What a delightful wine from Southern France. This used to be one of the most widely planted grape varietals, but feel out of favor in the late 80's. Glad to see that Paul Mas did not give up on it. With a nose of blackberries, vanilla and slate; an inky purple hue and a mouthful of flavors that will knock your socks off, this is a really nice wine! — 10 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1970

1970 - wow - blows my socks off. Can't get better than this. Lots of earth, espresso and chocolate — 11 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Now the 2007 Pegau... Earthy red berry, 'meaty', (almost) dried roses, incense... Subtle yet powerful (I know it sounds odd) :) — 12 years ago

Saint-Chamant

Brut Champagne Cuvée de Chardonnay 2005

Very odd in the beginning. Blew off early. Melted in my mouth. — 10 years ago

Paolo Bea

Arboreus Umbria IGT Trebbiano

2009. Deep golden, almost brownish hue. Some odd aromas (black olive?) on opening, but was beautiful after a 2-3 hour decant. $62 from Astor Wines, New York. — 10 years ago

Castello Vicchiomaggio

Ripa della Mandorle 1996

Seemed maybe a bit beyond its day... had a bit of an odd aroma. But still good and interesting! ... day 2: wow, much nicer. Changed my rating. Opening up recommended! — 11 years ago
