Super young, super tight, super wound up, and super primary. Not showing much other than oil like density and dark blue and black fruits. It would be nice to visit this year's from now. w/ Peter Sisseck at Victory Wine Group tasting. — 9 years ago

Saturday night...time for steak and claret as my buddy Gary Westby says. In this scenario, I envisioned the wine being equal or even better than my steak. Not to toot my horn but most everyone that's had my steak simply says meaningfully that it is the best they've had. Myself, I've only had one better the Ribcap at Bourbon Steak in SF; which sadly closed as the hotel took back the space they were in. Hopefully, soon to reopen again elsewhere in SF. However, back to the Pichon Baron. I can't say I loved it. I wanted to love it as it is one of my favorite properties in Pauillac. The wine isn't bad but it just never shined. Maybe, it's just not a good moment in it's evolution to open. It's soft, elegant but missing the beauty, flavors and complexity I've come to expect. The fruits are dry blackberry, dark cherries, black raspberries, a touch of juicy strawberries and black plum skin. Dark dry powdery minerals, saddlewood, lead pencil savings, underbrush, dry dark earth, dry pebbles. There is not much on the mid palate, it finishes a little flat and the fruits never really shined. Surprising for such a warm vintage. Hoping it improves over the years as I've got 5 more. Unusual that the wine really needed the steak more than the steak needed the wine. — 10 years ago

Troisième Cru Classé in 1855. Cantenac-Margaux. Thursday 9th July 2015 at The Connaught hotel. One of Palmer's best vintages over the past 35 years. It is still at its peak without any sign that it is starting to fade. — 11 years ago

Really nice porter. Quite bitter, which I think makes it stand out among many of the syrupy beers of this style. Vanilla but without overwhelming sweetness, like an actual vanilla bean. — 11 years ago

A pilsner with a bit of hops and earthiness that gives a bit of bite to this refreshing German style beer. — 9 years ago

2007 vintage. At poolside restaurant at the Edition Hotel, Miami Beach. Pale lemon hue. Tight on the nose - needed time to open up. Apple, greengage plum and lemon zest. Some grapefruit aromas with air. Not picking up the expected wet stone minerality in this bottle at least at this stage of its development. Very youthful. Hint of rubbery note but quite subtle. On the palate, bright, precise and clean, massive acidity, medium minus body and medium intensity. Medium finish. Very enjoyable with fish lunch. Being from a great vintage, this wine is still way too youthful and has yet to develop depth and complexity. I think it should not be touched for another 5-7 years and thereafter should drink well until 2030+. — 10 years ago

What a way to welcome the first night in Reims!. L'Assiette Champenoise is one of the only hotel restaurants to have an agreement to serve Krug by the glass.... The whole bottle is better. Bright, crisp and a great companion! — 11 years ago
