2005 Château Cos d'Estournel St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Drank this next to the 2003 and the 2005 was noticeably better. Very round and lush with the perfect amount of fruit. Great mouth feel from start to finish.

Wow. What a complex wine. So many amazing things happening all at once. Thomas Rivers is a wine making genius.

2010 Robert Foley Claret Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend

This puppy needs a massive decant. The first two hours of it being open are pretty useless. Then the wine comes together with some structure and dark fruits. Medium finish with the perfect hint of raisin on the back end. An enjoyable wine but it still does not really compete with the 2003 Foley Claret.
