Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

This! Let me learn you something: You're hit with smokey plum and deep purple grapes. Keeping this taste, the oak gradually comes through. This taste stays and doesn't fade after day 2. Love this wine! — 11 years ago

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2006

This cork challenged my ah so skills but I prevailed. Slow clap 👏🏽 for me. Decanted for 6 hours and it was in a really nice place. Dark dark fruits, smokey game meats, cloves, herbs and white pepper. Still quite young and on the ascension. — 9 years ago

It survived @TheSkip it's always an adventure. My place has 35ft redwood beams supporting the structure and keeping it from falling down the canyon.
