led a seamless and perfectly integrated Orni verging on Burgundy. Restrained power and overt femininity. So lovely from magnum. Drink over next 5 years. — 5 years ago

Such beauty and elegance. I'm sure some of it is the age, but an AOC known for power emitting such elegance...Wow. Anyhow, jammy raspberries and a whole garden of vegetables on the nose. Palate is quite refined with white pepper, rock and all the trademark CDP flavors. Im never a huge fan of that fruit in the front, but the mid and back arr gorgeous. What's truly remarkable is the balance...The ability to isolate any single flavor to ruminate on, how each nuance to perfectly morphs into the next. Still some pronounced tannin in this guy! — 7 years ago

Chasseur

Freestone Station Pinot Noir 2009

2009. A very expressive nose. Chocolate, wet grass and moss, raisins and cherries. In the mouth it is immediately sharp but quickly settles into itself. A beauty. A nice blend of sweet and dark fruit with a lingering finish. I think this can even go a few more years but it's great now. Happy Friday! 🌲 — 7 years ago
