Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1928

Charles (Chad) Bucklin
9.5

Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2012

A much different profile then the 2009 consumed the other day. A beautiful cherry and strawberry nose. In the mouth this bottle is about finesse versus 2009's power. — 10 years ago

Hey Mambo Sultry Red Blend 2010

For 12 bucks, this is an awesome value wine. Solid and fruity, but also versatile enough to drink with just about anything you can dish up (or even by itself). — 11 years ago

2015 - fruity with a mocha note. A bit of smokiness with each sip. — 9 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2000

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.

Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career.

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2004

round but with balanced acidity, like eating fresh cherries while biting your lip and drawing blood. tasted young despite being an older vintage than the other rioja we tasted. I kind of expected more from a GR. might need decanting. I recall preferring the '01 or '07. — 11 years ago

Very interesting, super chalky and stony. Fresh I think for an 82!

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Damn good but still way young...layered with roasted earth, black currant and blackberry compote and a good bit of smoke. Warm year so maybe a bit more clunky than other vintages but Dominus is really fabulous!! One of the few Napa wines I really like with serious age....half hour in decanter and candied cherries and red fruits coming out...enjoying this one! — 9 years ago

Most tannic of other '86s in the lineup but still plenty of fruit and spice. More rustic than elegant. — 10 years ago

Love this. Not like any other california sb and its worth the price — 11 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2011

Super Tuscan at its finest. Cab elements were in the forefront and the other varietals were a strong supporting cast. Lots of $$$ but worth it at least once or twice. Especially vs Antinori... — 11 years ago

Still so, so young. Violets and roses from first pour. Then tertiary and earth dominate nose. Won't touch other bottles for years. — 11 years ago

Was worries how the 09s would age. Good to know its worth keeping them a bit longer. Btw -- S or N?

S. Yeah, I'd really think in a few years these are going to be such a joy to drink. Took me a while to stop smelling and actually take a sip.
