The Missing Leg

Joseph Sabon

Clos du Mont-Olivet Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Fun, juicy and spicy Chateauneuf with nice garrigue inflected red raspberry and blackberry fruit. Resolved tannins with sweet berry fruit herbs de prvence and a touch of mushroom. Missing just a bit of depth and length but great to have a mature Chateauneuf. — 8 years ago

Goes down a treat while running the grill. Clean, Austrian refreshment in a tall can! The only thing missing is @Doug Burress & @Anthony Piazza ! — 9 years ago

Pretty sweet, great to see beer and chicken on the grill.

Diamond Collection Black Label Claret California Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Well with the extra dollars. This is one of my favorite cabs that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Smooth. Juicy. Amazing. — 9 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 1999

Missing some brightness, but this beauty is still chugging along. Granny Smith apples dipped in Butterscotch pudding. Probably should have waited a day to drink after opening. — 10 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Chablis Chardonnay 2014

Classic example of 'WHY' Chablis has been quintessential Chardonnay for centuries . . . Citrus-Rock-Acidity. Only missing the needed plate of Wianno Oysters — 9 years ago

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

9.1

I miss the rusticity of the past, but there's no denying that this is cleverly made. Sweet, grainy and accessible tannins, pure cherry fruit, hints of blackberries and freshly cut oregano; this is nicely updated. I like it a lot, but there's just something missing... — 10 years ago

Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2006

True Aussie Shiraz in a cooler climate style that I like, great with duck leg — 11 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

Went sublimely with the roast leg of lamb. Also simply a spectacular wine. — 11 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Really good wine but expected more. Missing mid palate after opening and just muted in general. Only after 3 hrs did it start to show its potential. This isn't going to age forever but give it a few more years and cross your fingers. Very nice wine but I expect more from Haut Brion — 8 years ago

La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 2001

Fabien Lainé
9.4

A nice intense mature wine needed time to open up as poured from a magnum - complex and rich - just missing some finesse freshness I would say but apart from this a beautiful wine — 10 years ago

Marston Family Vineyard

Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Black fruit (blackberry, cassis), herbal (mint, dill), sweet spice (cloves, ginger), pungent spice (black pepper, liquorice), oak (vanilla, toast, smoke), kernel (hazelnut, coffee), animal (leather, blood), mineral (earth, tar). Serious Cab, complex, extremely youthful (tastes like a current release), structured (like old-school Napa or Rhone/Bordeaux) and built to last decades, paired now with grilled leg of lamb, a great wine to drink when you haven't been wowed by a Cab lately. — 11 years ago
