4/10/2024 - jmoon Likes this wine: 95 pointsCompletely delicious from first pour evolved slightly over an hour or so but didn’t change much. Didn’t seem to need decant but certainly wouldn’t hurt taste it first. Lovely plush dark deep fruit probably at peak now. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

6/27/2023 - Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 95 pointsDeer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): Drank with my daughter as this is one of her birth year wines. 2.5 hour decant was perfect and this wine was drinking beautifully. Dark plummy fruit, mild tobacco, leather, so silky smooth and a long finish. Tannins were surprisingly subdued. She loved it and looking forward to the next bottle sometime next year. 5 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (6) |

8/8/2022 - Krokfjord Likes this wine: 93 pointsSlow-oxa i 7 timer, men trengte ytterligere to i dekanter for å finne sitt forføriske, mørkerødfruktige jeg. Etter 7+2 timer var vinen sensuell og silkebløt i munnen; med en raus men ikke ubalansert frukt, god (men ikke ekstrem) kompleksitet og en flott lengde. Spice, tobakk, svarte frukttoner, tydelig varm årgang men samtidig elegant. |

5/31/2022 - DoubleD1969 wrote: NRCork came out in 2 pieces. Poured a glass and let it sit for about 45 while I prepared dinner. Very purplish color. Initially closed. When I got back to it, notes of black licorice, tar, cedar chest and cigar emerged. Very intoxicating. The palate carried black cherry and plum flavors. Full-bodied with fairly smooth tannins and enough acidity to cut through some pan-seared pieces of ribeye. Tasted sweeter as it picked more air. Delicious although unsure if this wine will change for the better with more years. |

2/27/2022 - rocknroller wrote: NRMonthly Tasting Group: Aged Bordeaux & Napa (Baldamar, Roeville, MN): Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank a glass over 2.5 hours. I found this tight and taut never really showing what was there. I love LMHB, and I expect this is a a fine example, but even with the amount of time we had in glass, I just never thought this got past the youthful tannin and oak influences to really strut, let alone show itself. Plenty of stuffing and dark fruit is waiting to show to show itself. Score reserved, but tonight would be low 90's. |

2/27/2022 - chablis28 wrote: 95 pointsSiggy's btl tonight at Baldamor. This was opened at the venue so saw little air before drinking about 75 minutes later following some Champagne & whites. I let it sit in my glass for another hour or so prior to departure. This was near the top tonight for me. More air before the event would have been a plus as this started out slightly tannic but thankfully resolved nice in my glass. Terrific cigar ash along w/ faint lead pencil aromas. The color was a semi translucent deep ruby garnet red. At nearly 20yrs old this is in the pocket with possibly some upside but I was loving it tonight & thankful the lack of addl air didn't matter much. Supper balanced, mid weight, elegant with lifted weightless richness to its earth accented red fruit, mineral, tobacco & licorice. Sort of Burgundian in its feel. I could drink this again in a heartbeat. |

12/10/2021 - Jeff Leve wrote: 92 pointsI remain in the middle here. I like the wine, but as much as I try, I cannot love it. Lacking the concentration, lift, and complexity of the best years, the fruit is a bit overripe, the tannins are slightly too soft and the flavors lack all the smoke and tobacco, instead, focusing on the ripe and overripe fruits. |
