Vintage Madeira Verdelho 1912

Bottled in 2012. Seemed to lack the zip of prior bottles. Very good, but not the best showing for the 1912. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Chardonnay 2009

Tasted this several times the past year or so. Always impresses, carries considerable freshness and has great bouquet to counter the lively zip. — 9 years ago

Château Hortevie

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Nice 2004, that was very pleasant to zip on but also worked well with a nice fillet steak on the bbq and lime inspired fresh summer salad... Still hang nicely in the back of your mouth..

Aveleda

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde Rosé Blend

Very nice. I'd guess most people love this wine, or don't care for it - with no middle ground. It's got its own personality. This wasn't in our top 4 for rosé, but would probably fifth. Wonderful bouquet, and quite a bit of zip. Would be awesome with trout or a similar fish. We had chicken. — 10 years ago

Delord

25 Ans d'Age Bas Armagnac

Slope Cellars: "A blend of three vintages, but the bulk of it is 1981. 40% abv. A beautiful colour, rich dark, gold. Viscous in the glass. Lovely perfumed aromas. Spicy prunes on the nose. Very elegant, soft, rich fruit. Gorgeous. Soft, brown sugar. Perfectly ready to drink. Tons of structure and zip and a very long finish. Orange peel note on the finish. Perfect. Orange butter on the nose, like as in crepes. Really aromatic! Cinnamon note on the nose. Great paired with Plumb Tart Tatin." — 11 years ago

Difford's Guide: "Single distilled from a blend of Ugni Blanc and Baco 22A grape varieties grown on Delord's own Bas region vineyards. Aged in Delord's cellars for a minimum of 25 years.

Appearance: Clear, golden amber.
Aroma: Boatyard varnish, overripe banana, prunes, spicy black treacle and floor wax.
Taste: Old-school muscular style of Armagnac which is well-rounded with good rancio. Stewed prunes, walnut, cinnamon, dried fruit and fruitcake.
Aftertaste: Long dry biscuity finish with lingering treacle. Heavy but easy drinking.
