2005 Château Lagrange (St. Julien)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/1/2015 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 90 pointsA nice wine, but faced with tough competition. A more austere wine - earthy palate, tobacco and coffee note. Good strucutre, but missing the fruit. |

2005 Château LascombesMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/1/2015 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 94 pointsThe 05 Lascombes continues to perform beautifully and consistently. Still young, loaded with dark fruit, with cassis and dark chocalate notes. Silky texture and lively tannins leaves me looking forward to the next bottle. A great wine and outstanding value. |

2001 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Ardanza Reserva EspecialTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
9/8/2014 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 91 pointsMuch better than previous bottle...the raisin sweetness has subsided, replaced by juicy dark fruits. Also more depth on the palate. Not sure how this garnered the ratings, but I am looking forward to seeing how this evolves. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1/18/2014 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank with the 2007. Both superb, 08 is a bigger bolder wine. The 2007 is more nuanced, and beautifully integrated. tough to call the winner, will have to retest next year... |

12/24/2013 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank over 2 days. Day one: strong bouquet and full bodied, but a tinge green. This bottle was singing on day 2. Will off on this one for a few years to see if it resolves in the bottle. |

1994 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
12/1/2013 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 93 pointsEven better than the previous two bottles. Lush fruit and velvet texture are superb. While this definitely isn't fading, i think this is peak drinking and should be enjoyed in near term. |

2010 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
1/29/2013 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 92 pointsFirst bottle of 2010. The red fruit is distinct and good crisp acidity, but not quite the depth or body of 2007/08/09. Delicious nonetheless! |

2007 Pax Syrah Obsidian VineyardKnights Valley more |
1/12/2013 - InflationHedge Likes this wine: 92 pointsMy first foray into the 07 Obsidian. Surprisingly approachable, abundant dark fruit - blackberry and stewed plum. The tannins are prominent end but supple and pleasant. There is something green, that hopefully will resolve with time. Very young and likely to only get better. Will revisit in ~18 months. |
