Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

How'd the 375ml of '59 Chevy w mid-shoulder fill show?
#LIKEABOSS!
Nose of crushed leather furniture, cigar box, fig, Christmas cake, plum & hints of a red cherry cordial
Still a pop of acidity with the fruit, but richness dominated adding raisin to the flavors along w feral animale & shaved dark chocolate taking over on the lengthy finish

This wine is robust with moderate to high tannins, which I love. But what I love even more is that it is still very smooth. — 10 years ago

1999 Gianfranco Soldera Riserva Brunello. Lunch at T w Roger S and BP. Drank alongside the '99 Insignia. Decanted this wine ~30 min. We think this was an off bottle. Thin, high acid, no finish. Too bad. — 9 years ago

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 1985

Not reconditioned and fully mature, this is has a delicate beauty right now. A little fragile, but mostly pure Cab Franc on the nose w/ a very nice silken texture. There's plenty of tannin, but the fruit is running out so drink up! — 11 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

Robust and fruity, but dry. Paired w a Acorn Squash in butter w cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. All I had, but it brought out the earthiness of this exceptional wine. Recommend w a plate of pappardelle and white truffle. — 9 years ago

W. & J. Graham's

Malvedos Vintage Porto 1999

you better have port wine on your screen, and graham's is a big player, big in quality, though, as well!
never say "industrial" here.
qd malvedos is a sub vinery and allowed to make it's own vintage ports in years graham's doesn't declare.
this is a catch, really, if you are lucky enough to get it!

1985 Sassicaia. Second red wine at Redd Wood lunch w A, S, and K. This wine was perfect. Epic. We could not believe how perfect this wine was drinking. Thoroughly enjoyed it- it was enjoyable the way truffles are- hard to describe, but pleasing to all relevant senses. — 10 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2002

Really unexpectedly trim and bright. Easy drinking w soft tannins and surprisingly bright light red and black fruits. I expected a much fuller, richer and more powerful wine for the vintage but it was absolutely lovely. — 12 years ago
