1996 Château MontroseSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/5/2017 - MyWine2009 Likes this wine: 94 pointsMy new benchmark Bordeaux. Nice Cab notes but so well blended I can barely pick out the other varietals. Slight finish of faint black pepper. Color is so light looks like Grenache, did not need more than 30m decant! I’m new to Bordeaux but now I’m beginning to see what all the fuss is about! Nice to drink a bottle of 20+ years. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

10/3/2017 - MyWine2009 wrote: 88 pointsNow I understand BdM better. DRY! Very tannic. Unripe fruit. Better with food. Would be interesting to taste high-end producer, then perhaps give it another go. If you love dry reds, this is a nice choice. The wine seems well-crafted. I would probably choose this over a Cali Cab for a pasta pairing or something that required a tannic, structured dry red. I must admit I'm very limited on Italian varietals. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2007 Sea Smoke Pinot Noir TenSta. Rita Hills more |
5/7/2016 - MyWine2009 Likes this wine: 85 pointsOne of my top 3 PNs but this one, sadly, was past it's prime. I think ideally 5 years from vintage is good for Sea Smoke. Aromas of red fruit still present and you can tell that this was very good a few years ago. |
