Clos Rougeard
Les Poyeux Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc
A truly poised, beautiful, wine that's just wild and unpredictable enough to make its many transformations satisfying over a night of slow, contemplative drinking. Green bell pepper, jalapeño, puréed strawberry fruit and some barnyardy notes lead to a finish of red licorice and hay. Rustic and gorgeous, if still a bit young. Orange peel, wood spice, and tons of fleeting but beautiful earthy complexity. — 8 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000
Really well made, beautifully balanced and slow to reveal its depth. Disclaimer: it's hard for me to get past hints of Brett so the nose was a bit of a turn off, but it was not enough to make it difficult to enjoy. Fancy lil wine! — 9 years ago
Orin Swift Cellars
Machete Petite Sirah Blend 2014
Tonight we are drinking Machete 2014 California red wine bottled by Orin Swift Cellars. The one with the naked lady on the front of the bottle standing beside her car with the door open. Hummmmm. Well the cork was well preserved. The color is dark and the legs are long and slow. The bouquet is blackberry cobbler. The initial palate is slamming with sweet black currant - whatever that is so Im guessing because I have never tasted a currant. However, I just ordered the juice! The flavor is blackberry and cherry! The finish is very dry with a short ending of vanilla and a tart cherry pie. Simply Devine! I want another sip! It is sweet but very dry! I love it! — 9 years ago
Château Cheval Blanc
St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2002
A fine wine for 2002; very closed on nose and palate; slow to evolve and a very delicate style; camphor- cedar oak; acidity currently a primary taste; 13%; tasted in Brisbane — 10 years ago

Good, simple could be a bit more complex. Flakes on bottom of this and the 09 too. Liked this more than 09 tho maybe this had more time to breathe. — 11 years ago
Bodegas Faustino
Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend
“When a lovely flame dies, smoke gets in your wine...”apologies to the Platters. My goodness, the smoke is up front, setting up for warm plum, and dried cherry. A long, slow, dry finish. An enjoyable wine from beginning to end. “When your heart’s on fire, you must realize, smoke gets in your wine.” Shared by Mayor Bob. With Hall, Joanna. After a visit to Moose & Virginia Mack’s. — 7 years ago

Kapcsándy Family Winery
Roberta's Reserve State Lane Vineyard Merlot - Cabernet Franc Blend 2011
Slow O for 10 hrs. Pretty Cabernet nose and delicate, elegant palate. Nice balance but feels really light. Almost no tannin. Not what I expect in a Kap GV. Vintage specific, I suppose, but the 2011 Roberta’s from last night had much more tannin. Very food friendly wine. — 7 years ago
Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1955
What a beautifully graceful wine! A bit muted on the nose (slow ox for three hours - perhaps I should have decanted) but one of the most amazingly expressive palates I have experienced for a very long time. All the elements in perfect equilibrium; one of the rare times that I would actually apply the term 'smooth' to a wine. Tannins still lightly peppery, poised acidity, and an insanely long velvety finish that kept revealing hidden layers of complexity. Like a Burgundian peacock's tail that keeps expanding, adding new layers of graceful shades and patterns to the rolling tapestry of flavour. — 8 years ago
Realm Cellars
Beckstoffer Dr. Crane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
Great wine. Deep purple. Great fruit. Oak on the nose, slow to open. But once it does it's amazing. — 9 years ago
Château Calon-Ségur
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
Loamy earth, dusty cherries with mushrooms, spiced tobacco, underripe strawberries, smoked wood and cassis. That was just the nose. Palate is a little more unforgiving with more wood, tobacco and spice wrapped in acid and tannins. 8h slow ox and 2h decant and this barely unfurled by last glass. Either 8h decant or 10 more years in the cellar? Whose that patient when life is so short? — 9 years ago
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1961
Ex-Chateau bottle. Testament to perfect storage. Light Amber edge with a darker core. Started off full of toast and just a whiff of brett. Slow ox for 2 hrs then poured. Amazing life for a 54yr old wine still in its stride. Light and dark fruit with seamless integrity and polish. Classic old BDX. After the initial funk blew off it kept developing in the glass. I could drink this all night long. Awesome — 10 years ago

Greer
Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
Slow O for 6 hr prior to drinking. This really great. Seems perfectly proportioned to my tastes. Not too sweet. Great frame. Not hot. Seems a bit more open than previous Greer bottlings I have had. Likely from the blend of the two clones previously split for the Pott Arsenal and Greer, but maybe vintage, too. Whatever the case, I like it. — 7 years ago

Slow Press
Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
I snuck aboard the space station and made my way to the holding cell where I was told the princess was being held. Upon breaking down the door, I was confronted by a short person in a diaper and odd headdress who said "I'm sorry, but the princess is in another death star".
About that time all the alarms in the space station started going off.
After some brief firefights I found myself cornered, my only escape to done down a shoot into a garbage compactor. So I did. Once in the trash compactor I met a friendly monster called a Dianoga. We shared a lovely bottle of Slow Press while the walls of the compactor slowly closed in on us.
Fortunately for me, I'm the hero of this tale and, as such, made a timely escape, rescued the princess (eventually), and managed to do it all without realizing I had spilled wine on myself. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Alto Moncayo
Campo de Borja Garnacha 2012
The cork is perfect. The color is opaque. The legs are thick, long, and slow to flow. The bouquet is English lavender and honey. The initial palate is amazing!!!!! WOW! Im so impressed! Black cherry and cranberry bliss. There is a red pepper , spicy tang that I absolutely love! I so want to share this with someone so bad. There is butter, coffee, , and clove. There is black currant and oak. The finish is not that dry and leaves a desire for more!!!!! I dare you to try to have just one glass because I have just had two glasses and I am aching for three ! Good grief, Im doing it. Three it is! Cheers my friends! Stay thirsty... ha ha. — 9 years ago

Château Doisy-Védrines
Sauternes Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1996
Half-bottle. The wine was medium amber in colour and offered orange peel, apple, honeycomb, caramel, smoke, spices, sherry and a mouldy note on the nose. On the palate the wine showed orange, peach, apple, cane sugar, caramel, smoke, spices, creamy honey, some coffee, a hint of chocolate, sherry, mild black tea and a mouldy note, paired with medium-plus acidity, a creamy honey mouthfeel and very good length. Judged by this half-bottle the wine has just passed its plateau and started its slow journey on the downward slope. A good, medium-bodied Sauternes with lots of botrytis character. Drink now. 89 — 11 years ago
Eric Godin
Opening up like a Pinot, started off with potpourri and lemon zest, floated off to sandalwood, cigar tobacco, white and yellow flowers, blackberry, and leather and bee pollen. Flavors swing from bright, lemon-fresh berries and somehow flow through a gammut of berries and grapes into a dark, cocoa, flinty rock. A single, elegant cascade through flavors that lasts over a minute. A slow ride that ends so sweetly and softly you forget how much you're looking to sip again. Astonishing how bright this wine still is. — 6 years ago
