I usually really enjoy this Sonona Coast bottling, but when drank side by side with the single vineyard wines, it pales in comparison. — 10 years ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Had at the Produttori site in Barbaresco. An excellent wine. Definitely on the lighter side, but very good acid, earth and fruit that is all extremely well balanced. — 9 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Earthy and still a bit tannic, a darker side of Lalande. I think it will shine in another 5-10 years. — 10 years ago

La Forest Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1986

Such beautiful expressions of aged Chablis, tried the 86/88's side by side, definite aged cumquat on the '86, with a little botrytis, the '88 was a little leaner, but needed time to open up. Amazing wines. — 9 years ago

Educated Guess Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

14.5% alc.
A bit too "artificial", jammy and sweet for me to make it really interesting but I can see this having its fans.
In fairness this should probably have been consumed on the earlier side and is a nice QPR at $15+

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

A nose almost like a stout, saturated with vanilla and chocolate and just a touch of ripe blackberry fruit. The palate is still a little blousy and flabby, with huge sweet fruit and mounds of residual sugar meeting the usual suspects of tobacco and tar on the terroir side of things. A little acid balances things out. Unbelievable that this much fruit remains after so many years. — 10 years ago

Brut Champagne Blend 1999

9.1

Lovely champagne, so young and fresh, though it is at its sweet 16. Light gold color, lovely bubbles more on the mild side, I guess it was a bit more perky in the past, nose of citrus, grapefruit, hint of tropical and oak with a touch of yeast. Super fresh body, crisp and appealing, with long yummy fresh finish. A lovely champagne. My score 91, drink to celebrate life any day until 2020. — 10 years ago
