Slow Wines
Château Pontet-Canet
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2014
Lovely nose of slow cooked beef and heirloom pork, red and black roses, brown bread stuffing, fine tabak, vanilla-in-bread, dusty black cherry, dried black currant and espresso powder. Black olive rounds the palate in a textural wave that intensifies to charred grape gravy, very sharp forest berry, lavender, holly, pine nettle, and sage. Younger offering here but fully integrated and freshly offering dark bark and dark castings with lively fruit and floral punctuation.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)
Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2006
Slow oxed for two hours te wine is typically DRC. Automatically red fruit, Asian spice and sous bois with a good but not long or complex finish. — 3 years ago
Domaine Robert Chevillon
Les Perrières Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2002
Old school burg! Love this vintage. 02 Perrieres is showing beautifully tonight, red fruited, elegant and seductive, descriptors I wouldn’t say I typically associate with NSG. A lengthy slow ox has it wafting from the glass with dried raspberry, brown spices, game bird, forest leaves and a liquid rock minerality. The palate shows impressive power and concentration with melting tannins and a persistent mineral inflicted finish. At peak but should hold through 2029. — 6 months ago

Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2005
The 2005 Latour is a huge wine predestined for long-term aging. Noticeably deep in color, it has a showstopping bouquet with intense black fruit, graphite and touches of dried blood and tobacco as it considers moving into its secondary phase. But that's going to be slow coming...it's in no hurry. The palate is medium-bodied and unapologetically classic in style. I notice this bottle is a little grainy in texture, the salinity perhaps heightened as it enters adulthood. The finish has a tangible sense of tension, but it remains backward and swarthy. Immense. Tasted at Woo Cheong Tea House dinner organized by Paulo Pong. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2024)

Wittmann
Morstein Großes Gewächs Riesling 2014
Gave this 45 min slow ox to really open. On the nose: peach, soft ginger, limestone, orange, just so intensely aromatic. On the palate: fantastic acidity, good salinity, mulberry leaf, limestone, peach...wow, love that density paired with the zip. Another absolutely stunning showing. — 3 years ago

An outstanding bottle similar to the previous times I have had it. 3 hour slow ox and then decanted at dinner. Went brilliantly with white truffles! Had the Caprili with the veal and the body may have suited the veal but the Soldera was the WOTN — 7 days ago
