Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir

Textbook red burgundy. Mushrooms, barnyard, floral, and a nice cherry note. Good concentration. — 8 years ago

EARL Ginglinger-Fix

Alsace Gewürztraminer 2014

Got 5 of these super cheap from Last Bottle about a year ago. I have always loved Alsace Gewurz. It’s the wine I turn to when I want something just for me and fuck everyone else. This one is textbook, with musky pear and lychee nut aromas. Off-dry with decent acids. Bit of minerality in mid palate. Great value. — 8 years ago

Textbook Northern Rhône Syrah. Delicious. Brambly fruit, smoked meat, and violets. — 7 years ago

Domaine Faury

L'Art Zélé Syrah 2015

Northern Rhône Syrah that has all of the textbook qualities of the region. Dark Berry Fruit flavors are in the background. Earth, black pepper, salami, black olive with a hint of violet. Long and funky on the finish with some “barnyard notes.” Really well made and great if you like this style of wine. — 8 years ago

Round Pond Estate

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Color me impressed. This was a delightful, textbook expression of Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon with the fruit, texture and “je ne sais quoi” to remind me that Napa can still make interesting, balanced and delicious CS. Another impressive wine by TRB. — 7 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Ron R
9.3

Just cracked opened the case, which was purchased en premieur from the winery. AG nailed this note, too. Needs lots of air, but exhibits a textbook Bdx expression. Fresh coffee roast notes, co-mingle with black fruits. This has another 20 years of runway ahead of it as the tannins are robust. This will further improve with more cellaring. — 8 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

Ron R
9.4

Incredible, but I must say that this needs more time!
On the nose, blueberries, blackberries, and the textbook Cos Indian spice signature.
Palette is toasty, with ripe tannins. Beautiful weight and sensuality, with pristine acidity. It's immature, and therefore needs a lot of breathing space, if you pop the cork now. A super effort, with an excellent trajectory.
