Zin, with some Petit Syrah, carignan, Barbera, and some else I can’t remember. Lots of Black cherry and some spice. No tannins or oak. Great burger wine for $15. — 2 months ago

Javernières Morgon Gamay 2020

I know these are built to age but after a number of nights of drinking wonderful older wines we wanted something a bit…fresher tonight. With a 3+ hour decant this definitely fit the bill. Very deep in the glass - almost purple. Quite burgundian but the crunchiness keeps this in Beaujolais. Excellent red fruit. Tannins are quite tight and teeth staining but the finish is lovely with great refreshing acid. Nice pairing with simple roast chicken thighs, and an excellent value <$30. Going to send some to storage. — 4 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Tasted blind, 3 very different wines but all 3 were excellent and showed their character well.
A nice Bordeaux nose, typical left bank, black currant, graphite, pencil shavings, cedar, and some caramel. Very rich and large palate, good power, tannins are enveloping and have barely started to show more suppleness, good length too. Delicious and number 2 or 3 depending on the taster. 92-93

Dégustation de 3 magnifiques vins différents en semi aveugle.
Un nez Bordelais, cèdre , cassis, graphite, mine de crayon, du caramel un peu. Une bouche puissante, riche et large, des tannins de texture enveloppante, finale est longue, c’est très bon et classé 2 ou 3 selon les dégustateurs. 92-93

Cela a dû être difficile de mettre un classement avec 3 bouteilles de haut niveau qui sont complètement différentes en terme de régions et de cépages.

Ce fut facile de trouver les vins mais effectivement difficile de les classer, sauf le Nuits Saint-Georges qui était en avant. Mais les 3 étaient excellents. Domaine de l’Arlot c’est toujours très bon et sous estimé.

OVR Old Vine Red Lot Number 73 California Red Blend

Color of deep purple, quite inky. Nose of ripe dark fruits like blackberries and cherry, some vanilla, some medicinal strawberry syrup, a bit mineral, a bit minty and grassy. Nose is average. Taste follows the nose with milky vanilla, a bit bittersweet and marginal tannins. 2nd sip shows some fruity notes, and strawberry stands out with some sweetness. Aftertaste shows some more bitterness and milky chocolate. Good milky feeling on the mouth, some more minty flavor, and easy to drink — 2 years ago

Carne Asada wine. Still nice pop of fresh blue/black fruits and just a bit of that prune/fig action. Solid little number in the low $20s.
