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. — 10 years ago

Best bang for your buck I've found. — 10 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

95+! This was a spectacular performance from this hallowed vineyard as well as one of Napa Valley’s great historic terroirs. An opaque purple color is followed by aromas of graphite, creme de cassis, flowers and background earth as well as spice. The old eucalyptus-filled aromatics of a young Martha’s Vineyard are nowhere to be found as the 2001 is dominated by fruit and earth. — 12 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

Mia in Pulp Fiction sums up my feelings about this wine. "That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the f&$@ up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence." — 11 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. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
