Francois’ hometown, neighbor’s gift. Some wines stultify the pouring of a second glass, this does quite the opposite. — a month ago

Château Haut-Bailly

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Very interesting and complex wine. Nose is cherry, tobacco and bbq smoke. Texture and mouthfeel is absolutely lovely - so smooth. Cherry up front, with some cassis and black fruit following, tobacco, damp earth, smoky, red licorice, hint of mint?, lots going on here. Really quite nice. Medium plus finish. — 2 months ago

La Charge

Declassified Torraine pet nat sparkling with some serious, joyous game: Orange melon, white blossoms & carmelized notes on back end. Super airy & detailed on nose, persistent mousse. Wow. From old vines( more than 50yro): 80% Menu Pineau, 15% Chenin Blanc, 5% Sauvignon blanc. — 10 months ago

Alexis Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

#AgedWineTuesday

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, blackberries, blueberries, dried figs, raisins, light oak, licorice, light tobacco, light earth, chocolates, eucalyptus, light vegetables, herbs, wildflowers, cola and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, light cedar, tobacco, chocolates, cola, vanilla, licorice, spices, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This gorgeous 18 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now.

This is a great surprise, as the cork totally crumbled, and I expected the worst, but it really delivered.

Shows nice balance, and great complexity with a velvety mouthfeel.

Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. As it opens up, tannins come in (45 minutes), and make it more structured and interesting.

A great sipping wine to have all by itself and talk about. The nose is just gorgeous.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

$80.

What a great review…Marco Cappelli made that wine…happy to see it’s still alive and well. Don’t think they ever got the respect they earned.

La Louée Sancerre Pinot Noir 2019

It’s just so interesting. Why Los Angeles Enophiles don’t know about this is crazy. Delicious and a unique Pinot. Thank you to Capitaine Restaurant in the 4th Arrondissement for enlightening me. — 7 months ago
