Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Tasted 1 feb 2014 wine tasting night. Parker describes as a sleeper of the vintage saying it will keep till 2050. Sure he's right! Was v nice but at almost £100 more than the reserve 09 we also tasted couldn't be described as good value. Cost £120.50 — 11 years ago

Digioia-Royer

Les Fremières Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir

Beautiful. Great, right away: perfumed, delicate, very fine structure. But after a couple of hours open more depth, richness to balance the high tones. V long. — 11 years ago

Parussa Giuseppe

Roero Nebbiolo 2011

Really nice. Great nose right off the bat. Works well with my atrocious citibike weather, delivery steak frites from AOC, and top chef finale. Psyched for second half with lebron v clippers. I get a ton of richness, especially for the price - also get good fruit and some tar. Really solid. Thanks to Sarah for the recommendation. Go heat. — 11 years ago

Barkan Vineyards

Classic Kosher Dan Petite Syrah 2011

Dark, half opaque ruby. Funky aromas come to the nose right away, in harmonic array between white truffles, mushrooms, a bit of cow manure, and red and dark cherry aromas. Wonderful presentation upon entrance in the palate, showing delicious cherry juice flavors that evolve onto darker fruits such as black currant and dates, but also a bit of vegetable V-8 juice, celery, and tomato juice as it evolves in your mouth towards a desirable lingering finish. What a pleasant surprise this wine is, made out of one of my favorite varietals, from Dan, Israel, for $10 ten US dollars?? This is really pretty good. The finish lingers with pretty savory flavors and V-8 juice. Even some coppery, bit of bloody mary flavors. Can't wait to try this with prime rib or beef bourgognon. 89+ pts. — 12 years ago

J. V. Fleury

Cairanne Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhône Blend

2011. Wonderful mix of black fruit and earthiness. Very right for a southern Rhone. Spice, garrigue, old barn wood, tar. Love the taste. Finish is 20 seconds. I liked the 2010 even more, but this is great for the money. — 10 years ago
