Uncorked Society

Château de la Commanderie

Lalande-de-Pomerol Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

This was the third of 4 reds we had for our main course last night. A Wine without a fuss from the Wine Society bought in 2015. Another dinner guest often buys this in restaurants and loves it, as do I; in fact I like most Pomerol wines Good, medium tannins, very fruity excellent with beef wellington 😁 — 8 years ago

@david goldfinger I know exactly what you mean David! Peter Michael's entire lineup is sooooo good. I've always thought that his 11 was an often overlooked and discounted vintage. This one is awesome.

Casa Castillo (Julia Roche E Hijos)

Las Gravas Jumilla Mourvedre Blend 2009

After being uncorked for a day this wine is utterly ... Delectable! Tannins disappeared, and the smooth red berry tastes were present. Still not worth $25-30. More like $17-20. — 11 years ago

Antoine Luyt

Huasa de Pilen Alto País 2013

Controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt delivers a #pais wine from 100+ year-old vines from Cauquenes in the Maule Valley. Funky and reduced after uncorked, a much-needed aeration (in a water jug, mind you) brought to life a juicy, tense and extremely refreshing wine. The liquid was totally opaque, bringing a new meaning to the words "unfiltered & unfined". I remember a couple of years ago having a heated debate with another Frenchman who was making a documentary about Luyt who told me how wines like this battle against the homogenisation of flavours. Not for everyone. You can find it with Louis/Dressner if in the USA. — 10 years ago

This is a great summary that I think pretty much applies to all Luyt's wines. Let's hope winemakers like him stem the tide of homogenization. But as you say, not for everyone.

Carter Cellars

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

@David L @Carl Fischer @Ron R @Joe Lucca @Kirk Alexander Christine & I had dinner with my buddy Kirk and his beatific wife Veronica. I uncorked this one since it had been such a reliable pour the last time I opened it. However, in New York it had disappointed all of us. I am back to being disappointed. This is the type of bottle that you have to open by itself and not showcase it against any other as it will swiftly retreat into the shadows. Light on the palate, super short finish. This bottle came in dead last tonight. I can't believe the other that I opened impressed me that much that night. I don't do this often but I will knock it down to an 8.9. — 9 years ago

Great aromatics with jammy fruit, strawberry compote, boysenberry and baking spice on the nose. Similarly on the palate, plenty of jammy fruit, candied strawberry, nutmeg and cinnamon, with very little tannin and a great lingering finish. Very easy to drink. — 10 years ago
