Vaucluse is Michael White's Upper East Side French restaurant with a slight American twist. And so it is the wine list. Large sections of French wine are bookended by their US equivalents. Two pages of Burgundy are followed by a handful of Sonoma and Oregon Pinots. We stayed Old School and went for a Bordeaux. Red fruit, tar, leather, somewhat advanced beyond its decade of life. A tasty mid weight wine that was lovely with the rack of lamb and establishment atmosphere. — 8 years ago

Pomegranate bouquet. On the palate, an elegant blend of dark fruit, cigar, licorice, and Himalayan spices. Balanced tannins and acidity. Good compliment with rack of lamb. Likely near its prime; may have 3-5 yrs depending on how it has been stored. — 10 years ago

This wine is in excellent phase at 21 . Pairs well with rack of lamb. Medium body still giving some bright red cherry, cassis, cedar, herbs and a bit of mint on the finish. Very well balanced wine! — 8 years ago

First taste: Dense blackberry-plum, charcoal and tobacco, with well-balanced tannins and acidity. Beautiful floral finish. Approximately 90 minutes later: charcoal more suble, with a splendidly elegant blend of fruit, tobacco, flowers, and an appreciable mineral finish. Lovely with rack of lamb. If you find this bottle, buy it and drink it now! — 9 years ago
