This wine needs time. Leave it alone. Compared to the Liaison not that closed. Classic E&M. Takes ca. 1h to open up. Out of wack. Needs a year or so. Black Forest herbs. Cranberries sour blackberries. High acid. Limes. Light. Needs to settle down. Very edgy right now. Hard to read. — 4 years ago

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Soo finally got to try this 97 pt Robert Parker Alexander valley cab. Put it in a flight to get perspective. Well, it's a damn good value. Super rich and it matched up pretty well with the TOR napa ca which is 2-3 times the price. The Alexander valley tastes like a Napa cab. The '13 Louis martini napa is tight and needs air. Can't wait to try the '14. People should skip the Louis sonoma and just find the Alexander for a good price. Huge disparity in quality. I rate the Alexander valley 92-93 pts. — 7 years ago

Helpful post. Good timing for the weekend shopping. Thanks.

Carl Fischer

Wow. Sounds amazing @Jason Oliver. Especially if it held up to a Tor! (and at 1/2 the cost!).

@Jonathan Wall @Carl Fischer if you can get it for under 30, it over delivers. Flavors are fantastic, although don't expect a ton of complexity.

8.9

Jantarova barva. 23 let stare. Plna zralost. Ve vuni rozinky, med, exot ovoce, ale velmi decentne. V chuti krasna kulatost, zralost, exoticke tony, medove podtony, nicmene svezi, kyselinka uzasna, trva. Malo perli, ale uzasne. Za me: nadchlo!
Degorge 2010. Ca 6-7g.

Tasting notes
The Carte d’Or cuvée is the very expression of the Drappier style. With its very high proportion of Pinot Noir, one is almost tasting a Blanc de Noirs. Champagne with a ne aromatic richness, it opens with aromas of stoned fruits such as white vineyard peach. A spicy hint announces a powerful and complex palate. A vinous Champagne of lovely complexity with a characteristic note of quince jelly. — 6 years ago
