A babe in the woods, yes. The aromatics are a fantastic foreboding of what is to come. — 10 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

Thick and opaque in the glass. Dark and brooding. Still ruby. Nose of dark fruits, lead pencil, a little menthol and saddle leather. Great roundness in the mouth. Everything is integrated. Still young. Yes. Still young. — 10 years ago

Expensive? Overly so. Too large of production to consider this a rare find? For sure. Delicious? Hell yes! — 11 years ago

Tres Beautiful nose 👃👃👃
Caramel apple-banana brûlée top notes, pear and spice underneath, still-pert lemon zest and peach custard, too. Palate delivers that Cali-leonine body -ie big! - but with enough brisk acidity to keep things more than decent. Long, with flavors that echo the nose and all around beautiful balance. Drinking super well at moment, near its peak and rewarding this bit of bottle age with plenty of secondary characteristics. PLUS:: #winebling (yes, there are some tartrate crystals, folks - all just adding to the allure - game on!)

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Nice Barbaresco for $35? Yes, please. Aromatic, intense rich dark fruit aromas — I get plum, cherry, meat, a bit of metallic and lots of earthy tones. Not decanting this one should be a crime. — 10 years ago

Was really fun. Def on the fave list now. Should've had it first because the Austrian Rose I had before was maybe the most fun bottle of wine I've ever had
