Some Days are Stones Syrah 2012

Ah, the Rocks at Milton-Freewater produce such remarkable and distinctive fruit. Morgan Lee’s take on the Stoney Vine Syrah is outstanding. Earthy, gamey, succulent, dark and full stone fruit (plum) that just keeps going. This is good for another 5 years I think. — 6 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

9.2

A redo after that disappointing 2002 Pichon Lalande two weeks ago on #steakandclaret night. While this is not again what I expect from this producer, it is better than the 02. Nose of cedar, fresh tobacco, stones and dry soil, quiet baking baking spices, ripe & lean; blackberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, hues of blueberries, light mushroom, soft leather, black licorice cola and fresh red florals. The body is leaner to medium and well resolved. The fruits are fresh & bright. Dark cherries, cherries, lean blackberries, strawberries, cherries, pomegranate & cranberry juice, hues of blue fruits, saddle-wood, sweet suede leather, fresh tobacco leaf, cedar, dry stones, top soil & rich turned dark earth, limestone minerals, dry stems, slight touch of dry herbs, round, mouthwatering acidity and lean, long, well balanced fruit & earth, good structured finish with length. Finish lasts a full minute. Still 8-10 years of good drinking ahead. 9.3 with the ribeye. — 7 years ago

Nine Hats Columbia Valley Syrah 2013

This is a solid Syrah that reaches above its price point by a notch. Big fruit and leather on the nose, juicy blackberries and bacon fat notes on the pallet. Lingers well, and great grip on the tongue. Yum! — 8 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1990

Kicking the festivities off with some 1990 Champagne. This is medium gold with active bubble stream. Brioche toast nose. Also notes of citrus, apple juice and stones. Pleasant in the mouth but not overpowering. Decent showing but I expected (and wanted) more energy and mousse. (Bday 1 of 13) — 4 years ago

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

2004 Vintage. This needs to be served at cellar temperature vs refrigerator temp and kept opening until last sips at almost room temp. Citrus and stones with acidity still to balance the honey notes from 14 years aging. — 6 years ago

New producer to me. Pretty strong reviews and I can see why. This is not your jammy fruit bomb zin that are super common. Finesse in style but retaining richness in flavor. Reminiscent of Carlisle style zins with higher acidity, lower ABV and encompassing the entire fruit spectrum. Ripe raspberries, blueberries and blackberries accompanied by Mexican vanilla and sandalwood aromatics. Energetic on the palate. Delicious. Thanks for opening, @Jack Thompson . — 5 years ago

@David T : And nice to enjoy one at 14.4 ABV when many others are 15-16%!

@Shay A In my perfect world, they would all be 12-13%. However, some producers mask the higher ABV levels of today better than others.

The 09 with our 4th course, Cheese w/ Fruits & Nuts.

The 09 is so soft & easier to drink young but, I won’t open mine for another 10 years. Loads of dark cassis. Ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries & blue fruit hues. Leathery, dark chocolate, dry stones, crushed limestone, cedar, dark but lighter graphite, medium spice, clove, dry herbs, dark dry soil, dry stems, scorched earth and withering dark florals. The structure, tension, length are there screaming to be magnificent. The well balanced finish is very good now but all I can think about is it in another 15 years plus.

@Phil A I am not a person to tell anyone what wine or vintage to like/appreciate. However, wine industry professionals would agree that 00, 05, 09, 10 & 15 to a a bit of a lesser degree are the very best Bordeaux vintages over the last seventeen years. 09 has drawn some industry comparisons to 82; which is always a dicey comparison. I only bring it up as I wouldn’t want anyone to think the 09 Bordeaux’s they bought aren’t good or worth the money they paid for them. If you haven’t enjoyed the 09’s you’ve had to date, then that is a very different conversation completely. Cheers! 🍷
