Pommard Pinot Noir 2015

“I see everyone is having a productive morning... Tip of the spear. Edge of the knife... Crack of my ass!" Well this sums it up. Quite stinky at first. Oxidized and pale. But give it 3 hours and this wine blows your socks off. Alas at its peak drink now. If you want to learn more read previous notes. This is one of the best Burghs out there. — 3 months ago

Château de la Gardine

Cuvée des Generations Gaston Philippe Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2009

Didn’t hold up especially well. Decanted for an hour and got rid of the sediment. Lacking in acid and depth, and the fruit is somewhat receded but without much to take its place. Still a fine wine but didn’t live up to expectations. — 2 months ago

@Pooneet K , a question for you — did this wine have “too much new oak” for a Chateauneuf-du-Pape?? I’ve had that experience with this property.

@Doug Powers probably. That has been more apparent on other bottles I’ve had from them, this one was more just tired.

Château Mouton Rothschild Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Wonderful deep and rich wine. This is in great shape. Dark plum and blakcurrant with iron and bloody intensity. Great tension and complexity. So fresh. This is great — a month ago

Trailside Vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Coming into its own. No bricking. Full, but a bit austere. Drank with Christmas Eve beef stew. — 2 months ago

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Fantastic bottling! I feel that Martha's Vineyard is a very under appreciated and under valued bottling from the Napa Valley. One of the oldest vineyard specific bottling in California behind Monte Bello and Eisele Vineyard. — 3 months ago
