Château Cos d'Estournel
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2004
10 year Bordeaux...Bravo. The tannins have settled somewhat with the result being that this wine's structure, acidity, frame and finish are all in alignment. Rich dark fruits,cassis and Christmas cake. Such a joyfully smooth drop. — 10 years ago

Franck Bonville
Blanc de Blancs Avize Grand Cru Brut Champagne Chardonnay
Oh the purity! This wine has it all - a fine bead, a dazzling hawthorne and acacia aroma tinged with lemon drop that just jumps out of the glass, bracing acidity, flinty depth and a luscious lemon curd finish. Here is vintnervwho is as skillful a vignette as he is a grower. It's beautiful to behold, a classic Blanc de blancs — 10 years ago

Vine Hill Ranch
Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Decanted for 2 hours. VHR rewards you for the wait. Color is light suggesting a simple body. Body is tall and complex. I savored every drop. A treat. — 11 years ago

90/100 This region is for me definitely. This is not as hedonistically upfront as the Cloudy Bay, more subtle but presents a better finish. You do however have to reach further for the nose.
Loads of tropical citrus, lime, pineapple, gooseberry, grapefruit as you would expect, though lots more on the palate than in the nose. Excellent mouthfeel, here it wins.
The finish is linear, no drop off and so scores the same as CB but a different experience.
