Promise Vin de Table Français Coteaux du Languedoc Carignane 2004

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. — 7 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. — 7 years ago

This was nice but nowhere near as good as the price. Had a 50 dollar cab blend next to this and there wasn't much difference. — 7 years ago

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. — 8 years ago

Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Just a good GCC from a very good year. Great value for the reasonable price. Dark fruit and some shaped tannins promise at least 2 decades ahead. — 4 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. — 7 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.

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 — 5 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

2014 tasted shortly after distribution release. Of course it’s hound and tight. But it’s good. Wound tight with a lot of promise. — 7 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

2000 Mouton was the wine of the night for many including me, 2005 was no slouch and showed very good promise.

Dense, polished and powerful in every aspect, the glass and palate were overflowing in sensory overload of heavenly dark red fruits, cherry, cassis and currants galore, truffle scents, smoke and toasty sweet oak highlights are perfectly integrated.

Bonkers expressive and layered, with a finish that lasts gosh knows how long.
