Peter Michael Winery
Au Paradis Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Medium body. Leaning heavily towards a feminine-styled Cabernet and has dropped nearly all of the braggadocio of youth. As mentioned with another reviewer @Jay Kline not even close to being as exciting as the producer’s Les Pavots bottling and fairly one-dimensional. More than a bit disappointing given the initial acclaim. 05.29.25. — 7 days ago
Sine Qua Non
Touché Eleven Confessions Vineyard Estate Syrah 2012
2012 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 1.25 hours open. Heavy body. Always too soon/early with these wines, whether white or red. Likely shouldn't be approached or flirted with for another 15 years to properly evaluate. Some chunky bite but mostly über-smooth bark. From what I'm told, they own the copyright for the stunning bottle shape style. 05.30.25. — 5 days ago
Edmond Cornu & Fils
Le Bois Roussot Ladoix 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019
2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 5 minutes. Medium-medium heavy body. Fairly fleshy. Big primary fruit with little nuance evident currently. Would probably be happier with this in 5-8 years where the nuance would have crept in and the overt fruit pared down a bit. 05.28.25. — 8 days ago
Etienne Sauzet
Les Perrières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014
2014 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 2 hours at approx 62 degrees. Medium-medium heavy body. Plenty of honey/mead texture and flavors along with golden, slightly overripe apple + a little finishing spice flourish. Decent acidity at that temp and wanted to chill some down to the mid-50's to reevaluate but ran out of road. Better luck next time. 05.30.25. — 6 days ago
Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
2019 vintage. Resto cost $40.10 a bottle on two 6packs. Woof. Drinking great now but could use 6 months-2 years to really decorate the place. 06.04.25. — 20 hours ago
