Grown on the north foothills of the Atlas Mtns at 450m.

@Tom Casagrande, I always LOVE when you resort to posting “petty” tasting notes, since otherwise I’m always intimidated by your massively detailed, and outstanding, tasting notes (which I prefer, but not trying to be “petty” here)!! 🤷🤷

Penfolds

Bin 389 South Australia Cabernet Shiraz 2002

See many previous notes. Holding up comfortably from this excellent cooler vintage . 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 46% Shiraz. I am lucky to have 6 bottles left from back in the day when I bought 2 dozen. Definitely drinking on the plateau and will carry on for a while yet. Medium weight palate but with great length and persistence. Will probably consume the rest over the next 3 to 4 years. Penfolds 2020 collection (17 wines)just released in Australia. The 2018 Bin 389 received 96 points from Halliday. The 2016 Grange is being talked about as one of the greats - 99 points from Halliday. — 6 years ago

This used to be a stable for me, Bob. I prefer the 407, 707 and RWT. But, I agree, this is good blend from Penfolds.

Rhône Valley Vineyards

La Ferme Julien Côtes du Ventoux Red Rhone Blend

So this rating is attached to a rating for a Rose Blend. We did not have that wine. Ours was a red, and I believe it was a blend because there was no other description of what kind it was.
We got this at Trader Joe’s and it was a French wine. It was very smooth and drinkable and balanced, yet dry. Tannins were not overpowering.

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Mid to deep Ruby in colour. Some maturity in evidence on the rim. Cedar/cigar box aromas with black currant and cassis - classic Pauillac descriptors Only medium bodied - lacked some intensity for the vintage. Restrained - 20 years might be its limit. It will sit on the plateau but won’t improve. In summary a lovely old claret and has been better than its 5th Growth status for decades. “Lunch Bags” as old poms used to refer to it as. — 6 years ago

I’m still making my way through my 85 and 86 LBs, then will check in on 82s 89s and 90s. Have recently had a 61 that had a lot of energy and complexity in it. I will not touch the 00s for at least another 10 years... maybe it’s preference but based on my experience I disagree with the assessment that the 00s will not improve in the next 25 years. They are still babies!

@Mike Saviage Thanks for your insights. Based on my (pleasurable) experience I am inclined to agree with Jancis’s drinking window of 2010 to 2024 although I see James Molesworth takes it thru to 2033 and Parker 2031 to 2036. Will be interested to read other tasting notes on this wine in years to come.
