2016 K Vintners Syrah Royal CityWashington more |
5/16/2024 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 95 pointsLuscious, juicy but refined and weightless, light on its feet. Blackberry with a bit of anise. Delicious, and went well with boeuf Bourgogne. |

1990 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
11/4/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 95 pointsFragrant, old-world barnyard, horse sweat, a bit tired, whereas the 1989 was in a totally different place. The '89 was much fresher and had the acidity to carry it many more years. The '90 developed nicely as the evening progressed, integrating the barnyard with herbal characteristics. The '89 not as much. This was a thoroughly enjoyable and fascinating bottle, but I would recommend drinking any you may have very soon. |

10/8/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 93 pointsLight in color, and a beautiful fragrance of dark fruits plum and cherry. Light and deft in the mouth too, a perfect choice for my crippled palate. |

9/11/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 92 pointsClassy and exotic, with a great, fragrant nose and a lot of deeper fruit on the palate. Juicy red plum. A beautiful 2nd wine for Cos. |

6/3/2023 - WineAggregate wrote: NRI should have followed the CT drinking window advice. This bottle was well past its prime, rather overripe and pruny. |

2015 Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Vieilles Vignes La LouisianeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/28/2023 - WineAggregate Does not like this wine: NRSomething is "off" with this bottle. Not corked, but out of balance, way too sweet, cloying berry flavors, and a disagreeable finish, like rust. Dark cherry backbone. |

2012 Monksgate Pinot Noir TrinityYamhill-Carlton more |
2/11/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 93 pointsNot having had Monk's for quite awhile, this really surprised me with its aromas and mature flavors. Dark stone fruit, fully mature but not over the hill. The consensus favorite of 5 PNs. |

2012 Antiquum Farm Pinot Noir Juel Antiquum FarmWillamette Valley more |
1/28/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 90 pointsGood bottle of wine, but not a good PN. Seems like a pinot trying to be a malbec, perhaps. Lots of sediment, very saturated and a bit gritty. |

2000 Château Clerc MilonPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/7/2023 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 93 pointsSaddle leather, damp fall forest floor, nice saturation, enough fruit to keep it lively, just a beautiful bordo. |

1990 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/27/2022 - WineAggregate Likes this wine: 95 pointsA bit of roughness (similar to Rutherford dust) and, surprisingly, eucalyptus. Last of the 6-bottle blind tasting. Three Pauillacs, three Napa cabs from Howell Mtn., the differences were striking among the 6, but difficult to pick out the Bordos from the Napas. This one in particular could have been mistaken for a Napa wine. |
