Sea Smoke

Southing California Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Hit the wine jackpot on a work trip! One of two leftovers from the table next to me! Excellent Pinot. Lots of fruit and doesn't taste like a classic Pinot. Smokey wine indeed! — 8 years ago

Sea Smoke

Streamside Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2012

12' Sea Smoke Streamside Chardonnay. Last time I tried this particular bottle...made a note saying WAIT. It hasn't quite been a year.

Light golden in color(slightly darker then a year ago )Medium-ish body. This acidity has settled down since I had this last year(it needed to) quite nicely. Tropical flavors are still pronounced in the wine. Yellow apple, pear, pineapple, nutmeg & vanilla. Secondary flavors are starting to open up. Would enjoy trying this again in 2/3 years.

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

From a pristine bottle with a 4cm fill and an appropriate cork. Reddish tawny color with reddish amber rims. Barely translucent. Looks young for its age. Notes of rich warm fruit, cassis, smoke, some cedar planks, and a whole lot of leather saddle. Incredibly rich in the mouth. Silky. Long impactful finish. This wine appears to have no end of life in sight for it. Guesses were all in the 1980’s. Amazing wine. BDay dinner 10/12. — 8 years ago

Great stuff. Nice space in the background, too! Arguably the Bdx year of the century?

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2002

A phenomenal intensity even after 14 years. The structure may not be what it was in youth, but this evolves in the glass even still. Char, smoke, dark berries, ash, and a medley of attractive brett qualities. Wonderful length. — 10 years ago

No decant needed. BBQ smoke, black pepper, beefy, fatty, bloody, little funk, slight floral lift at the end. Black fruit, herb and black pepper palate. Medium acid, medium length finish. Really good stuff. Sub $50 N. Rhone that checks all the boxes. — 10 years ago
