Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2009

An exceptional wine that shows its age ability to endure and improve over time. The 2009 vintage has 76% Cab Sauv, 18% Merlot, 4% Cab Fran and 2% Petit Verdot and was aged for 15 months in French Oak barrels. Extremely opulent and luscious, though tannins were already falling, but its elegance and finesse was compelling. All ripe red fruits with a persistent perfumed aromas. Elongated finish with some fig notes as a bit of baked raisins. It can continue aging for another 15 years without compromising its elegance and complexity. This is a show stopper!! — 8 months ago

Far Niente Winery

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2016

Medium lemon color, with Tropical and stone fruit aromas with complex spice and oak notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, melon and citrus, creamy, with toasty oak, fig and honey tones. Long finish ending with fruit, oak and spicy mineral character. A big wine! — 2 months ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

Shay A
9.3

(Two previous 1983 wine reviews never made it on here, so copying from my CT).

Continuing a run of ‘83s over the last 3-6 months, this not only showed quite well, but it was at its best after almost two hours in the bottle. Whereas the ‘83 Pichon was clean and elegant, this was a bit more dense and powerful. Beautifully expressive aromatics of potpourri, espresso, fig and leather with a flavor profile mostly on the red/black fruit side of the spectrum. The mid-palate showed good weight and continued to bulk-up during the evening. Old cherry-tobacco note at the finish. Honestly, this drank like it was more early ‘90s than it was early ‘80s. Good.

Corison

Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Here we have the Corison 2012 Kronos Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s deep garnet & overflowing with characteristics such as ripe blackberry, plum, cassis, blueberry, mulberry, black cherry, fresh purple fig, violet, rose, roasted bell pepper, star anise, cedar, sandalwood, vanilla, nutmeg, clove, leather, tobacco, crushed stones, and graphite.

On the palate it’s dry, with refreshing acidity, a medium (+) body, reserved alcohol (13.7% ABV), fine tannins and a lingering finish. It’s outstanding – balanced, layered, elegant, & powerful.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's raise a glass to Cathy Corison and all the trailblazing women who continue to shape our world!!
