No doubt about it opened too early, but I knew that ahead of time and this bottle wasn’t meant for the cellar. Not as good as the 2006 Altesino but no doubt would have been in another 5+ years. — 5 years ago

Les Pailleres Gigondas kicking ass as always. I hope the popularization of Gigondas as CDP prices go up does not kill Gigondas as a killer value. — 5 years ago

Very enjoyable drinking wine with a beautiful color. Strong yet well balanced acidity which tingles the palate on the finish and has a pleasant floral nose with refreshing apricots and white peaches on the palate. — 5 years ago

One of the many reasons I miss Howard’s store so much. No, it’s not a classified bordeaux but being able to pick up a nearly two decade old bordeaux for $45? Can’t do that at Binny’s. Fantastic experience if not the most complex but loved it from the first sip to the last. — 5 years ago

Started out a bit overbearing on the oak front, but did dissipate as the wine opened up. From there it took on tart cherry and cranberry notes. — 5 years ago

Napa is generally not my jam, but this wine played well. Absolutely has that big Napa character, but not over the top to the point where drinking it becomes a chore. — 5 years ago
