2009 Zaca Mesa Syrah Black Bear BlockSanta Ynez Valley more |
3/27/2021 - GMC@TX Likes this wine: NRStill drinking fantastic. My second bottle drunk within past 6 months so doesn't seem like a fluke (also had 8 barrel syrah, same.vintage, same result: holding up well beyond the indicated life). |

1999 Domaine du Meix-Foulot Mercurey 1er Cru Les VeleysPinot Noir more |
1/27/2012 - GMC@TX wrote: NRProbably my 9th or 10th bottle, all consumed within the past 6 months. Great this time: some cherry survives making a nicely balanced, earthy wine-- but I've had some vinegar on the way. |

2001 Jean et Sébastien Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru SéchetChardonnay more |
1/28/2012 - GMC@TX wrote: NRProbably my 12th bottle. They've ranged from completely oxidized to almost fresh, but this was right in the sweet spot: deep yellow color, mature, rich caramel notes, but not too far in the evolution. Got a few more bottles, I'm drinking up since there have been a few landmines (to return oxidized bottles before retailer fails), but this may have more life. |

2006 Domaine Yves Cuilleron Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes SignéSyrah more |
1/25/2012 - GMC@TX wrote: NRSmoky nose. Juicy fruit (not the gum... maybe some muted cherry if I had to pick). Strong but inoffensive tannins. Pretty solid. |

1/23/2012 - GMC@TX wrote: NRGood nose. Rich color. Ample, dense fruit. Concentrated currants/raisins. Gentle tannins to my memory, decent acid balance. Going to hold on to my other bottle for a while. |

2003 Paul Blanck RieslingAlsace more |
12/19/2011 - GMC@TX wrote: NRConcur with previous note, v insightful on round, even heavy finish. Consistent with Blanck's dry style in a less focused vintage. Aroma is a wonder with strong petrol. I think this is a well made wine not for those who insist on a tight acid finish on their rieslings. (via Cor.kz) |

2001 Bernard Levet Côte-Rôtie La Chavaroche / La PérolineSyrah more |
12/10/2011 - GMC@TX wrote: NRSeemingly light body but with impressive tannins adding structure (still a little cottonmouth on the finish after some air exposure). Otherwise black olives, gamey as indicated below. Opened in the morning, recorked after a little breathing and stored for late dinner with good results. Will go buy more. |

2009 Hartford / Hartford Court Pinot Noir RoséSonoma Coast more |
6/4/2010 - GMC@TX wrote: NRBeautiful peach/pink watercolor. Much less cherry and more acidity than other Pinot rosés I have had. This came off like a light refreshing chard or white Bordeaux. Well put together. |

6/3/2010 - GMC@TX wrote: NRNot a careful tasting. Outdoor concert. I made sure the bottle was a nice temp, though so: lots of oak; not so much spice or fruit that you would think this is OZ; nevertheless bigger than I remembered (have had one bottle and a retailer tasting; for some reason I had the impression of not-too-much-oak and CA (or pretty heavy rhone) style syrah. |

5/26/2010 - GMC@TX wrote: NRDisappointing nose of acetone right after pop but a quick pour into a small carafe showed a beautiful deep purple color with no indication of oxidation. Nicely integrated at this point. Maybe 15-20 minutes later, the nose matched the taste. A little plummy (prune-y?) fruit first with gentle oak and earthy tannins backing it up. |

5/14/2010 - GMC@TX wrote: NRThis is absurdly belated so I will try to demonstrate some integrity and present just the facts. It came highly recommended by the barman (he wasn't the sommelier but he was the only guy in the wine bar attached to the hotel intercontinental in Siena. Young, yet extremely knowledgable and professional ) over the more expensive and definitely more famous DEI vino nobile. What I recall is my party enjoyed it and the more experienced (but no less ignorant) among us are highly prejudiced in favor of Montalcino so it was a tough crowd. |
