Noël Verset

Cornas Syrah 1991

Same flavor profile as the 1999 - Olive tapenade, blood, tobacco, but much more integrated and subtle with a weightless, airy mouth feel. Superb! — 8 years ago

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

I love La Mish and this is one of my favs! So aromatic and complex showing sweet black fruits, tar, earth, cedar tobacco, soy and black olive. This has reached its peak drinking window and will drink well for at least another 5 yrs. — 9 years ago

Domaine Vincent Paris

Granit 60 Vieilles Vignes Cornas Syrah 2014

Vincent's old vine offering, this time grown on a 60% grade in the hills of Cornas. More mineral driven than his 30, with less ripe fruit and more notes of pencil lead, iron, and just a touch of olive. Bitter chocolate rounds things out nicely. What a great AOC this is. — 9 years ago
