1996 A. R. Lenoble Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Millésimé 95 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Wonderful yeasty notes open up on the nose. Toast and some zesty citrus on the palate, this feels alive in your mouth (beyond the bubbles). Great structure. Still maintaining some good bubbles after 13 years. Great bottle that I wish I had more of.

2001 Hagafen Pinot Noir Napa Valley 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
This bottle was showing a little age it seemed, but it lacked little. Still had some cherry notes on the nose. Mellow on the palate, with very pleasant berry and cherry notes. Good mid length finish. Drink now.

2005 Windward Vineyard Pinot Noir Monopole 91 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles
Very good Pinot Noir. Mild on the nose, it had an earthier characteristic that was very enjoyable. The fruit was present on both the nose and palate, but not as over the top as some Pinot Noirs are. Great finish.

Tasted alongside the 2004 A.P. Vin Garys' Vineyard. This was more austere than the A.P. Vin. Mellower in the fruit flavors, very good balance. Very enjoyable.

Amazing flavors of buttered popcorn. Notes of citrus and oak, but not so oaky as to be out of balance. Great bottle!

2006 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Koplen Vineyard 89 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Nice spiciness and fruit characteristics, like peppered cherries. The finish really blossoms with these characteristics, which was enjoyable.
