"La Mordorée" Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2002

Condrieu Viognier 2006

Probably past its prime, but, excellent structure and complexity. Let it open up, and the age is dispelled, leaving a wine that provides great length, and which evolves jn its tasting range. — 10 years ago

La Landonne Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1995

1995 vintage. Meaty, earthy, liquorice, nettles and bracken. Medicinal notes. On the palate, much more white pepper. Quite plush blackberry and black plum. Very silky and textured. Good concentration. Fresh acidity. Good finish. Very enjoyable. Unfortunately in great company tonight. — 10 years ago

La Doriane Condrieu Viognier

Rich in aroma, flavor, and texture. The oak was there but what caught my attention more was the white floral and lychee notes. On the palate it's dense, extremely pure, with a huge finish that shows acidity buried down deep in the wine. Great stuff if you can try it, a benchmark from one of the greatest sites in Condrieu! — 9 years ago

Lost Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Bright ruby color with dark brambley fruit, toasted oak and graphite on the nose. Ripe dark fruit, black currant, blackberry, cedar and an undercurrent of black truffles. The finish is long and soft with hints of toffee, vanilla and white pepper. Balanced acidity and great tannin structure. — 11 years ago

Great northern Rhone typicity. Lots of complexity lurking beneath significant structure right now. Needs time and food. — 10 years ago
