5/9/2011 - mhenry wrote: 81 pointsDidn't care for it. Seemed to have a hint of carbonation, which was unpleasant and unexpected. Drier than I like. Might be OK if paired well, but not a wine that I would care for standalone. |

2008 Marquis Philips Sarah's BlendSouth Eastern Red Blend more |
10/7/2011 - mhenry wrote: 86 pointsMy last bottle. Too thick, too jammy, too much, but it paired well with BBQ pork and a very spicy BBQ sauce. My tastes have changed since I bought this a while ago, and I prefer something not so over the top. |

2008 Marquis Philips Sarah's BlendSouth Eastern Red Blend more |
6/22/2011 - mhenry wrote: 83 pointsPopped and poured, and it definitely needs to decanter time. Big, jammy, hot. Only drank 1/3 of the bottle, and I'm sure it will settle down, but my tastes have changed, and this is too much. Would be fine with BBQ sauce. |

8/25/2010 - mhenry wrote: 88 pointsI liked it. It was very smooth and pleasant. Other Marquis Philips have been hot, high alchohol, and took a while to settle down. I liked Sarah's Blend even without aerating. I hope day two is a good. |

1989 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/11/2015 - mhenry Likes this wine: NR** Erroneous Note ** Cellar Tracker has a bad index. I've twice selected a different (everyday drinker) to consume and add a note, but it keeps selecting this wine. I went a different route to correct that bottle. Really: a Haut-Brion and Thai food? ** (Original note read "Good pairing for Thai food.") Sorry all... Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

4/19/2019 - mhenry wrote: NRI want to weigh in what a great value this wine is. It's a fraction of the price I normally spend, and it works fine as an every day sipper. I thought about pouring it into a nicer bottle so friends wouldn't be influenced by the label, but I just serve and don't say anything. At this price I don't mind opening a bottle for any reason. |

1996 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom PérignonChampagne Blend more |
2/1/2010 - mhenry wrote: NRGlad I drank this along side an "ordinary" champagne so that I could better experience an outstanding one. I rarely drink champagne so I have no idea if this is a good as it gets. Nice but it was probably wasted on me. |

2007 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
3/14/2011 - mhenry wrote: 86 pointsOK, but nothing special. Rather light, but not "thin." I primarily drink California wines, and had higher expectations for my first CdP, so I was disppointed. Would make an easy drinking cocktail wine, but I not match it with an elegant dinner. Probably not worth the price. |

2007 Famille Perrin / Perrin & Fils Côtes du Rhône VillagesRed Rhone Blend more |
5/20/2011 - mhenry wrote: 82 pointsWe didn't care for this. Did not have the time to decant for more than 20 minutes. Was beginning to open up. Will try again on day 2. (Day 2): Much, much better. Decanted two hours, and the wine lost it's bitterness(?) and became much more drinkable. Probably an 85 at this time. |
