Domaine Ghislaine Barthod

Les Bons Bâtons Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2010

Punching so far above its weight class it's absurd. Need to try more Barthod. Another superb Rosenthal selection — 10 years ago

Henriot

Brut Souverain Champagne

Great bubbles, complex on the back end. A steal at €27, and head and shoulders above its peers. — 11 years ago

Le Vieux Pin

Petit Rouge Red Blend

Merlot with a dash of Syrah, this wine gives you red cherries and dusty blackberries with a sprinkling of pink peppercorns. Punches above its weight class.

Buisson-Charles

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 2012

2012 vintage. The old vines trick your pallet into thinking its chassagne until the minerality settles in and brings the classic Meursault backbone. Long finish. Drinks well above village level! — 11 years ago

Château La Fleur-Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1970

Not ever sure why the 61 vintage sells at or even above Petrus price as I've never had it but rest of the old vintages are just lovely and relatively a bargain! This bottle had all the nuances and elegance of a fine lady at ease with oneself. Love it! — 10 years ago

Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2013

Darker red fruits, blackcurrant, tinge of sweetness, soft tannins that faded with air, denser and really punched above its weight — 10 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2012

Had the 2012 (can only find the 2012 magnum on Wally's Wine and Spirits Website, and well worth it as it's above and beyond the '13) on our honeymoon in Kauai at the St Regis Kauai Grill. Wonderful wine that barely needs need to breathe and can be pretty much paired with anything. — 11 years ago

Château Redortier

Beaumes-de-Venise Red Rhone Blend 2010

Lovely balance, opened up with a bit of aeration and punched well above its weight. — 11 years ago

9.0

I'm fairly new to Girard wines, but really quite fond of this cab blend. I've tasted the '11 as well and this seems to be a step above. Really opens nicely after a bit of a decant...medium bodied but full of great flavor. — 10 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Drinking way above its pay grade.... Again. I love 96 Bordeaux. Beautiful nose with plenty of fruit but telltale pepper. Long life. — 10 years ago

Bollinger

La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 2004

As far as big houses go, always been a fan of the special cuvée. This is a cut above - lots and lots of biscuit and toast, but very well integrated, bit of dried apricot and a slight tinge of bitter oxidation rounding out this one - fantastic sparkler. — 11 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

83 vintage was showing strong tannin still... Lovely wine, everything there but definitely in to secondary flavour characteristics. Even this far back Pontet-Canet was punching above it's 5th growth status. #mtlwinethrowdown — 11 years ago
