Rainy Day

Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin

Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Bold citrus notes, good mix of bubbly and smooth. Parmesan, iron, sawdust, almond. Tart and good to drink. Enough tanins to not be too sweet and dry. Pleasant on the mouth for a beachy, summer's day. — 9 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

This wine needed about 3 hours to release. Initially tight with uncomfortable medicinal nose which then totally dissipated. Drinking now next day and you get the age of fully integrated but not fading tannins. Nose has a delightful dark fruit and smokiness. Great fit of nose and taste, meaning - when tastes after smelling the experience is consistent and not jolting. I think the color purple in a subdued way. Very nice. Memo to self: decant and watch for sediment, and enjoy three hours later. — 9 years ago

What a nose! Fruit but strongly tinged with spice and hints of cigar? Medium body with fruit and acid but latter lingers into finish which RC says should note be for Napa cab and sign of post prime by 5+ years. But still great to drink. Next day under agon the nose lost that spicy note but the palette holding very nicely. More rounded today. — 10 years ago

Prefer to three valleys. Ageable and affordable. Can taste the new oak in the mid-palate along with dusty fruit and strong, brooding tannins. Tastes throughout the day and was never the same incarnation. Quite the experience.... putting some away for a rainy day. — 10 years ago

The Prisoner can do no wrong! Takes a while to open up. I suggest a decanter. This is a dark, inky wine. Intense flavors of tobacco, and black cherries.

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

My first taste I really did not care for this wine. But I love Belle Glos so I gave this another try. Used an aerator and let it open up. Night and day! Very full. Great fruit. Glad I gave it another try. Decant this wine for at least 15 minutes and it's fantastic. — 11 years ago
