Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Need to order some more of this-pronto. Obviously too young but firing on nearly all cylinders at this point. The go-to BDX for those that want to drop coin on BDX but aren't familiar with BDX. For those of us that are familiar with the area/wines, this producer and vintage are delivering overtime. Voluptuous and sexy mixed with just enough down to earth(iness). Drinking phenomenally now. Too youthful to accurately speculate on the end game/potential of this vintage now. Much of the baby fat is gone yet there are a few strands left. Going back to the 1988 vintage, this is in my top three Cos offerings- like now, man... 4.29.23 — 2 years ago

For me it’s one if not the best domestic sparkling wines. Is it worth the coin? Debatable for sure. Loads of red berry fruit and balanced. — 9 months ago

@Ed Chin, do you buy direct from the winery? Personally, I think the winery price is spot on. What’s your comparator?

Ed Chin

@Ron i do purchase direct I’m not a big bubbles person though i do enjoy them more and more. If I do drink bubbles I have had had more success with champagne. I find good value with grower/producers or lesser producers. Bereche, De Sousa, Chartogne, Paul Bara, Egly Ouriet are few.

9.4

2018 vintage. 100% syrah. Willow Creek District. Paderewski Vineyard. Heavy body. Multi-faceted nose. Price has crept up substantially so it is no longer a QPR/bang for the buck darling but is still rocking at full volume. Sometimes, you gotta drop the coin for the concert. 5.29.24. — 6 months ago

Patou Cornas Syrah 2016

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

9.2

2016 vintage. Soft and indistinctive nose and flavors upon opening and stayed that way for the better part of two hours. Then started to gain substantial weight/heft, and spice complexities on the finish. Opened this waay too early but it lost a coin flip to the 2019 Alain Voge VV Cornas. Picked up a dirty, copper penny note + iodine along the way. 2.26.23. — 2 years ago
