Race Wines

Jean-Noël Haton

Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Chardonnay

Olive pips, brioche, pomelo, tangerine pith and lemon custard nose with a circus peanut candy whiff. Briny lemon entry that eases into candied peel, olive notes echo the scents, and a hard race to a very lemon and caper fulfillment that shimmers with crystalline citrus nectars. Far from moribund, this one scores big where other '05s have given up the ghost! That's the spirit! #champagne bubbles #frenchsparklingwine — 9 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1998

Matté
9.2

Smells like a race horse this one, smoky, sadle leather, very light tough of brett with some very broody Danson fruit, wood smoke, Chinese spice. Well evolved palate with plush blue and black fruit and powdery tannins. Really drinking very well at the mo. — 11 years ago

Domaine Des Vignes du Maynes (Julien Guillot)

Cuvée 910 Clos des Vignes du Maynes Mâcon-Cruzille Pinot Noir 2013

Pinot | Gamay | Chard - not common for mixed race blends in burgundy, but this one ranks superior to the others I have previously experienced. High toned, soft flower components and a lingering sapidity. — 11 years ago

Bucella

Cuvée Katrina Eileen Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Maybe the best wine of the trip, it was like measuring a race by 1/100th of sec in regards to quality. Opens up fruity-fig and ripe plum on the nose. Cassis and slight floral element and creamy spice to envelope the palate. Focus long sustained finish. — 9 years ago

By the way have you guys had their Mixed Blacks? One of my favorites and a nice Cali take on Rhone.

Le Rocher des Violettes (Xavier Weisskopf)

Touraine Cabernet Franc 2012

Dig this hard. Aromas of a race track and blackberry and raspberry liquer. Slightly less weighty than remembered with still notable tannin. Loire franc killin it. — 10 years ago

Cascina Lo Zoccolaio

Vigna dij Sagrin Dolcetto d'Alba 2012

Chopper has a race tomorrow. Drinking alone... Love dolcetto. This one has some spice to it, which is interesting. Dolcetto is usually so soft and accomodating. Yeah. Sour cherries. Touch of rhubarb. Little but of Pall Mall, or maybe a Lucky. — 11 years ago

Good to the last drop - this is a new one for me and I am a believer - decanted for two hours and starting early today - love the dark fruit - the nose draws you in - incredible - the finish is like seeing Usain Bolt in the 100 meters at regular speed but in your mind you enjoyed every step of the race - that good - the taste just swirls and swirls like good kind of merry go rounds you enjoy and wish never stop - man this is what Napa is all about - bravo - love to 😀😃😎 — 10 years ago
