The Last Stand

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2009

9 y/o non-sulfite bottle stored impeccably. What a difference since my last tasting a few years ago. This is cruising at its peak. Soft tannins. Earthy complexity. Trademark garnet color persists, but red fruit subdued and mature. Proof that Marcel was the king of Beaujolais. — 8 years ago

Fantastic Barbaresco! Lives up to the region and is one of the better bottles I've had from there! Good front, tannins and long finish - will stand up to heartier Piedmont fare! — 10 years ago

I don't get much Yquem in my life. Had some older bottles but this was right in the pocket for my happiness.

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007

It's 18 months since I last tasted this, and it's developing very nicely. Dried strawberries, figs, prunes, and raisins, with fresh blackcurrants and blackberries. Very nice all-spice flavours too. Perfect with chicken and paprika. — 11 years ago
