Château Gazin Rocquencourt

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2015. Not sure if wines are still produced under this label, as Gazin Rocquencourt has been integrated into Malartic Lagravière. In any case this 2015 red Pessac-Léognan is a sleeper of the excellent vintage that offers amazing value for money! Highly recommended. — 2 months ago

Vinoterra

Kakheti Saperavi 2014

This benefited from age and is in a great place. A tiny bit of oxidation, soft acidity, integrated tannins. A real winner and a sleeper surprise. — 3 years ago

Quill Wines

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Leather - soft notes of dark cherry and mineral notes you would have expected from Howell Mountain fruit. This wine has aged beautifully and is a sleeper on the wine list! — 5 years ago

@Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher i like playing the mystery meat game with Garagiste but there are certainly risks! I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

The sleeper vintage, one at this time I bet to be even more showy than the illustrious 2000. It’s simply just ready to go after a short decant wafting from the glass with layers of cassis, black truffle, violets and licorice. This is a wine of texture and elegance, as Margaux should be—It’s liquid cashmere in the mouth with melting tannins and a black truffle and mineral inflicted finale that keeps on going. Superb showing tonight, with still a long life ahead. — 10 months ago

Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard

Sous Frétille Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Chardonnay 2020

Lyle Fass
9.5

Some of the best sleeper white Burgs are from Pernand and this is my favorite. Have had every vintage since 11. Gorgeous nose. Lemon drop, discreet and sweet wood. Really air, also feral and mineral. Caramel nougat but more in a terroir baby corton charlie sense than a barrel sense. Palate is bracing, fresh and so complete with minerals to burn, sweet wood, green apple and pear and all so refined. Excellent. Wow. With air this is a 9.5. The finesse now is here. — 4 years ago

Château Charmail

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Delectable Wine
9.0

A sleeper of the vintage, the 2015 Charmail has turned out beautifully. The interplay of intense dark fruit and savory notes yields an expressive Haut-Médoc of character and distinction. Best of all, the 2015 is a superb value. The blend is 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018) — 8 years ago

Sandhi Wines

Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2014

Blind tasted. Nose is very tight; star fruit, green apple, hints of poolside vapors. First sip is intense, acidic and tight as well, a few chews revealing structure and contained complexity. A nice buttery and ripe fruit retro really shows the quality of the wine, in conclusion. Very hard to describe - a thinker - that's for sure. Still very young - a sleeper - that's no doubt, pleasure was partly intellectual. I'd recommend to carafe for half a day or to taste the bottle over a few days. Taste around 14 degrees. Impressive !@Rajat Parr — 8 years ago

Sauvignon Blanc 2020

9.1

The can is convenient but still best served in a glass. I don’t even usually like Sauvignon blanc but this was pretty good. Straw yellow color, gooseberries, bitter almond, slight savory and saline finish. — 4 years ago

Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

Sleeper. Dark. Backwards. A little rough on the attack right now. Finish goes on for days. Stewed currents, olives, cloves, coffee, underbrush...have a feeing this will evolve to a much higher score — 6 years ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

Nutmeg and christmas spices over raspberry preserves on the nose. Soft and youthful on the mouthfeel, with bright cherry fruits. Graceful finish with chalky tannins and well balanced acidity. Drink or hold for a couple. Private label offering from lastbottle.com - nice work! — 8 years ago
