Plein Air Vineyards
Enderle & Moll
Liaison Pinot Noir 2013
Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Much much better than the vintage might indicate- Stellar, and much better with air. — 11 years ago
Silver Oak
Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Very pleased with this wine! Give it some air and time to let it open up! It's worth the wait! — 12 years ago
La Rioja Alta
Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2004
This started out nothing but acid and oak, but it filled out so beautifully with air. The fruit came out, the acid backed off, and the oak integrated and became pine forest. What balance! — 10 years ago
Jean Foillard
Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2013
Such complex aromas that benefited with a bit of air that lead to aromas of sandalwood and smoke, tea leaves, tart red fruits, violets, spice, damp earth and herbs. Long in length with cat tongue like tannin and perky acidity. So so good. — 10 years ago
Domaine François Raveneau

Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1962
Almost half a bottle of ullage,, gently aged in a cabinet under a sink in Rio de Janeiro, what to expect? Miracles do happen, as it was still alive and actually improved with some air! — 10 years ago
Paul Jaboulet Aîné
La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2003
Needs time to open up. Huge wine. Finish keeps going. Confusing but delicious mix of sweet dark fruit, tar, and salty ocean air. — 11 years ago
Château Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1945
Château Haut Brion 1945 en magnum... Une pure merveille... Signe d'une grande jeunesse, peut être éternel, ce superbe vin s'exprime dans son toucher sensuel et délicat a la manière d'une caresse d'un tissu de soie... Long, gourmand et plein de peps, il se délecte sans fin... — 13 years ago
Tom Casagrande
With a little air, this gets fragrant fast. A focused beam of dark, sappy cherry and a very clean note of stony minerality. In the mouth it's soft, balanced, and really clingy. Perfectly integrated acids. The color is about one shade darker than a rose. This is going fast. Might not have night 2 notes!
UPDATE: Two night later, nose is explosively sappy floral mossy. Deep flavors contrasting with a delicate texture and great acids. Upping to 9.4. Terrific, unique wine. — 10 years ago
