Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

1986 vintage. Sampled five bottles for a 1986 BDX tasting @ Mister A's in San Diego. Double decanted and tasted over four hours. Medium body. Pretty rustic early on and that stayed consistent till the end. Opened up a little later with a splash of bright cherry fruit. Should stay the course for another 5-6 years. 3.14.24 — 8 months ago

Château d'Yquem

Y Ygrec Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2005

Comparison between 05 and 18. 05 is crushing it. Such a beauty showing that an oak-influenced Sauvignon Blanc-Sémillon blend can be this good, rivals with those best whites in burgundy. If you buy newer vintages, please be patient. Wait till at least 10 years to open it! — 3 years ago

Spell Estate

Terra de Promissio Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016

Greg Ballington
9.0

Second stop in Sonoma with Andrew Berge of Spell Estate, La Pitchoune and Tiny House to name a few. First single vineyard Pinot Noir is the Terra de Promissio from the Petaluma Gap of the Sonoma Coast AVA. It is aged in 50% new French oak and only 49 cases produced.

Lush medium ruby red with a light purplish hue. Quite floral on the nose with some white pepper and strawberries. Medium acidity (6.5/10) with good tannins and a medium plus body. A bit of tobacco on the palate with some dark raspberries and gravel. Dry and medium plus finish. Drink till 2026. $$
