Stone fruit, slate, mineral, high acid

    2/6/21, 8:53 AM - If you're planning ahead, I'd give it an hour open!

Dark cherry, vanilla, tobacco, dusty tannin, lots of sediment

  • Bakerbd commented:

    1/13/21, 6:54 PM - Stood up for about a week, did not decant (though that would have been a good idea in retrospect!)

Ripe black fruits, cigar, fine tannin, plush. Riper and more modern than I was expecting, but still great with a steak

  • Bakerbd commented:

    12/20/19, 1:40 PM - @Mark1npt interesting, I don't have other experience with this wine so not sure. I bought this bottle from K&L (who I assume acquired it from a private collection), so no way to know about storage.

2016 William & Mary Cabernet Sauvignon Shifflett Ranch Oak Knoll District

Red currant and cedar, pencil lead, layers of flavor. Too young but couldn't help myself from trying a bottle

  • Bakerbd commented:

    12/3/18, 9:32 PM - That was my current gut-impression score; expect it to get even better!

2016 Pax Syrah Sonoma Hillsides Russian River Valley

Closed at first, but eventually becomes a violet-scented, almost impenetrably black, iron-laden, peppery, dark-fruited classic syrah

  • Bakerbd commented:

    3/12/18, 4:35 PM - Only a few hours with the bottle open, but I definitely think that it could handle a long decant. That said, not planning to open either of my two remaining bottles for a few years if possible!

Autumnal - forest floor and decaying leaves. Not much fruit left.

  • Bakerbd commented:

    3/11/18, 8:33 PM - @jmoore431 - agreed! The aged "forest floor" aspect was what I liked most about the wine. Score was due to more the wine being fairly simple/one-note rather than lacking fruit! My (quick after-the-fact) note didn't convey that well.

Bing cherry, boysenberry, earth, dusty tannin. Med acid, med - body, refreshing, best with a light chill. Have heard D&R wines compared to cru beaujolais and that seems appropriate here.

  • Bakerbd commented:

    5/22/15, 7:40 AM - Pnp, though it certainly got better with air, so I would decant for a couple hours if you have the time!

Awesome white burgundy. Minerality. Nice oak and full body. Precise. Crisp floral notes and white fruits. Tasted from magnum. Bouley. NYC.

    8/29/14, 2:06 PM - Nice - have heard great things about PYCM! I have a bottle of one of his village wines, will need to try soon
