1999 Joseph Phelps Insignia
4/16/2022 - psusfca Likes this wine: 97 Points
Still a youngster Dark purple, no bricking so far. Tannins still present but well resolved. I really think the merlot brings out all the things we love about Insignia. We reversed things and started with Insignia (3 hour decant) and paired with24 month aged Dutch Gouda and 18 month aged cheddar from Australia. Amazing. Then some Brewer Clifton Pinot Noir to go with Duck ‘a L’Orange with Tokyo Turnips and their greens and duck fat roasted fingerling potatoes. Wonderful meal. And then we experienced food coma as we watched warriors game 1.

2001 Blankiet Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard
12/7/2021 - psusfca Does not like this wine: 75 Points
This is the lowest rating I have ever given a wine on here. I wanted to like it, but this was awful. I opened it and tasted. Not corked but no positive elements. Tasted again several times to see if it just needed air and time. It remained terrible. Maybe it is just my palate, but I have Napa Cabs from many of the great producers. I hate pouring out basically a full bottle of wine but it was just not enjoyable. I still have a 2002 left. I'll give it a try soon. Fingers crossed

2018 Poderi Luigi Einaudi Dogliani Superiore Vigna Tecc

This is an utterly yummy wine. It starts out herbaceous but then red fruit and a lingering finish on back of the palate. I am a big fan of dolcetto and go two thumbs up on this one. Not sure it gets much better but will likely hold well at this delicious level at least for five years.
