Atherton Wine Imports 2026 tasting at République, Los Angeles. 2022 vintage. Medium-medium heavy body. This was like a home-cooked holiday dinner. What to load the plate up with first? So much good stuff. Tons of fruit and tannins and already showing great balance even though it just started walking. Resto cost? That’s the best part. $38 a btl. Sign me up. 3.18.26. — a month ago

Has aged remarkably well Probably because of the year. Drunk April 10, 2026. A great indicator for the aging of wine. Pomerol and this winery. — 9 days ago
One of the most lush, harmonious wines I’ve ever had. It was stored and prepped perfectly by Brett Taylor. Absolutely mind blowing wine — a month ago

1990 vintage. Low neck fill. Opened with a Durand but not decanted. Cork 45% saturated but in good shape. Both darker color and slightly less sediment than expected. Secondary and tertiary nose but (still!!??) some primary and ripe cherry and plum flavors in the front and mid-palates. Consistent palate push without any potholes, gaps or regrets. Phenomenal tobacco and fudge notes in the caboose. Based on this baddy, can hold steady for another 5-6 years before a scoring recalibration. Not the biggest Pomerol fan but this didn’t suck. 3.20.26 — a month ago

2017 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Brusque as fusque. Serious bruiser. About as much nuance, currently, as a car alarm at 3:47am outside your window. Fruit about as dark as you can get. Should be doxxed and serve out a mandatory 10-12 year sentence before sampling again. Even then, probably too soon. Recidivism is thy name. Total bad boy. Good luck with this one. You'll need it. 3.25.26. — 25 days ago
