Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

9.5

An excellent wine. Bought direct on release, got 100 pts from someone. Its not 100 but memorable. — 2 days ago

Baron Philippe de Rothschild

Mouton Rothschild For Philippine Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

9.7

Initially thought this might be corked, took 30min for the funkiness to blow off. Nose was neutral after half hr and exploded with black fruit and forrest floor after an hr. Needed 2+ hr decant and didn’t disappoint. Rich with subtle power. Peaking now-to next few yrs. — 5 months ago

Château Giscours

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

9.1

Love the ‘09 Bordeaux. But the difference in good and great is as wide as the Garonne river. — 9 months ago

Hyde De Villaine

Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

9.3

Tight-nit chard, very well made. One of the more age worthy Napa whites, ton of freshness and acidity. — 5 months ago
