Château Giscours

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Fun mini vertical for Mother's Day weekend. 2010 showed well after 2 hrs in decanter. Garnet color with a perfumed nose. Palate showed some oak while the vibrant fruit was delicious and shows promise. 2005 displayed more secondary notes with an earthy, spicy flavor profile. — 8 years ago

Good but too tight as others have said. It’s just too young. Certainly has incredible promise and strength now. But the 2014 has not found its way here in late 2019. It’s a wonderfully extracted and potent cab. Give it some time and it will likely yield outstanding rewards. - cheers — 6 years ago

Ramey Wine Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

A luscious promise in a bottle, rich, boldly aromatic and loaded for bear with cocoa powder and oaky tannins. It tasted like the early morning earth smelled on my last bike ride through Yountville flats. So primary, like just bottled. May be as good as the Pedregal of '08 but we won't know for 5+ years. — 8 years ago

Honestly, that was part of my motivation in becoming a winemaker: it's not a cure for cancer, but in a small way, if people enjoy wine with meals, it makes the world a better place.

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2005

Young. Dark and intense blue Syrah. Noticeable oak. A touch of salinity and brambly plummy fruit.good tension and potential length. Very young but has good promise. — 9 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2010

A treat from my favorite waiter and off of coravin. Heavy scents of cherry that would s evolving to include vanilla and eucalyptus. Dried fig, leather and spice. The tannins have mellowed and is pretty lush. Just really starting to open up, but shows great promise! Can’t wait to try the 2008 in my cellar! — 7 years ago

Pretty darn amazing Languedoc courtesy of our friends from Paris. Four evolving layers of berry, then tobacco then great high notes. No way you can find this stateside. — 8 years ago

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

Les Bons Bâtons Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Today's lesson is on patience. Over a 24 hour period this showed quite a bit of promise. That's all it showed th0...it was worth opening and checking out and ''twas quite gorgeous where it was but this will reward sitting around for a while. Real chambolle in this bottle, don't be fooled. — 8 years ago
