2015 BOND MatriarchNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/23/2021 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 91 pointsFor the first half, this bottle had an odd, slightly watery feel to it. As if the wine was a bit diluted? As time passed, it became more lush and robust. The bottle and cork were in fine condition, so not sure why the oddity. |

1/10/2021 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrinking reasonably well. Somehow a little less complex than I recall from other bottles of this vintage. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2010 Prieur de MeyneySt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/9/2021 - TomOfCT wrote: 93 pointsWow. This is drinking very well. Deep and complex flavors. Might be getting close to its peak. When I looked at the price after finishing the bottle, I was surprised at how low it was. This is a real value. |

2014 Harlan EstateOakville Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/26/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 98 pointsThe '14s are really hitting their stride. Robust fruits and a solid backbone without undue tannin levels. Age-based sediment was just beginning to form (and tastes so good!). |

2003 Château d'YquemSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
11/26/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 97 pointsAn extraordinary golden delight. Too many complex flavors to describe; this wine evolved over the course of two hours. |

2015 BOND MatriarchNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/15/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 93 pointsQuite tight (even after two hours open and a vinturi swirl) and a bit hot right now. Definitely shows potential. |

2013 Matthews ClaretColumbia Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/15/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is drinking very well. Very much a "Bordeaux style" wine, soft but with structure. More subtle fruits. |

2016 Château GloriaSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/14/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 88 pointsJust ok. Lacking a certain fullness I've come to expect from this label. Might be early still. |

2015 TOR Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To Kalon VineyardOakville more |
11/7/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 96 pointsWow. It's early, but drinking very well already. Robust fruits and solid structure. Ideal tannin level. This has many more years to go, but it isn't a crime to open one now! |

2015 Beaux Frères Pinot Noir Willamette Valleymore |
11/3/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 93 pointsWow. This is drinking really well. Rich for a Pinot Noir, this wine is showing a lot of deep, rich fruits. |

2009 Château ValandraudSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/25/2020 - TomOfCT Does not like this wine: 82 pointsI’ve had this wine several times before. This one was a dud. The bottle had been cellared in ideal conditions and definitely wasn’t corked. While the complexion changed several times over the course of 1.5 hours, it never opened or delivered. |

2001 Emidio Pepe Montepulciano d'Abruzzomore |
6/7/2020 - TomOfCT Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was a very interesting wine. While not tasting young, it tasted far younger than the vintage would suggest. No signs of brown around the edges. Really delicious and we’ll structured. |
