  • 1999 Daniel Bocquenet Echezeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    Deep, complex, nose of muddled red and black fruit and some earth. Light grittiness on the palate. Cherry and spice on the palate. Very light tannin offer nice structure, tangy acid. Very good. Group's runner up for wine of the night.

  • 1999 Louis Jadot Echezeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    An interesting nose of red berry, some sour meat, and perhaps a drop of VA. Light, with low tannin, and medium-plus acid. Seemed a bit disjointed on the palate; weird. This was seriously outclassed by the Bocquenet Echezeaux had alongside.

  • 2014 Riverain Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard

    USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville

    Deep purple. Bramble and dark fruit on the nose. So very big and ripe. A very modern cabernet, without the structure or complexity that I would expect at this price.

  • 2014 Bevan Cellars The Impetus De Crescenzo and Tench Vineyard

    USA, California, North Coast, Napa / Sonoma

    I'll admit that this is far from my preferred style and, were it not for the structured time to sit with this, I'd give this a second or two and move on. That would have been a shame, because a good deal of complexity emerged with some coaxing after the initial shock of ripe fruit and alcohol. Dark fruit, herbs, florals. Decidedly modern styled big cab, but very well made with a good deal of complexity on the nose and palate. Very good.
