Drinkward Peschon

"Entre Deux Mères" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

A weird bit of lacquer and heat on the nose, which mostly blows off and settles down to more classic cab notes. Was a bit better with food. Has mostly dark cassis fruit, still some dry tannins on the finish, good acidity and some oak feels yet unresolved. These drink beautifully young. Maybe still in a rough patch. — 8 years ago

Domaine Dujac

Morey Saint Denis Pinot Noir

Darker than normal styles for a CDN but we are on a prestigious holding of Morey St Denis and this is full fruited still young mind elegant acidity zipping around some forrest notes however a lot of potential when it calms down in a few years but Dujac is a legend for all the tasty reasons. — 9 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2012

Pretty amazing although we drank the 2012 and I think it is still a bit young. Decanted it was better and the tannins mellowed some. Will age for many, many years! — 9 years ago

From Magnum. Explosive gamy, leather and ripe blackberry aromas. Just so beautifully balanced. My WOTN over some very good Chaves, Chapoutiers and (young) Guigals. — 9 years ago

Peay Vineyards

Estate Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2010

Light oak. Stone fruits. Young. Revisited this 3/21. Much better. Some nice weight to this. Definitely stronger hints of peach. Still very fresh and crisp. — 11 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2015

It's ALIVE! Sort of like a handsome young Frankenstein. Tasted over 3 days. Starts out spritzy, snappy, barnyardy... and mellows nicely after some time. — 8 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

I was so excited to open this 2006 Leoville Barton. The color was ruby red and dark crimson. Almost black. It opened very hot with just a short decant. The nose showed amazing cherry, raspberry, cocoa and coffee notes. On the palate the tannins are very evident. There are obvious dark berries and even some earthy vegetables and tobacco. Over the course of 2hrs it really came into its own and showed its meddle. This is a great wine and, in my opinion, a great value. While a bit young, this wine a still great now and will be amazing in 10 yrs. — 9 years ago

Long Shadows Vintners

Feather Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Randy Dunn does Washington. And he does it well. What I love about this is that it's the exact opposite of a Napa fruit bomb, it has aromas of Cedar, vanilla, chocolate covered strawberries, and some leather tones as it opens up in the glass. Palate is super smooth despite being young, with some herbs de Provence, leather, and sweet market cherries. Medium bodied and a perfect companion for a My Father Le Bijou 1922. — 9 years ago

Nice note @Kyle Groombridge. I've always wondered what this wine was like. Now I have to try it. Thanks.

La Chavaroche Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Beef jerky, black olive, leather, tobacco, blueberry. Is very young, but should be amazing with some additional time in the bottle. So beefy now. — 9 years ago

Very nice- drank too young. Probably an excellent wine with some age. Will try again. — 8 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1945

Tasted blind. Ruby color. Almost opaque. Young fruit forward nose. Notes of plums, mocha, dark chocolate, coffee, cinnamon and some exotic thing like eucalyptus. So rich and vibrant in the mouth. A forever finish. This wine took us in all directions. Immortal. Stan's 60th will always be remembered for the 45 Latour vs 45 Mouton mano y mano battle. A wine life moment for sure. — 8 years ago

Great notes. What a memorable night.

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1996

Light yellow with nice bubbles but the nose suffers from some sort of taint which came and went frequently. Debated if it was corked. Still young but hard to evaluate. Need to try another bottle. — 9 years ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage Syrah 2001

2001 vintage. Lovely youthful notes here. Still way too young. Plummy and mixed berries, some smokey oak, mulberries. On the palate, medium body, tannins are well integrated, hints of black pepper and nutmeg. White chocolate. Yummy despite its youthfulness. Open in 2025. — 10 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend 2006
