Vineyards Found

Château Lilian Ladouys

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Tried this again, about a year later. Time proved well. The vines of Lilian-Ladouys are found a stone's throw from the Graves of Cos d'Estournel and the Chateau Lafite-Rothschild. Purple, with inky tones. Aromas of black and blue fruit, smoky notes and soft spice. Palate displays black and blue fruits with toasty oak flavors, full body with round tannins. Finish ends with earthy mineral tones. — 9 years ago

I found this bottle alone on a shelf with no price in the supermarket. I took a chance because I love their Freakshow. It was a right move. — 10 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 1988

An earth driven nose with overtones of garrigue. This wine was terroir driven vs fruit driven. Compared to the other vintages I found this wine benefited the least from air. — 11 years ago

Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Nerello Cappuccio 2009

Raspberry, black cherry intertwined with bright floral and intense mineral notes are found in the nose. The wine has great texture with fine grained fruit based tannins. Flavors of red raspberry and plum on the palate with a s stoney, earthy accent. Great length to the mineral driven bright finish. — 9 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

I just found this for a ridiculous price at a sort of out of the way liquor store on my way home from the dentist. $60! Had to take a flier on it for that price. The wine is excellent. Darker than expected. Silky tannins with notes of sandalwood and tart cherry. Years of good drinking ahead on this one. — 10 years ago

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Riserva Rancia Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 1995

Davis Anderson
9.6

Dry aged beef, dried flowers, muddled black cherry, and hints of licorice. Tannins still holding but softened, acid still keeping it incredibly drinkable. Everything that is great about Sangiovese can be found in this bottle. Drink now or in the next year, I think. — 10 years ago

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Quite surprisingly delicious. 2003 is maligned but I found this to be chocolately, strong olive notes, some tobacco, grippy tannins and a bit of heat. The heat of the vintage shows up in its sweetness and greater resemblance to CA cabs, but it's delicious and enjoyable no matter what the critics say. — 11 years ago

Les Hauts de Lagarde

Bordeaux Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2013

The hints of lime, sans the harsh acidity, apple, and nectarine, make this the perfect summer wine. Be sure to look for deals on this one. I found it for $10.99 at Earth Fare, and that's virtually a steal for such a fantastic white. — 11 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.

2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.

The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

What a find... Smooth yet I really enjoyed the spice and pepper that linger. A bit more of each plus some more tannin bite would bring this wine up into the mid 9's for me. Glad I found this one and so will you. — 10 years ago

Freakshow The Strongest Man on Earth Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

I found this Cabernet to be surprisingly good especially at the price, major QPR in my opinion. Brambly fruit and spice, balanced and complex with good but not overpowering structure and a satisfying finish. — 11 years ago
