2021 Evangelos Bagias Petit VerdotLodi more |
10/26/2023 - Cole Likes this wine: 93 pointsSo much charcoal, so much fruit; an 1890s coal miner breakdancing after work. |

2005 Domaine Rossignol Trapet Gevrey-ChambertinPinot Noir more |
8/28/2023 - Cole Likes this wine: 92 pointsTannins softer than mineral water, and a distinct note of moist forest floor and fiddlehead ferns. A little black raspberry cola and blood orange zest on the finish if you let your imagination run wild, but not really and honestly not really necessary. |

2005 Château Fongaban Castillon Côtes de BordeauxRed Bordeaux Blend more |
8/27/2023 - Cole wrote: 89 pointsChristmas pine and black pepper on the nose. Soft slightly bitter black plum skins a on the palate. The first sip was magic, but the second glass now tastes like someone 3D printed well-aged fancy Bordeaux- it's just lacking in soul. |

2005 Château FontenilFronsac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/26/2023 - Cole Likes this wine: 91 pointsUnbelievably, not ready to drink yet. It's still filled with graphite and black cherry skin tannin. Cedar on the nose and finish. It's been breathing for an hour and it's still tight. |

1983 A. Noirot-Carriere Puligny-MontrachetChardonnay more |
8/14/2023 - Cole Likes this wine: 92 pointsBaked white apple slices on freshly baked marzipan drizzled with a surprisingly salty cream. |

2005 Château HauteriveMédoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/29/2023 - Cole wrote: 92 pointsOpened a bottle immediately when I bought it (2010?), and it showed very poorly (80? Maybe 75? It was all water and tannin). Now though it is like drinking freshly picked blackberries dusted with sage, celery seed, and cracked black pepper. |

2003 Cru Cellars Chardonnay Row 22The Hamptons more |
7/24/2023 - Cole Likes this wine: 92 pointsThere was a while when this was my favorite bottle of wine, but it's too old now and all the tropical fun is gone so it's just salty, barrel-aged apple juice that tastes too much like my life. |

1969 Château Haut-BrionPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/26/2023 - Cole wrote: 85 pointsThis was like drinking a hundred year old shoe full of cherries. |

2020 Bodegas Krontiras Malbec NaturalMendoza more |
10/29/2022 - Cole wrote: 92 pointsFirst Malbec I've respected in forever. Tart, tannic, and still juicy cranberries and blueberry kool-aid mix (sans sugar). |

3/23/2021 - Cole wrote: 93 pointsToasty brick-red pruned cherries. Completely holding up (by a thread). |

2004 Château MongraveyMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/28/2020 - Cole wrote: 94 pointsPerfect Bordeaux/Margaux. Over ripe plum, smoked rhubarb, petrichor, unscented fresh laundry. Very long finish. |

2001 Domaine Bernard Morey et Fils Maranges 1er Cru La FussièrePinot Noir more |
5/2/2020 - Cole wrote: 92 pointsa little red fruit, a lot of burnt green walnuts and walnut shells... still lots of acid, lots of very subtle tannin, and dry brownie mix. very long finish. |

1975 Château La Tour FigeacSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/30/2020 - Cole Likes this wine: 91 pointsExtremely happy it held up- woodsy, unwashed raspberries and plum skin aerosol... even the sediment was soft now; very well "stewed" fruit. It was days away from the cork giving away. |
| Red |
2004 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos d'AudignacPinot Noir more |
11/5/2019 - Cole wrote: 88 pointsDried and reconstituted dark red fruit... had a bit of an oloroso sherry nose... quite nutty... threw a remarkable sediment for a Burgundy. It was disappointing on opening, but glorious after an hour. |

2018 Cambrian Rock ShirazHeathcote more |
11/4/2019 - Cole Does not like this wine: 85 pointsA little ginger/galangal and violet on the nose with some pomegranate on the palate, but nothing memorable to speak of. Punch is out of line with the price. |
| Red |
1974 Scanavino BaroloNebbiolo more |
10/10/2019 - Cole wrote: 91 pointsBlack cherries, tar, blood oranges. 10 or 15 years too old, but still pretty lovely after letting the sediment settle. |

8/29/2019 - Cole Likes this wine: 93 pointsPerfect blend of old world and new world styles. |
| Red |
2015 Palacios Remondo Rioja La MontesaGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
7/26/2019 - Cole Likes this wine: 92 pointsEither the best Rioja or the worst Rioja depending on if it not tasting at all like Rioja makes you upset. Heavy on Garnacha, and barely a food wine. |
| Red |
1987 Château La RouchonneSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/3/2018 - Cole wrote: 88 pointsA bit behind its time. Grass, brick, mustard (unwanted), and very soft wild blackberries throughout. |
| Red |
2011 Chemin Ribian Châteauneuf-du-PapeGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
11/12/2017 - Cole wrote: 85 pointsWeak for CdP, but still a good bottle to open given the price. |
| White |
1986 Noirot-Carrière Chassagne-MontrachetChardonnay more |
5/9/2017 - Cole wrote: 94 pointsStill exciting, still fresh, and tastes exactly like the last person noted... color was probably markedly darker though, but it was good enough that it made seeing the Rangers eliminated far more palatable. |
| Red |
1982 Château du TertreMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/4/2016 - Cole wrote: 91 pointsPrune, tamarind, and little cherry cola... over the hill by a step but interesting nonetheless. A little clove and rotten basil/garden dirt on the finish |
