7.1

Youthful color and aromas, some cardboard and corked notes, clearly partially corked, sad for so much good wine underneath, oh well. — 2 days ago

9.5

Still quite nicely-structured, definitely a mountain Cab with its somewhat firm tannins, long and lush fruit into the finish, could easily go another 10-20 years based on this bottle, lovely!! — 11 days ago

En magnum. Classic Gamay fruit, some structure, but nicely evolved, medium-weight, medium-long finish, solid Moulin-a-Vent!! — a month ago

En magnum. Absolutely brilliant Napa Merlot, very youthful fruit, balanced, great freshness and acidity, not at all hot (12.9% abc), long finish, has many years left!! — a month ago

9.4

Vassos and wild Provençal herb aromas, complex fruit flavors, still structured, but seems in its drinking window, long finish, a tad rustic, but quite good!! — 2 days ago

9.4

Lovely youthful purple color, cepage of 14-15 indigenous Portuguese grapes, violets, red fruits, minerals, very fine balance, long finish, should improve for 5-10 years, maybe more. Just a lovely wine!! — 18 days ago

9.3

Lovely older mountain Pinot, Matteson Vyd, supple and balanced, great acidity, long finish, just a wonderful California Pinot Noir!! — a month ago

9.5

En magnum. Rich, earthy, Provençal herbs, still quite youthful and fresh, long finish, really an amazingly fine Bandol that still needs aging!! — 9 days ago

9.2

Lovely rich white, mostly Alvarinho, apparently originally made “in error” when grape juice was left on the skins longer than planned, creamy and medium-long finish, very nice! — 17 days ago

9.3

Rich dark and red fruit aromas, similar flavors, balanced, just a touch of heat in the finish, smells and tastes like a wine from Russian River, lovely. — a month ago
