Château La Conseillante
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
The 2019 La Conseillante was stellar from the sample sent to "Martin Towers" in spring 2020, and the news is that there is no change in bottle. Allowed to open while gossiping away with winemaker Marielle Cazaux (you have to catch up when you are unable to see people regularly), the 2019 unveils an awesome, extraordinarily pure bouquet that seduces the senses, featuring dark cherries, blueberry, pressed violet and a touch of blood orange, all displaying wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied and cohesive, with fine-grained tannins and a judicious touch of black pepper toward the finish, which fans out gloriously while maintaining a sense of class. The best La Conseillante since the 2010? No - better. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2022)

Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend
A year later getting the pleasure to open this wine again. The color is a deep inky purple garnet with some noticeable bricking. An expressive nose of chocolate, dark cherry and stewed meat. Scents of pencil lead, pine and rustic oak notes follow. What can I say! So exquisitely balanced and layered giving a an overall creamy feel to the palate. Taste is full of black cherry fruit, dark chocolate, cedar, minerals and charcoal. The finish is long lingering with robust plum. Absolutely delicious and a wonderful way to please the senses on this Friday night! — 4 years ago

Good presentation. Not spectacular. — a year ago
Château Lafite Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990
The 2019 Lafite-Rothschild is a mesmerizing wine that shows how compelling the vintage is on the Left Bank. Elegant, creamy and exquisitely layered, the 2019 Lafite conquers all the senses. There is tremendous density and power that belies the 12.8% alcohol, but then again, that can be the magic of Bordeaux. Classic Lafite red plum fruit, spice, cedar, licorice and rose petal linger on the striking, persistent finish. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2022)

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2018
Not sure how many people are aware of this Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. If you are not I would highly recommend you check it out. Medium acids with earthy fruit and somehow very rich. I really enjoy this wine. — 4 years ago

Terra De Promissio Pinot Noir 2018
Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend
Apropos for Halloween!!! A dark blood crimson color. Nose — fills the senses with blackberry-cassis fruit, classic Bordeaux aged perfume and earthy notes followed by a slight barnyard funk, chard cedar wood and toasted vanilla. Taste - red cherry plum and cedar with pepper spices, and a jammy graphite mineral dry long finish. A medium bodied wine with the tannins still present giving it more years to age and surprising new flavors that can develop. Happy Halloween 🎃 ! Luv the label!!! — 4 years ago

A cuvée Brut Premier Cru N/V Champagne dominant on Pinot Noir 40% and followed by 32% Chardonnay and 28% Meunier, sourced from their most distinctive villages in Reims. However; most of them are Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses and Rilly-la-Montagne), this house champagne is the purest reflection of Cattier’s particular winemaking style as 41% of their bubbles comes from their reserve wines and they always surpass the minimum standard of aging of 3 years in the cellar.
The olfactory is stimulated with the intense fruit-forward and elegance (coming Pinot Noir) kicks your senses beautifully, all driven by acacia and array of white flowers, ripen plum, and subtle biscuits. Entrance on the palate is as intense as the aromas with a mouth-coating brioche and beeswax with a balanced acidity (dosage 6g/L) and lime peel with a long and subtle nutty finish. Hard to have one glass only. Cheers! — 21 hours ago
