Miracles

Château Feytit Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. Jérémy Chasseuil is working miracles here. Needs a bit of air, but after half an hour in the decanter it really started to shine. Intense perfume of raspberries, blueberries, violets, rosemary and a hint of truffles lurking in the background. Concentrated, with layers of red and black fruit and subtle spices. Velvety tannins and hardly noticeable oak. Very long too. Still very much under the radar, a great chance to buy a high end Pomerol for less than a 100 euro. — a year ago

Future For Miracles Viognier Syrah 2020

This is the 2020 which doesn’t have Viognier added. 100% Syrah. Needs time. Will wait a few more years to open my other bottle. — 5 years ago

Château Gros Moulin

Côtes de Bourg Malbec Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Another winner from this estate. Oak is still slightly dominant at first, but decanting does miracles as these wines are build to age. Stunning complexity and length for this price range. Definitely one of the finest values in the whole of Bordeaux!. — 5 years ago

Domaine Belle

Cuvée Louis Belle Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2014

Very nice structure acid that’s super subtle, sweet tarragon structured smell, super fresh pond in a moving water way smell too, easy with sort of a small cheeriness and tarragon at bottom, a sweet soft backend that sits and could work miracles with food that also sits — 8 years ago

Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2015

9.0

It tastes like a Barbera, only more sausage-y. It's so smokey, you'd expect The Miracles to pop up in your mouth. — 9 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1997

So impressive for what was considered to be a poor vintage. The winemaker has produced miracles. No visual signs of aging. Nose consists of ripe blackberries and raspberries. Palette is dominated with spice box and sweet red fruits. Acidity is pulsating and preserving the structure very well. Finishes with a long tail, and a deft amount of sweetness.

Bucket list - TICK.

And I could not have selected a better group of people to share it with. And, no, that was the last of my DRC. So happy we tasted it while it was at it's zenith.

Boudreaux Cellars

Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

This wine just received a 97 rating at RP and it is truly outstanding. So even in Washington State with its dreadful climate miracles are possible. — 2 years ago

Côtes du Jura Chardonnay Savagnin 2015

Youngish at sub 10 I suppose for a sav/chard under flor, but this is orgasmic. Worrying feeling ethat 2015 was a sub par year (cold? Wet?) And yet, here we are. Manzanilla salt lick at the end after a second or two is the party piece, apricots, smokey almonds, and all the usual Jura good things beneath. Was introduced to this by the sommelier in spanglais, with me deploying my most broken franglais. Miracles do happen. — 5 years ago

Memory failed me, 2015 a decent vintage for Ch and sav. Makes sense!

Mlecnik

Bukovica Vipavska Dolina Rebula 2004

Excellent example of European amber wine. Deep amber color from the Rebula grape variety, skin contact and oak work miracles for the taste and body. Aromas of honey, yellow apple, tobacco, persimmon, daffodils, cinnamon. Longish aftertaste with apples, tobacco and persimmon. Starts to lose its acidity, but still vibrant. Well-balanced wine with pleasant oily body. — 8 years ago

Azienda Agraria Lisini

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Stunning. One more year did miracles. First whiff was of a sewer, but after few hours, the wine really shined. — 9 years ago

Château de Sales

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

At 25 years I thought this might be over the hill. Initially mute and astringent. Time in the decanter did miracles. Nieces called it green olive, sweet fig, and cave (wet moldy grey cave)…. Nailed it! — a year ago

Familia Silva Branco

Douro Tinto 2018

2018 vintage. Douro red. Família Silva Branco. Aged 18 months in French oak. Dark red. A bit oak at first, but 5 minutes in the glass work miracles. Good fruit and spices, fresh acidity and well-tamed tannins. While the oak is integrated, I personally would like to see it toned down a bit. — 3 years ago

Innocent Bystander

Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2019

An old favourite but not quite as stellar as I remember it from the 2015 vintage. Still good though. Blueberry and boysenberry. Sandalwood, some subtle oak and a feeling of dusty candystore. Good acidity and a couple of years can probably work miracles. — 5 years ago

Noon Winery

Reserve Langhorne Creek Shiraz

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1962

Almost half a bottle of ullage,, gently aged in a cabinet under a sink in Rio de Janeiro, what to expect? Miracles do happen, as it was still alive and actually improved with some air! — 10 years ago
