2009 Château MeyreHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/11/2020 - hicmndr Does not like this wine: 75 pointsHas a funky odor, with strong raisin flavors. I haven't had this before so maybe it's just past the optimal drinking window. |

2010 Sean Minor Pinot NoirCarneros more |
11/11/2013 - hicmndr Likes this wine: 85 pointsLots of cherry / fruit up front....a little sweet for me. After sitting for a couple hours the sweetness mellowed and flavors of cola emerged. Vacuum sealed the bottle and drank the next 2 nights. Tasted the best on the 3rd night, so I think it needs more time in the bottle. |
