Château Langoa Barton
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Classify under "did not suck". Especially in 2009, it does not have to hide behind its more muscular brother, the Leoville, but, in my opinion, outshines it. — 10 years ago
Flowers Vineyard & Winery
Camp Meeting Ridge Estate Vineyard Chardonnay 2012
Stunning Chard. Structure, complexity, everything you want, nothing you don't. Distincly Californian, but in the best sense. 2012 — 10 years ago
Louis Jadot
Domaine du Duc de Magenta Monopole Clos de la Chapelle Morgeot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay
2013 barrel sample. Rich and complex. Will be a beautiful wine. The 2013s seem overall much richer and fatter than most people expected. — 10 years ago
Marchesi de' Frescobaldi
Lamaione Castelgiocondo Toscana Merlot 1999

Boris Wiedenfeld-Needham
One of the better American chards I have had. The collaborations of 3 generations of winemakers, comprising all of SCs winemakers over the years. Lean, the opposite of the butter-oakombs, but with so much subtlety and fleshy enough to be thoroughly enjoyable. — 10 years ago
