Diana Madeline Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Saturday night (2 January 2021) paired with sous vide roast beef. More red fruits than black. Fine tannins and good acid backbone. Delicious. Could last for many more years. Rose could not place it. Not surprising really as not a typical Margaret River heavy hitter. — 5 years ago

L'Original Côtes du Roussillon White Blend 2017

Unsure of the exact blend here, either Macabeu/Syrah or Macabeu/Muscat, either or, delicious.

Cloudy golden straw color. Ripe pineapple, overripe pear and white flowers on the nose. Honey, apricot, cinnamon (light), medium acidity on the palate.

Biodynamic and spontaneously fermented. Paired this along halibut cooked in sous vide then quickly pan finished with a touch of butter on the stove, a decent combination. I think this wine would shine with something fatty, like foie gras or a good hard cheese.

Vide Bourse Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Pale colour, hints of green.
This seems still quite young, fresh and very energetic. Lemon, green apple, white peach and chamomille, dusted with some spice and minerality. Terrific!

Château La Croix St. Georges

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

What a delicious and lovely nose this wine head. Silky smooth Merlot all of the way. Decanted and left it open for about 30 minutes and I’m not even sure it needed that. Firm with delicate flavors and just enough tannins for structure. Red and blue fruits with lavender and Rosemary notes. Drank this with short ribs that had been cooked sous vide for 24 hours with a red wine, hatch chili powder, salt, pepper, and onion marinade. Included with cream and garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed green beans. Lovely lovely wine. — 6 years ago

Château Moulin Riche

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Nose has leather, earthy strawberry, prune, cranberry and light cedar.
Palate has cherry-strawberry juice, tobacco, ripe plum, sweet flowers; soft tannins, so approachable! Drink up in the next few years, I do not believe this wine is for longer term aging, plus it's in a prime enjoyment window now!

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot & 10% Petit Verdot

We paired this with a beautiful sirlion, cooked in the sous vide bath then finished on the stove, accompanied by roasted beets with local goat chevre. The earthiness of the beets is always a wonderful pair to Bordeaux, IMO.

Carneros Pinot Noir 1994

Holey Shinoley Batbrain another amazing save! figured I'd be dumping this one along with its brethren on the shelf into my fine wine vinegar barrel but instead someone slipped in at some point and replaced the contents with a fine premier cru burgundy . . Reminiscent of a Mid90s Charles Dugat Gevrey Clos St Jacques . . and is drinking like an a-point seven year old instead of it's 26 current years of age . . slight and bring out the rim; solid plum and some Asian spice notes, evolved secondary and some tertiary notes, tinge of barnyard that helps a pair with the 36 hours sous vide braised then flash fried elk tongue I am pairing it with . .  perfect balance of fruit and acidity, long long long lingering finish -- what a fabulous surprise . . I would've been delighted had it been that vinetard designated premier crew burgundy at a couple hundred bucks, but to open some thing like this for probably eight dollars and change when I bought it makes the smile slightly broader. Happy I have more 😁🍷 — 5 years ago
