Bad Henry
Château Lynch-Bages
Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016
Château Cos d'Estournel
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2009
Decanted and simmered for hours. By Hour 3+ this broadened into a deep and luxurious wine. Ripe fruit - currant blackberry. Nice mouthfeel with some mineral residue. Not a long tail on this but it did linger still. Not particularly fragrant. A bit inward overall but all the pieces good and bad kinda fit together and it was nonetheless quite enjoyable. — 9 months ago

Mauvais Garçon (Bad Boy) Red Bordeaux Blend 2016
An easy everyday Bordeaux as it’s affordable. Very fruit forward with spice but finish is lacking. — 4 years ago

Guarda Cabernet Franc 2020
Delicious smooth and persistent. A bit of acid on the tongue but earthy foundation. Great with meat or lighter food that needs depth. — 7 months ago
Château Pontet-Canet

Not bad but would have been better a few years ago, wish I had the 2000! — 3 years ago
Henry Mckenna
Aged 10 Years Bottled-In-Bond Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Reviews go so far to say its the years best. I’m not there as I find it a bit hot w/o some of the depth of flavor and mouth feel. — 5 years ago

Dom Pérignon
Brut Champagne Blend 2013
Some specials on today at the Chelsea lounge at JFK. Thought I’d ask and look what we got. It doesn’t have as much of the typical Dom taste for me and it is still very very young, definitely still a baby. Great nose and packs a lot of citrusy flavors - they will certainly mellow over the years. Not a bad rendition, not quite hitting the super high marks with me right now, but very pleasant early p.m. bubbly on this holiday — 9 months ago

Okay. Again the same dilemma. If a wine does not meet expectation is it basically bad (for me)? 🤔 because in life everything is relative, right? Any thoughts on puzzling matter??The wine was well balanced, dark red fruit flavors, polished, smooth tannins, good intensity and concentration, but limited length and lacking any meaningful complexity… Eight year old left bank Bordeaux. A fourth or fifth growth winery, maybe not, can’t remember for sure. Do remember what I paid though, $120. Definitely too much for what we experienced this evening…. as to our expectations. — 2 months ago
