1/21/2024 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 95 pointsUnbelievable purity of fruit -- deep concentration without the over-ripeness that afflicts much Napa wine at this point. A reason this has a singular status. |

1/17/2024 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 94 pointsThe bottle I drank went through a lot...ordered for a ski weekend 3 years ago, the shipment arrived late and so spent a night outside (presumably freezing) before being brought in and left in a basement for 3 years...so it's hard to judge. |

12/27/2022 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 95 pointsFantastic experience drinking over a few hours for Christmas dinner. Great evolution — initially really concentrated fruit, then notes of olive, then a beautiful game / funk in hour 2. |

2002 Sean Thackrey Orion Rossi VineyardSt. Helena Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
6/4/2021 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 96 pointsSuperlative experience—completely singular nose of winter spices (dad said cinnamon), berry. As it opened in the glass over an hour, the fruit came through more, so delicate and nuanced. Just a really unique wine. |

2019 Jean-Marc Burgaud Morgon Côte du PyGamay more |
5/14/2021 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 90 pointsDrank with nay at cafe kush—very fun dinner by the water. Fun Miami wine in nay’s words—not our typical style, medium bodied, almost smelled like a high end fruit plate—lots of raspberry, some mint, acid. |

5/3/2021 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank over two days and it evolved a lot. Right when opened, classic Cali chard—very toasted oak, butter vanilla, but really nicely balanced w acid. By day two, totally transformed into tropical fruits, pineapple. |

2/24/2021 - Big Dog E wrote: 90 pointsFirst rating was probably harsh but it’s definitely not a 97 point wine, at least not yet. Coravin’d another glass. Some tar and flower on the nose, light fruits on the palate. |

2018 Domaine Brusset Gigondas Les Hauts de MontmirailRed Rhone Blend more |
2/26/2021 - Big Dog E wrote: 88 pointsProbably way too young, but didn’t do it for me. Tight on the nose, tannic/high acid, raspberry coulis. Maybe in a few years but I wouldn’t go out and buy |

2018 Envinate Taganan Parcela MargalaguaCanary Islands Red Blend more |
1/25/2021 - Big Dog E wrote: 86 pointsMaybe this is just super tight, but this was one of my bigger recent wine disappointments. Coravin’d a big glass and drank over 90 min. On opening, the nose was...nothing? Really—just not fragrant at all. Body was a perfectly fine light to medium bodied wine. Over the hour I started to get a bit of flower perfume, but could have just been wishful thinking. Will check back in in a year but disappointing for now. |

12/31/2020 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrank on New Years in Miami with davey, Reese, mike, nay, and stone crab. I don’t really know anything about champagne so bought this to see if there was anything revelatory, but didn’t get there. It was quite nice—not too sweet, opened up to some more interesting notes—but for me, champagne is still champagne. Will keep looking for something that changes that for me! |

1/2/2021 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 93 pointsBeautiful cab drank with Davey in Miami. We pulled it bc he had had another he’d thought had turned—this was anything but. Had another decade or two. Dark stone fruit when poured, then opened up into berries and underbrush. Nice viscosity and tannins on the finish. |

2007 Sine Qua Non Syrah Dangerous BirdsCentral Coast more |
12/31/2020 - Big Dog E wrote: 97 pointsAnother insane wine for NYE. Decanted for 90min. Dark, dark red. Incredible pine, eraser, and berries, the latter especially as it opened up in the glass. Silky, thick mouthfeel, much more fruit on the palate but still balanced, minute finish. Epic |

1999 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |
12/31/2020 - Big Dog E wrote: 98 pointsOne of those revelatory wine tasting experiences. Been wanting to drink this for ages, and pops opened it for New Years in Miami w nay, mikey, and Reese. Beautiful pure ruby. The nose is insane right after opening—cedar, smoke, charcuterie, dark fruit, some must, minty/basil according to nay—just an insane, nuanced nose. And just gets better on the palate—mid to full bodied with all the nose accentuated. It’s just so awesome and balanced. |

2017 Booker Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon My Favorite NeighborPaso Robles more |
12/29/2020 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 91 pointsNot that it’s a bad wine, but Disappointed with this one. Huge fruit, super tannic...this will live for a while...but none of the nuance I remember from the tasting a couple months ago. Did open up a bit to raspberry coulis and a quick whiff of shortbread, but overwhelming fruit and oak. |

12/23/2020 - Big Dog E Likes this wine: 94 pointsAwesome, unique wine. Beautiful amber color, nose that was a little hesitent / strange at first (almost an orange liquor) that opened into lovely blood orange and fresh apricot. Would never guess it’s so high alcohol—lovely balance. |
