2014 Mayacamas Vineyards Merlot

Mt. Veeder more

5/22/2024 - Robmcl920 Likes this wine: 91 points

The '14 Mayacamas Merlot is beautiful, but I think would ideally be aged a few more years, as it seemed a bit reticent especially on opening. With a decant and on day two, the wine improved. As with the '14 Cabernet at Mayacamas which I recently tasted, the '14 Merlot is more of a Mayacamas wine than a Napa Merlot...the signatures here are very unique.

On the nose, I found blood orange, red berry fruit, red florals, mint, anise, and a hint of bell pepper. On the palate, the wine is medium to light in body, with some tannic heft at the back end but pretty silky and smooth for a Napa wine. I found the flavor profile pretty reticent here, but it showed a similar profile of red berry fruit, mint, and red floral tones, showing a flavor profile I associate more with burgundy or Barolo than a Napa wine.

The concern I have with this wine, and same with a lot of Mayacamas wines, is that it's unclear if this will ever be wide open / expressive and a wine that's really pleasurable to drink. It's nice today, but feels like it's holding something back.

A tad reductive. In the nose yellow fruit, plum, but also minerals. Palate a bit bitter and slightly medicinal.

2005 Château Brane-Cantenac

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/13/2024 - MariusA Likes this wine: 94 points

Opened as part of comparing three bottles of bottles from the Margaux appellation from the 2005 vintage at three different price points. The bottles were 1.) Ch. Margaux, 2.) Ch. Palmer, and 3.) Ch. Brane-Cantenac

Decanted for 2 hours. The Brane-Cantenac is in the perfect drinking window right now. Tannins have mellowed and tertiary flavors are emerging. Slight bricking. Still plenty of fruit left. Wonderful bottle and my daughter's favorite wine.

Lots of fun and unscientific. Both the '05 Margaux and '05 Palmer need more time. Very enjoyable tasting!

Opened as part of comparing three bottles of bottles from the Margaux appellation from the 2005 vintage at three different price points. The bottles were 1.) Ch. Margaux, 2.) Ch. Palmer, and 3.) Ch. Brane-Cantenac

Decanted for 2 hours. Blockbuster aromatics and nose. Full bodied, great moutful but tannins are still quite pronounced. WOTN for me but I'm confident it will be even greater in 5 years. Love this wine. 97

Lots of fun and unscientific. The '05 Margaux was terrific but needs significantly more time while the Brane-Cantenac performed really well because it's in a great drinking window.

5/22/2024 - mattym19 Likes this wine: 90 points

By the glass at SCA Resto in Buenos Aires. Nose is slightly dried berries with plums and chocolate cherries and a bit of worn leather. Palate is full bodied with great balance—definitely tastes like a cooler climate wine; more plums, barely ripe, and dark chocolate with a little savory spice and a dash of cinnamon. Very plush, low tannin but good acidity to balance the plushness. Perfect with the lamb rump but even on its own this is a killer value for less than $20 a bottle.

Watermelon, strawberry, cherry, and lemon, a rain water freshness. A real purity of fruit on this one. Not a lot of complexity on this rosé, but also not that you would want there to be. This is the perfect wine to be drinking poolside, with a smoked salmon salad beside you.

As for my Feb note. However, it seems ever ‘sweeter’ and less well balanced for me so I have dropped it a point or two.
My wife likes it so she would raise it a point or more. So:
Average ca. 86

Decanted for 2 hours. Still in primary phase but absolutely silky smooth and in harmony. Very enjoyable to drink now but will undoubtedly drink better in 5-10 years. Hard to give score but 95 for now with upside.

Excellent Alexander Valley Cab, dark cherry with cassis and hint of oak. Tannins have softened over time and meld well with the fruit and acid. A perennial favourite.

1995 Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more

5/22/2024 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 98 points

This is alluring and pampering a Lafite I've ever head. The texture is refined to pure silk. You cannot take a sip without sinking back into your chair, closing your eyes, and succumbing to instant relaxation like a spa treatment for the inside of your mouth. The fruit is still deep, dark, and impenetrable, black-toned and loaded with black truffles and other deeply pitched savory elements. This is in a prime drinking zone and will coast there effortlessly for a long time.
