Smoother than I would've expected. Soft tannins, nicely dry. Not much nose. OK everyday wine.

A nice everyday wine, and a good QPR. Nice acidity; paired well with Italian.

Hot & spicy upon opening it. Cools down a bit later. Very good value at $10.

2009 St Hallett Riesling

Eden Valley more

5/9/2011 - mhenry wrote: 81 points

Didn'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.

High alcohol content (16%). Almost like a port. Good with BBQ.

Viscous and sweet. However, it pairs perfectly with a good BBQ sauce. Drank with pulled pork sandwiches.

My 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.

Popped 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.

I 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.

Not what I expected. Dry, a little bitter. Almost like an Italian wine. Bought on sale; would not buy again. Will make a good cooking wine.

1989 Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-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...

I 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.

Glad 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.

Probably drank too young. Should have aerated first as it got better through the evening. Might buy again, but would hold for at least a year.

OK, 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.

We 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.

Have enjoyed it in the past, but drinking this after the Dr. Heidemann's riesling this seemed too sweet.
