Hue's wine. Less herbaceous than the Cloudy Bay's I used to buy by the case. It used to be allocated, and hard to get. Now it is omnipresent, but the 2010 represents a new pinnacle to me for Cloudy Bay.

Bob's wine I couldn't identify the Roussanne/Marsanne elements, perhaps the age?

Mark's wine. Slight funk, but similar to good aged Bordeaux.

Al's wine. I have never acquired a taste for it(the Mourvedre element is greater than most CdP's). I am told you have to wait on Beaucastel. I HAVE THREE OF THIS VINTAGE! I'll wait until I'm 80 I guess.

Gerry's wine. Very good. NO FUNK(or Horses--), that overwhelms 82 Latour. My last 82's were Mouton, and Latour. I bought 10 cs of 82's as futures, based on the infant Wine Advocates advocacy. I put them in storage for 10 years, the Mouton in a damp Manhattan warehouse recommended by Morrell, the others were held by Zachy's. I started drinking the St emillon's first, Palmer, and then moved on. I loved the 82's at 10 to 12 years of age. When it came to celebrate the Millenium, I opened my next to last bottle of Latour on New Years eve at Petrossian then at Bal Harbour Shoppes. We couldn't get past the funk,that night, or the next. I then went to Hollywood Food&Wine vertical tasting. The funk wasn't MY BOTTLE, IT WAS THE WINE! I sold my last bottle through Vinfolio, for $1,200. I stopped buying Bordeaux futures after 2000.
I just can't accept buying wine to lay down for 10 years, and then roll the dice. It used to be that the off unheralded vintages of Bordeaux were accessible early, and enjoyable to drink.

Barry's wine. At first seemed like Aussie Shiraz then showed some nuance.
