Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

Big and bold Pinot! Deep purple/garnet color. Aromas of cooked black berry/raspberry, purple flowers, black licorice and pepper spice. More black cherry and blueberry fruit on the palate with notes of dark chocolate, baking spices and maple. Quite rich, concentrated and viscous. Velvety tannins and moderately low acidity. Big Pinot! — 17 days ago

Sea Smoke

Southing Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir

Prefer 10 but this delivery was sooner. Still love. Rather drink this and have frozen pizza than go out and have marked up wine. Beautiful Pinot noir. Soft cherry flowers. Not tart. Enjoyed. — 10 hours ago

Freakshow The Strongest Man on Earth Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon

Color of dark purple, thick with nice legs. Nose of coffee beans, cigar box, dark fruits like blackberries, and some ripe grapes. Taste follows the nose with addition of nice acidity, oak note, and spicy sweetness. Some marginal tannins and warmth to balance the flavors too. Aftertaste shows some more strawberry note and more savory acidity. On par. — 15 days ago

A blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot and Syrah. Deep Ruby with aromas of black and red fruits and floral spice aromas. On the palate black cherry and blackberry flavors with licorice, espresso and sweet oak spice. Smooth and refined tannins, long ending with fruit and sweet earthy tones.

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

1990 vintage. Last tasted 01.20.23 (9.6) and 05.16.21 (9.4). This slots in just between. Tastes as if from a colder cellar because this specimen was as fresh (too fresh) as a daisy. Decanted and tasted after 2 hours. Tannins for tannins sake. And I love big tannins. Less evolved than the January visit and drinking better than the 5.16.21 visit. Still bleeping massive as it ever was upon release back in the day. Very little has changed. This wine and the 1989 Gaja Sorí Tilden Barbaresco the two biggest, uncompliant wines with years to go before really revealing those hidden charms that I've tasted in recent memory. Getting closer but not quite ready to settle down any time soon. Out of a larger format bottle, must be positively overwhelming…like jumping to hyperspace accidentally…or on a boozy dare. 9.21.23. — 9 days ago
