1982 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/5/2021 - gsquireh wrote: flawedThe wine was undrinkable. Cannot imagine that storage since 2001 was an issue, since this bottle was stored in my temperature controlled first rate cellar since I purchased on 9/14/2001 at Acker Auction. |

2008 Château Pontet-CanetPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/6/2019 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 96 pointsFull bodied, this royal purple color delight with fresh and spring like forest floor infusing black currant, blueberries, and blackberries. Rich in the mouth with smooth tannins, the acidity is nigh on perfect. Perfect concentration, mid palate and a sensational finish.

1990 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/5/2019 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 97 pointsStill maintaining a luscious bouquet of cedar, cassis, blackberry, coffee, and spice and a one of a kind mouthfeel that has been imprinted on my palate since my first taste many years ago of this best Pichon Baron. The licorice is long gone and the blackberry fruit is still very present. The elegant smoothness merges with a rich, textured wine that is one of a kind.

2006 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La TurqueSyrah more |
5/20/2019 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank this along with a 2006 Chateau Haut Brion, a 2015 Leflaive Meursault 1erCru Sous Le Dos d'Âne. Blackberry, boysenberry, black cherry all merged with cloves, spice, forest floor, and licorice. Dense, rich, delicious, the balance of acidity and tannins a work of wine making art. A northern Rhone delight and perfect with the pasta course (and more) at Marea.

2009 Château Pape ClémentPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/9/2018 - gsquireh wrote: 98 pointsSurprised at how wonderful this Pessac Leognan showed-rich, rounded, full- mouthed delirious, the fruit is luscious plum and supple blackberry born of sweet earth. So very balanced, the tannins support the texture and strut the pleasure that one has with every swirl and swallow. |

1996 Château Lafite RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/25/2017 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 97 pointsRich deep ruby purple with blackberry, black raspberry, black boysenberry, and black currant penetrate this beautifully balanced exquisite swirling, and glorious sniffing classic with its fully integrated tannin. Spice, subtle graphite, sweet forest floor, and a touch of sweet licorice tobacco make this ready now and forever for me.

1995 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/17/2017 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 97 pointsDecanted for four hours and rewarded generously for the preamble, The novel that followed was classic and award winning-Layer after layer of a rich and textured, plush in the swirl, classic Pauillac. The deep, royal purple color entices and entreats one to relax and enjoy this marvelous manifestation of Mouton. Fresh earth with tuffles and subtle spices are enveloped by blackberry, blueberry, and cassis. Smooth and oh balanced smooth allows this pure beauty immediately to seduce the drinker to surrender and savor. Drinking as good as it gets! |

2000 Château Léoville Las CasesSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/12/2017 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 100 pointsDecant for two hours for sure, preferably longer, and this very special wine will begin to reward- drinkable now, but only if you decant. I opened the first bottle of a case and will wait until 2020 and beyond for the rest. I am beyond pleased that I decided to open this wine. The aromatics, after decanting, are majestic in their ability to entice and excite. Textured, rich blackberry, plum, currant, cassis and cherry merge to create a dramatic delight. The fruit is palpable in your mouth. The fresh earth, sweet forest floor, complex and pleasing spice garden, and fragrant undergrowth are omnipresent. The tannins have blended with honest harmony as long as you welcome air to your drinking experience. This wine will evolve for decades and change from bodacious babe to stunning starlet to bountiful beauty - always pure and seamless in its mouth feel and classic in its stature. The delineation is remarkable, layered and textured now, and will become legendary. The 1982 has nothing on the 2000, and I have always considered the 82 the best vintage of Leoville Las Cases. The 82 can now claim second place. The finish… think marathon, one you could watch, experience and savor- not run!

2000 Château MonbousquetSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/26/2017 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 95 pointsHas turned into an old soul Bordeaux at the ripe young age of seventeen. Possesses all the characteristics of classically structured Bordeaux of 80's and 90's but benefits from the modern winemaking style and capabilities (and the vintage) of the 2000. Textured and rich with revealing plenty of blackberry, black currant, cassis, licorice, forest floor and spring garden, sweet barnyard and sweet tobacco. The silk tree blossom aromas, and silky smooth, balanced finish linger in mouth and memory.

2003 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/16/2016 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 96 pointsDouble decanted and put cork in two hours ahead of drinking. Aromatically exquisite during decant and then when serving black and blueberry fruit pie nose with cedar, cassis and spice. After time in glass the nose subsides and the rich taste and mouth feel grab the glory. This perfectly balanced, textured smooth, full bodied and ripe beauty is absolutely delicious in every way. The tannins are completed integrated giving the wine supple smoothness from tongue swirl to mid palate to finish. Love the opulence and ingratiating wonder of this wine. When PB gets it right, 1990, 2000, 2003 are shoulder to shoulder with the first growths.

2010 Franck Balthazar Cornas ChaillotSyrah more |
10/9/2014 - gsquireh Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep purple concentrated fruit that reveals cinnamon, cardamom, spice, blackberry, licorice, and smokey cedar forest. The tannins are present and want to soften and do with diligent decanting. In several hours, the tannins ripen like an heirloom tomato, becoming soft and supple, yet structured, allowing the wine to be spectacular to savor and allowing you to be witness to the experience of this wine transforming from awkward hidden pretty into a lush, hushed beauty sauntering in front of you. The wine became a balanced marvel in the mouth.
