My love for Krug knows no bounds. Bready, yeasty notes jump out of the glass towards you but quickly soften into those of honey butter. Ginger and spice notes. Lees driven but well integrated with medium high acid. This champagne is so complex that it's almost impossible to truly detect where one note of flavor ends and the other begins. — 11 years ago

Starts off fruity and light (surprising for an old vine Zin) and ends peppery and strong. A lot of aerating breathing room seems to balance those flavored really well. Makes a great with any spicy sriracha dishes! — 11 years ago

By a wide margin, the wine of the night was the opaque purple '08 Herman Story Syrah 'Nuts & Bolts'. Exuding blackberry, graphite, tar and licorice aromas, and then filling the mouth with bold layers of spice, pepper and plum flavors. This astonishing rich effort ends with sweet and polished tannins. Simply WOW! — 13 years ago

The dark ruby '12 Piedlong Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is the second vintage from a new cuvée by the producers of Vieux Télégraphe. Nice aromatic nose of briery dark berries, wet stones and loamy soil. The palate is full of licorice, dried herbs and black olive flavors. The silky long finish ends with a fine dry tannic pucker. — 11 years ago

A more restrained, denser mouton nose here, somewhat closed but there is a detectable, dense core of dark cherry, blackcurrant fruit but also a deep red currant coming through with scorched earth and burnt ends.
Palate is balanced with very approachable, lilting red berry fruit that still has some sweetness to it. Classy red fruited length. — 12 years ago
