2/17/2024 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 93 pointsTwo more years in. This bottle seems to have lost a little character. Still good, but less distinctive. Hope these aren’t fading prematurely. |

7/18/2023 - Gkautry wrote: 85 pointsNot a fan at first. Thin. Light fruit. Not what you would expect. OK to drink, but underwhelming. Will try on day 2. |

2005 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/31/2023 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 98 pointsDrank extremely well. Profile similar to what you would expect. Drank alongside a 2012 Rudd Oakville Samantha’s, 2015 Verite, and 2005 Abreu, so really stood out as unique. 3 hour decant, could have improved with more. Excellent wine. |
Red |
2019 Hourglass Cabernet Franc BluelineNapa Valley more |
5/31/2023 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 95 pointsStill very tight and young. Did not have the chance to decant for more than an hour, but it did start to open a little. Lots of coffee and leather at this point. Should be really good in a few years. |

2013 The MascotNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/20/2023 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 94 pointsConsistent. Aging well. Still has less structure than the ‘14 in my opinion, but a solid wine. Looking forward to direct comparison with the ‘15 and ‘16. |

2020 Maddalena Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Roblesmore |
3/2/2023 - Gkautry Likes this wine: 89 pointsRecommend as an alternative to Quest and Pessimist. Similar in the usual Paso style a little more fruit forward. Good weekday drinker. |
