12/31/2022 - sboyle Likes this wine: 93 pointsBlack cherry and roses with a light bell pepper note in the background. Black cherry with floral notes on the palate with a stronger expression of bell pepper than on the aroma. Medium-plus body with medium-plus acidity and tannin with good length. Overall, its a pleasant right bank Bordeaux.

6/28/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis presents at first like a young, <5 y.o., grippy ink-colored wine. Scented of grape, iodine, and stone. Fascinating is how it expands and tests sensitivities. Breezy mountain lithic energy drives forward a seething, naive ink. It resembles porcini, cut stone, bay leaf coulis, French roast coffee beans, and maduro cigar wrappers. Green resin infused with terracotta keeps the base grounded. This wine is still pupating! If I had another bottle I would consider opening it 2025-2030.

6/8/2023 - Magnum PI Likes this wine: 95 pointsBrookie and I drank this bottle from her birth vintage, on her birthday, at V. Mertz, prior to the Matchbox 20 concert. I purchased this bottle many years ago, and have been looking forward to drinking it on a special occasion, which this certainly was. This bottle has been touted as a "wow" experience, a "future legend", and other superlatives. I found it to be nothing of the sort. Very good, enjoyable, but nothing all that remarkable. Very balanced and well-integrated, with a very dominant note of green pepper, which just didn't work for me. The class was undeniable, the finish was above average. There was nothing about it that took it from a very good bottle to the next level. Brookie thought it was exceptionally good, and perhaps the best bottle she has ever had. Ah, Brookie. Happy birthday.

2010 Château Lafite RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
6/29/2022 - csimm wrote: 98 pointsAn obvious youngster, but with the heralded 2010 vintage backing an already top-notch first growth classification, the 2010 Lafite was destined to offer an A-lister performance. On the first pop of the cork, this presented as unsurprisingly straight and level, but ultra-refined in a way that makes you feel like your palate is a complete moron. Its execution is a twelve-year-old in a tuxedo with a perfectly cut jib who is one of those child genius virtuoso Russian violinist types who is so stuffed with discipline and exceptional brainiac-talent endowment-ness that even making eye contact with him makes you instantly feel like you’ve wasted your complete life, what with your squandered college party days that eventually led to your current place in the world as a two-time divorced dad still clinging to your assistant supervisor position at your parent’s travel agency (You studied to be a court stenographer but that fell through because it was too stressful for you). Black cherry, currant, cedar, and some pebbly notes are placed ever so correctly in fitting formation so that each flavor is exactly 3.14159 cadence sensor units from the next. It’s like watching Jeopardy! and not knowing any of the answers, or rather, question-answers. So, basically, like watching Jeopardy!...

2/14/2020 - retired_and_roving Likes this wine: NRFrom the wine list at Legacy Records. Decanted and served - consumed over the course of dinner. Quite earthy and a bit herbaceous with green stemmy notes on the finish, red berries, medium weight and savory. Not the most riveting vintage, but still quite enjoyable particularly with beef tenderloin.

2013 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
2/25/2023 - JCMenendez Likes this wine: 93 pointsClassic, old school Napa Cab. Neither overripe, nor over extracted, nor over oaked. Drinking really nicely now; however, as with most 2013s Napa cabs there's a tannic spine that could use another couple years of taming or simply an hour in a decanter. Really food friendly, perfectly balanced, truly really nice and if you bought on release then it's a great QPR for age-worthy cab.

2017 Saint Cosme Côtes du RhôneSyrah more |
12/6/2021 - Z1nnfull Likes this wine: 88 pointsA reliably good, basic Rhone every year-probably the best in this price range. Good dark fruit, balanced between the fruit/the acidity/the elegance. These typically are best consumed in the 4-5 year old age range and the drinking window has just opened. I'd give it some air, though.

Explosive nose displaying incredibly concentrated opulent black fruit, black cherry, blackberry pie, lavender, licorice, grilled NY strip, strong tobacco, garrigue, black olives, white pepper and earth. Unbelievable concentration, layers upon layers of explosive black fruit, rich and unctuous but also fluid, perfect balance, and the finish that never ends. Absolutely stunning wine.

2010 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. JacquesPinot Noir more |
8/1/2022 - Topper wrote: 96 pointsAlways a great wine. Tasted side-by-side with the '10 Clos de Beze and the contrasts were apparent. Both great wines but in very different styles. The CSJ was full of flavor but accompanied by a delicate, almost lacy quality. The flavors were of chamomile and sandalwood but there is so much going on, that it is hard to pinpoint particular flavors. It is drinking very nicely but can withstand 10-20 more years. The Beze was a different animal altogether. It was darker in color, aroma and flavor. Darker red fruit, almost compote-like with big brooding flavors underneath that seemed to be straining to come out. This needs at least ten more years and probably more to show at its best but don't pass up an opportunity to try it, whenever that presents itself. It is remarkable wine.

11/23/2022 - NostraBacchus Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis was first slightly closed, took a good 2-3 hours in the decanter to open up but wow was this great. First austere, but layered, deep and complex, with notes of red and darker red berries, some dark graphitey/mineral notes, animalic notes, some rose petals, violets, also some underwood, spices, some smoke. It‘s medium-full bodied, super silky, with some medium+ tannin that is incredibly silky, some medium-high acidity and excellent overall balance and complexity. Long finish with fantastic complexity that is building up. Great Burgundy of the very highest level. This could use another 5 years or so in the cellar.
