One Hope

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

Lots of eucalyptus at opening. 15 mins in it begins to settle in. Leather, mushroom on the nose with the ever present eucalyptus. Really well structure fruit on the palette, a tinge of acidity and a bit sharp on the finish. More time in the glass brings a balance that’s amazing for a 39 year old wine. Thankfully no one here to share!

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2001

9.5

Excellent. Still has some primary fruit but the red plum, smoked meats and dried herbs are really what’s screaming. This was one of the best 20 + year old cdp’s I’ve had. Lovely — 5 months ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2020

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2020 Dominus is one of the wines of the vintage in this crazy year marked by drought and fires. There's plenty of upfront richness and fruit, but the mid-palate and finish taper off faster than they would in a higher-quality vintage. Here, too, the balance is notable, even if there is no escaping the reality that the 2020 is a relatively small-scaled Dominus. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2023)

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1979

1979 vintage. Not the biggest Jordan fan but this one hit before the mass California hysteria. Decanted and tasted after 10 mins-2 hours. Plenty of cedar, tannins and otherwise, structural components. Solid showing. May pick up a few of these for the holidaze. In best Darth Vader/James Earl Jones voice..."Impressive." 9.20.23. — 8 months ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

Very interesting wine this. Lots of leather with cassis and a hint of menthol. Very easy to drink and very smooth. This could develop in the coming years to an amazing wine...one to watch.

2003. But not the stewed fruit one might expect. Should have had some years ago. But it’s held up. Nice cigar box and dark fruit. — 5 months ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

2003 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and after two hours. Medium body. Grippy on the finish and plenty of espresso flavors encircling graphite, mineral and concentrated plum notes. Tasted a different bottle very recently on 9.26.23. That bottle was fresher (9.5) and the quintessential Cos style. This one was leaner and meaner but still delicious. 10.14.23. — 8 months ago
