Smooth and light but rich flavor (TalentConnect2018) — 7 years ago

Ten Sisters

Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Another great vintage of this underrated NZ single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. Loads of citrus (primarily grapefruit) and herbaceous notes. Light bodied with Bracing acidity. Crisp and refreshing. Consistent from year to year. — 8 years ago

Ardbeg

The Ultimate Ten Years Old Single Malt Islay Scotch Whisky 2015

So much peat and smoke. Also more subtle grassy notes and earthy sweetness. Super light-bodied. A great Islay scotch. — 8 years ago

Ten Acre

Stephens Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Ripe, almost jammy red cherry. High extraction, and generous use of new oak. — 9 years ago

Oskar Blues

Ten Fidy Imperial Stout

The standard expression is very good, but the barrel aged version is out of this world amazing. I was only able to get my hands on one can so I won't be able to asses how it ages, but even young it is exceptional. — 9 years ago

Ten Acre

Cummings Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Love this wine and what Michael Zardo is doing over at Ten Acre/Bella. Exceptional bottle that shows a true Cali PN. Full bouquet of lilac, violets, caramel and musk. Beautiful nose. Sip shows spice, smoke, black fruits, black tea with subtle tones of mole bitters. That same spice returns for a lingering finish flashing its soft round tannins one more time. — 9 years ago

Like caramel dipped cherries, thick and grippy. A ten y/o baby. So much Mourvèdre power and big tannins. Fun to drink but could still use more time — 10 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

Lovely. Some odd odors during the first hour after opening- blue cheese and cabbage.

Good color, smooth, soft, rounded and light tannins.

Cork was a complete mess- took about 5 to ten minutes to clean out.

Mushrooms, bell peppers, cedar and cherries. Delicious with dinner of filet and lobster, asparagus and potatoes.

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2015

Good structure but too young to be opened and consumed. Needs five to ten years at a minimum before you should be drinking this. Bright red with bold tannins and a high acidity make this delicious but painful today. Left my mouth still watering for the long finish. Plums and blackberries dominate the body profile. — 7 years ago

Took a mag of this to Lyon, France in 2003. My newly met Francophiles there had only heard of this mythical "Harlan Estate" and it was indeed my pleasure to share this with them.

Did a vertical tasting of 94 through 97 recently. Enjoyed all of them. The 95 was my favorite. Since then I've had a few of the 95's. The hype is real.

Château Pontet-Canet

After finally getting caught up with last weeks posting, its back to our regularly scheduled Friday N/V Rosé Champagnes. My favorite after Krug. Sofia’s is different about every 2-3 weeks. 🤣🥂

My notes are listed many times previously. I’m taking a break from notes for now and going to fully enough my baby bottles 🍼 of 375ml. Ahhhh!
