Traditional Rioja Style Tempranillo. Ruby red color with an orange rim. Ripe red fruit aromas and flavors with notes of rose petals, spices and vanilla. Long finish. Elegant. Thank You Ron B! — 6 years ago

Drank it while I smoked a cigar (Gran Habano Blue in Green) on a patio in the Old Town, Panama City and it was delicious — 7 years ago

8.9

Black fruit with a touch of Marmelade. Some spice and a whiff of roast. On the palate fruity, with juicy acidity and fine tannins. Highly drinkable.
Develops nicely in the glass. — 8 years ago

I agree with notes from @Ron R The bouquet just explodes out of the glass. On the palate, this is clean, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Just a wonderful chardonnay. — 5 years ago

@TheSkip, I sent you a few bottles years ago. Did you throw em out!??

Proudly sitting at the very top of the wine rack downstairs. I think of it daily! Too nervous to open 😁 I will soon. I truly appreciate it.

Le Dauphin de Guiraud

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Ray Vanderhoff

9.0

This is a second label Sauternes. Deep straw color. 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Intense nose that features raisins, pear, vanilla and a bit of citrus. Just a bit of a floral note. Dense ripe fruit and honey flavors. Hint of oak. Mouth coating texture. Nice way to end the day. Thank You for sharing Ron B! — 4 years ago

Thanks to @Ron R I was able to try an older vintage, still needed a 2nd day & 3 hour decant to open up. I think the low scores from others is because they didn’t give it enough air.
Thanks Ron! — 6 years ago

Bravo @Paul T- Huntington Beach. It’s a real pleasure getting to know you and your palate. Here’s to the 2K milestone 👍🏾

This wine does need some severe coaxing. Completely agree that day 2/3 gives you a better look 👀
