Watermelon Jolly Rancher nose.
Full body of cedar, tobacco and dark fruit.
Silky mouthfeel followed by a long, gritty finish.
Big fan!

1996 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut
10/19/2022 - napajournal Likes this wine: 97 Points
I’m a Napa Cab guy who recently had a mind-blowing experience with a 1971 Dom Oenotheque. That one bottle triggered a bubbly adventure to scout and sample a variety of exciting champagne bottles. While still in the early stages of my champagne journey, this 1996 Krug Brut was a fun one to drink today. Golden honey color and butterscotch candy nose with graceful bubbles and impressive poise for its age. I can understand how this is over the hill for some; not for me. Gorgeous, lengthy and on the mark. Drank a little for lunch with Halibut and a little for dinner with a chicken sandwich. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Cheers!

2001 Abreu Madrona Ranch
12/18/2021 - napajournal Likes this wine: 99 Points
This 20-year-old Madrona Ranch is special! Serious blue graphite with a seductive, leathery grip. Brad Grimes’ sophomore vintage. Definitely no slump.
Pop and pour, drank over four hours. Definitely didn’t get a past-its-prime vibe. This particular bottle and cork was pristine, and impeccable provenance. On back side of the curve but still near the top. Tasted like a 2010.
