2004 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/23/2024 - Eric wrote: NR2004 Bordeaux at 20 years courtesy of Mark Taylor; 3/23/2024-3/24/2024 (Atlanta, GA): Seems a Pauillac nose, really nice, getting some horse, quite toasty, leaner, focused, tight, lovely really, lots of spicy green elements, sneaky tannins. My #1 and the clear #1 of the whole group. Correctly guessed as Mouton. |

5/5/2024 - Eric wrote: NRMini-ESTG Chicken Dinner (Seattle, WA, USA): Mmmm, there is a lot here, fruit leaning to more full and dark, very mouthfilling, dusty, sneaky yet fine tannins. A nice herbal backdrop, actually a lot of structure on this, really rather masculine, but I guess it is Volnay after all.

1990 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/29/2024 - djhammond Likes this wine: 99 pointsWow!!!!!! New Year's eve 2020; I was so disappointed and underwhelmed by this wine, (a rating of 93,), I have never been near it until now. What a difference 3 and half years have made. It is truly magnificent, and for myself the wine of the vintage, leaving the first growths at the starting line, with only the Lynch Bages as a contender. It is a fully mature Paulliac, fully integrated with tertiary characteristics. The nose is deeply seductive with musty old leather, deep blackcurrant and plum, and hints of violet. The palate is perfection, with a depth and complexity which are jaw dropping. The finish, likewise is stunning, but lacks that little bit extra to warrant a perfect rating. Possibly the greatest Pichon Baron of all time? Just pop and pour and stopper between drinks.

2022 Arianna Occhipinti SP68 RossoTerre Siciliane Red Blend more |
4/27/2024 - La Cave d'Argent wrote: 88 pointsFermented and aged for six months in concrete, this light-to-medium ruby-colored wine is a blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola. Laden with cranberry and strawberry fruit, it adds notes of rose petals, bay leaf, coriander and black tea. Light-to-medium-bodied, crisply acidic, softly tannic and with unnoticeable alcohol (11%), it stays solid in the middle and finishes with medium length. Vinturi-decanted and serially tasted over 2-3 hours, this was immediately expressive. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years. Drink now-2027.

1/28/2024 - Eric wrote: NRKobayashi Winter Tasting: Wonderful acidity. I really love good Viognier from Washington State, as the best examples express the showy aromatics of the variety but have cut, acid and focus. This is among the best examples.

2018 Clos de Gamot Cahors Cuvée des Vignes CentenairesMalbec more |
5/10/2023 - AndrewSGHall Likes this wine: 96 pointsThis was incredible. Go back to KL's note on the '15 to say it better. The texture is just beyond. And I am dialed into the notion that AR Malbec - at its best - is derived from the same clones here. Amazing dark fruits, just whiffs of dirt and fougere and filthy tights.

11/19/2023 - wineshaman wrote: 87 pointsGot to say, given all the positive reviews for this CDP I was terribly disappointed. Purchased at a French restaurant in Georgetown, which was equally disappointing. That being said, this bottle just would not open up, muted nose, the palate had some spicy notes that saved this from a lower score. It displayed little in the way of fruit, earth or meaty flavors I come to expect in a fine CDP, paired with disappointing beef burguignon and coq au vin, which I am sure did no favors for the wine.

12/2/2023 - Eric wrote: NRESTG Year-End Tasting (Newcastle, WA): More mineral and austere than the 2001 tasted alongside at first impression. But it opened up more easily to savory, umami-laden core. Just silky and easy to enjoy. It has considerably less depth than the 2001, more to drink now or sooner.

12/2/2023 - Eric wrote: NRESTG Year-End Tasting (Newcastle, WA): Mmm, some pine forest on the nose. Seriously closed. A pure, tannic, mineral core. It slowly gains some florals, but it just wants time, much more time.

11/28/2023 - dizzydd Likes this wine: NRGetting cold here, so felt like picking a Chateuneuf du Pape tonight. This was a classic from a Cdp. Decanted for an hour as the wine is still tannic. Opened up more as the night went along. Dark fruit, perfumed, and some leather. Fantastic CDP (Editor's note: score of 60 removed)

1970 Château PalmerMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/8/2023 - Eric wrote: 91 points54th birthday dinner. Near birth year. This started slowly, surprisingly dark and dusky, not very forthcoming at first. But oh the depth! Layers and layers of chocolate covered cherry and mineral with impressive freshness and structure. I have had better bottles, and this wine has seen better days, but it is still an impressive Margaux. Deep, red fruit. Deep minerality. Smoke. Surprisingly structured and austere.

12/12/2021 - seattlecook Does not like this wine: 81 pointsThis was a disappointment. A strong sense of petrol emerged on opening the bottle. Then after a bit of air and even time in a decanter the wine thinned out and lost any distinction.

5/13/2024 8:26:00 AM - The 2004 was clearly the best wine on day 1. It also compared very favorably to the the other most impressive wines, Lafite, Latour and Montrose, all on day 2.
