Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite
Les Légendes R Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Flinty and subdued until it opened up. Then subtle blue cheese and pepper. Long tannin. Not a lot of body. — 7 years ago
Paul Hobbs
CrossBarn Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
Rhubarb on the nose. Dark honey and black cherry. Baked fruit. Sage but in honey. Finish is tannin free and smooth. Compared to a burgundy we tasted it next to it is a lot fatter and sweeter. — 7 years ago
Château Grand Corbin Manuel
St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2004
Improved with time after breathing. Subtle fruit. Less cherry and honey than the Napa merlot we had — 7 years ago
Domaine Coillot
Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2012
Strong sweetness to begin. Round and rich mouthfeel. Big but not overpowering. Just the thing with a washed rind cheese. Complexity on the finish of a musky chocolate. — 7 years ago
Heron Wines
Laely Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Heavy fruit and tobacco. Not too sweet. Full bodied. — 7 years ago
Kevin Donovan
Little thin with some harsh cherry. Very drinkable though but not round. Earthy flavors. Bit of cinnamon stick. Black cherry on the nose and a smidge on the palate. — 7 years ago
