Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1955

Stunning nose of cedar, tobacco and smoke with a hint of hot gravel. Rich silky fruit with awesome sweetness and freshness. Long lingering finishing that haunts the palate. Incredible. — 6 years ago

Twomey

Monument Tree Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Intensely perfumed nose of pine and redwood with spiced red fruits, a bit of a nervous energy that still needs to settle especially if sipping without food. On the palate the red fruit is sappy and sweet with good acidity though the pine and spice keep it structured. Different food makes it show differently but not really toward the fresh juicy direction like the Soberanes. Getting to know the vineyard and feels like a cold weather fall and winter wine. Very unique wine from a unique site. — 7 years ago

@Matt Duncan thanks! I’m really enjoying getting to know one of my favorite wines over time and different vintages! Soberanes just blew me away for a great counter personality to follow as well!

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Peppered steak and eucalyptus on the nose. Earth and blackberry and smoke dominate the mouthfeel with silky tannins coating the palette. The finish is long. Fantastic. — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

I have a soft spot for the 81s from Bordeaux. Haven’t had one in years, but loved how balanced and trim they were back in the day. Totally overlooked because 82 came next.

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.

Wish I had understood what these wines turn into at age 20, back when they were (relatively) cheap and easy pickings. This was excellent, mature and singing with a perfectly grilled steak.
