2000 vintage well cellared from my personal collection was actually very good. Deep purple color, smooth and very drinkable. Strong on the palate initially but zero aftertaste. Cherries and plum tastes. Wonderful finishing — a year ago

A great Late Harvest SB from Denis Malbec.
Like so many other LH/botrytis whites from CA I think this will age tremendously well and will be interested in following this over the next 2 decades. — 8 years ago

Violets and cassis on the nose. Smooth tannins. Solid PV, but needs lots of time to open up. — 9 years ago

I don’t drink Northern Rhône enough, but this terrific single vineyard Syrah crafted by the late, long-time Latour cellar master Denis Malbec is for sure nothing like new world Syrah.
The nose was filled with fresh dark cherry and raspberry, and turned to parades of cedar, fresh herbs, vanilla, dried mushroom, and light smoked hays. Slight hint of dried rose petals too. On the palate it had a richer feel than the nose would indicate. Dark spices and earthy minerals with sharp acidity. Polished tannins. — 4 years ago

This is a charming Fronsac wine - 100% Merlot and already showing mature tannins and lovely balance. Leather, blueberry, mocha, black cherry. Medium body, medium finish — 5 years ago

2011 Vintage- ok, I was super suspect of a 2011 Rosé, but good lord this is delicious! Tasted blind I would’ve called Oregon Pinot, no lie! Still has super bright acidity and desiccated fruit and dying flowers. I am a super fan — 6 years ago
