Star & Dust

Baer Winery

Star Merlot Blend 2012

Really like this Merlot-heavy blend. The 25% Cab Franc really adds some nice complexity to this blend. — 6 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

This will likely wrap it up for me. A birth year bottle on my birthday and my 1000th bottle on Delectable. It’s a bottle that makes you appreciate the beauty of the wine, it’s story, and times and occasions you share a bottle. Faint red fruits, leathers, dust, tar, and a pretty acidity. It opened up over an hour, drank well for a couple and did some fading thereafter. — 6 years ago

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 1992

1992. Would have been better 5 yrs ago but still very nice with dried more than fresh fruit (prune/raisin more than plum/ grape) but still a touch of tannin on first opening. Definite cedary Napa dust gives a bit of structure. — 9 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

The fruit was still very much present, mostly stewed raspberries, cranberries, and red plum. The earth was the shining star, composted soil, tobacco leaf, and very much dusty. The acid was still in tact, and the finish was very long. Just the way an aged Bordeaux should taste!! — 11 years ago

Star Angel by Montes

Paso Robles Syrah 2009

The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — 6 years ago
