Domaine de Bila-Haut L'Esquerda R.I. Rectificando Invenies Côtes du Roussillon Villages Syrah 2015

Stunningly extracted, concentrated and rich red that led with a velvety assault of undergrowth and wet earthy cat fur, and was followed by a big, round and brambly attack of blackberry jam, asian spices. Dark mineral tones. You gotta give this baby points just for the name, right out of Harry Potter, but as good as it was, not quite the 98 it advertised from Parker. I think this has years to go but the Syrah tannins, skin I sensed more, make me uncertain this is a super long hauler. I’d try a bottle now with food you’d pair a great young Shiraz to and give it a 3 hr decant. — 3 years ago

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2010

It’s been two weeks since any activity on my end 🤷🏻‍♀️ I promise I’ve been drinking well! A thank you to @Antonio Galloni for letting @Samantha Potter and I join a mid-tasting lunch with a glass of this wonderful wine. I sadly didn’t take notes but I do remember it went down like silk, really delicious. — 6 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

Vanilla laden lilac candy. A nice little nose.

An eloquent wine, with a lovely rounded mouthfeel.
Darker fruits fruit leather, a sprig of mint, a hint of currant, subtle is the fruit. Neither overpowering or underwhelming, this sits in a harmony I have not had in a while. Solid vintage. Solid wine. Gotta stop raiding the cellar..
And when I say cellar, let me clarify: it’s more where Harry Potter slept..

Dove Hunt Dog Potter Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Won this wine in a wine pull! Went really went with Greek marinated grilled chicken, grilled lemons, wild rice and cucumber salad. Balanced, lemony, lemon grass, not fizzy, touch of pepper and herbs- foods with lemon or herbs and this is a good choice!! — 3 years ago

Clos de Malte Santenay Chardonnay 2011

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our conductors are David Newman and John Williams are leading a diverse program of cinematic works composed by John Williams entitled "Across The Stars: Music Of John Williams". We'll enjoy pieces from Star Wars (various episodes), Harry Potter, E.T., Memoirs of a Geisha and many others. All works to feature the violin virtuoso, Anne-Sophie Mutter, a personal favorite soloist of ours on these hallowed grounds. Mr. Williams has rearranged many of the selections today to better feature Ms. Mutter, an exciting afternoon will lay ahead. 🎼🎻

A nicely aging monopole Chardonnay, loving the lightly oxidized yellow fruits.

Nose has oxidized, yellow apple skin peel, papaya and medium oak more notable today than prior bottles, albeit not distracting but embracing.

Palate has creamy, tropical fruits, over-ripe lemon and light minerality.

Just an exceptional bottle, likely the best of all the 'Clos de Malte' 2011's we've enjoyed to date.

Here in LA there are usually a few John Williams conducted Hollywood Bowl performances each summer—I haven’t been in years but you’re reminding me I need to go! So many light sabers, so little time...
