Jerky teriyaki stones pencil lead and some barn. Really fantastic for 75. And it's opening in the glass over an hour. Great piece of history — 10 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

What a surprise to drink at a (fun--needless to say!) Saturday work event. I loved this. Quite aromatic, it had all the layers of silky blackberries, licorice, raspberries, leather, fresh mint, and something meaty like ratatouille. And the structure: this has plenty of acid and tannin to go the distance, but it's super fresh and integrated so is drinkable today. — 10 years ago

Ripasso Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2012

Monumental wine. First of all, you have to let breathe for half an hour. Let it settle in your glass as if it were Brando preparing to watch himself on VHS, sunk in a big leather armchair. It smells like dried fruits and tomato sauce running hand-in-hand around a pine tree. Mouth is very silky and elegant. A work of art. — 10 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

9.4

In fantastic condition. Very Top Shoulder. Firm cork, pulled in one piece. Wine: Fully enveloped in its secondary aromatic life. Forest floor, sweet leather, excellent color, bright aromas, resolved tannin. It makes me think of '66 Latour, a vintage favorite. Off the 66s, probably top 3-4 of vintage. — 11 years ago

Tasting with Olek Bondonio
His wines are true expressions of the land and specially his Barbarescos are showing the quality of Olek's "work" less is more.
