Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1984

The final wine at the First Growth Bordeaux Lunch at the Downs Club last Saturday…. and what a great way to finish a wonderful lineup. I recall Apricot and Pear on a palate of profound intensity which delivers on the powerful nose. An obviously sweet palate with enough racy acid to keep things interesting and fresh. Will last until the late 2030s at least. Terrific! — 24 days ago

Billecart-Salmon

Brut Rosé Champagne Chardonnay Blend

It’s everything you want from good champagne. Rich, unctuous texture with notes of brioche toast, vanilla, pineapple, pear, flint. While it’s big and rich, it still has enough minerality and acidity to keep it extremely drinkable. Fantastic. — 3 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

Broken sticks, dried black currant, woody mushroom showing tiny flecks of dried blueberry, but also a rich ripe blue streak in deep background, elevates from forest floor to treetop mulberry. Tobacco sweetness and mint scintillate with mocha softly blanketing. Cocoa and cedar emerge first on the palate; with cherry and currant in tow, tart raspberry, eucalyptus and leather. Just enough pepper to keep it firmly grounded.

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2012

One of our absolute favorites. Light and living and just effervescent with lemon curd and clean starfruit and just enough acid to keep the structure together. Incredibly delicate and a well done balancing act to get these flavors to exist with just enough yeast to reflect the lees. Absolutely delightful.  — 8 months ago

Vintage Port Blend 1970

Better 3 years ago when we had it last - but still wonderful. Now it’s slightly sweeter and less acid to keep it all together. But the fruit and depth is very much there. Haunting finish, still. — 3 years ago

Same as previous notes. One of my favs! So underrated, under-appreciated, and under priced. Let’s keep it that way! — 6 months ago

Superb if served at the right temperature, but as the wine warms up, the alcohol content (14.5% ABV) shows up. Keep at the right temperature in order to enjoy it. — 3 years ago

David Girard Vineyard Counoise 2023

First time with this grape and this vintner. Color is super light. Very clean and crisp. At first sip, thought we were missing something but enjoyed it more had more throughout the evening - enough that we’d buy again at $30 and look forward to trying more from Keep. Very fun and interesting — 4 years ago
