Château Troplong Mondot

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Domaine de Mondot belonged to Father de Seze, who had the present-day chateau built in 1745. Very much taken by the estate, Raymond Troplong purchased it in 1850 and constituted the vineyard as we know it today. A blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, dark red with black fruit aromas and exotic spice. On the palate cherry and plum with oak, coffee and pepper spice. Big tannins need some time for this beauty to develop for the long term, but it's enjoyable now. — 9 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Randy Dunn does Washington. And he does it well. What I love about this is that it's the exact opposite of a Napa fruit bomb, it has aromas of Cedar, vanilla, chocolate covered strawberries, and some leather tones as it opens up in the glass. Palate is super smooth despite being young, with some herbs de Provence, leather, and sweet market cherries. Medium bodied and a perfect companion for a My Father Le Bijou 1922. — 10 years ago

Hubert Lamy

En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

9.1

On the nose, green apple, pineapple, lemon, lime, just underripe green melon, peach, notes of honey, hints of flint and yellow florals. The body is full, creamy & a touch oily. I'm guessing some extra time on less with some stirring. Green & golden apple, lime, lemon, pineapple, green melon & peach. Honey heathered, fine chalkiness and powdery fine minerals, beautiful round acidity with a long, thick, beautiful, elegant, polished finish. The more it warms up in the glass, the better it gets. Oliver their Winemaker, made Meo Camuzet before coming back to take reins at Hubert Lamy. This terroir is one of the most underrated in Burgundy and remains one of Burgundies best values. Photos of; the Domaine, the En Remilly and the father and son team of Hubert & Oliver. This may be $82 on Delectable but it's just a shade above $50 on pre-arrival. — 8 years ago

La Garagista

Damejeanne Vermont Rouge Red Blend 2015

Delicious in the cold barn by the vineyard tasting room, rain falling outside, they brought us hearth rugs. Tasted like the Iraqw once-upon-a-time: "I remember something that our father told me..." — 9 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

The color and nose tells you nothing about the age of this wine. Incredibly fresh and youthful on both scores. My nasal passage was flooded with violets and cassis. The flood gates collapsed and my mouth was coated with black currants, licorice and minerals. Paved over my palate like a run away steamroller. Merely a teenager at this stage of evolution. I can only imagine what Father Time will create. If this is your birth year it will be a challenge to out live this wine. — 10 years ago

Great note, Ira. Get your hands on a well stored bottle of the '85 for a totally different but equally true expression of Margaux. Velvet to this one's steamroller.

My father has had this bottle open in CT since shortly after he got back from Italy 20 or so years ago. Now it's really smooth, mellow and subtly complex. He doesn't care for this type of brandy. Wife and I will take care of that issue over the coming week. — 12 years ago
