Falerne Cahors Malbec 2002

This wine was bright and more youthful than its 2002 age. Deep purple in color and flavorful on the palate. Bonus was it stumped both Ray and Henrik! Thank you and good night everyone! (Exit stage right). — 8 years ago

VQM Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Tell me where you can get a 11 year old wine for $15.00 ? Huge bell pepper, earth and baking spices.. It's hot, perhaps a little too much but age? WOW — 12 years ago

9.2

Domaine Guiraud les Gallimardes Blanc 2013: Grenache, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Friendly, floral, light acacia notes, lavander, gentle, maybe the most simplistic, a bit quiet of my tasting, a licorice touch on top. — 11 years ago

Jocunda Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2005

Big, tannic w/dark fruit black cherries, plums and a hint of tobacco! — 11 years ago

Château Clos Haut-Peyraguey

Sauternes 1er Cru Classé Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2001

Really wonderful wine. Rich, caramel-like and fill. More body than many sauternes. All that you want Ina Sauternes and then a robustness on top of it. Really wonderful. Tasted against a 2001 Guiraud which was also lovely but thinner. — 11 years ago

Château Guiraud Boissezon

Grande Réserve Saint-Chinian Red Blend 2012

Lauren Vance
9.1

Nose is just fantastic - Mediterranean notes of dried black olives, rosemary, thyme, and deep black fruits. Palate packs a big punch - in your face black currants, spice and salty/savory goodness. Deeeeep purple with smooth tannin & M+ acid. Huge value. — 9 years ago

Sygnet Limited Series Shiraz 2003

8.9

An Aussie Shiraz that shares more in common with the northern rhone than its native counterparts. Distinctly new world, but not overextracted, not overly alcoholic. Just simply tasty. — 11 years ago

TOR Kenward Family Wines

Noble Rot Late Harvest Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2006

I was served this dessert wine from Tor Kenward blind, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it is not a Sauternes. It reminds me of 2009 Guiraud, though perhaps slightly less concentrated. As the glass warms up, heady aromas of ripe apricot, dried pineapple, clover honey, candied ginger and baking spices leap forth. Unctuously textured, with vibrant acidity. The finish on this golden-robed beauty lasts for well over a minute. — 11 years ago
