12/2/2023 - Eric wrote: NRESTG Year-End Tasting (Newcastle, WA): Wow. Burgundy. Epitome. Unreal palate, structured but giving. Chewy, baked earth, mouthwatering and juicy. Still some chewy tannins, long and silky with fantastic red fruit.

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.

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.

2019 Domaine Tour Saint-Michel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Deux SoeursRed Rhone Blend more |
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.

2007 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles VignesMusigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
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.

3/7/2003 - Eric wrote: 90 pointsI brought this to Etta's for dinner with Suzi (mini-crabcakes followed by the spice-rubbed salmon & cornbread pudding). On opening it was dark, brooding and tannic unlike almost any Pinot I have ever tasted. A bit of barnyard seems evident. At first it showed loads of tannin and acid, but the fruit was hiding. With time in the glass (NOTE: Etta's has *really* crappy restaurant glasses. Will Tom Douglas restaurants drive me to BYO glasses?) it starts to open up and expand, lengthening on the palate. Finally by the time the salmon entrees arrived we were dealing with pure MAGIC! The acid gets along SOOOO well with the fat of the salmon, the finish showing power and grace. Deep cherry, powerful and intense on the palate yet very smooth.

3/25/2024 5:04:00 AM - Just had this yesterday. Absolutely a HUGE amount of green, very leafy, spicy and vegetal. It could have been a Chinon. I like that myself, but I can easily see it being very polarizing!
