Pax Mahle Wines

Lauterbach Hill Russian River Valley Syrah 2004

Still seems pretty fresh, with dark fruit and some licorice. Held up well over several nights. As much as I enjoy the direction of the “new” Pax wines, it is always fun to go back and sample the originals - particularly when they hold up this well. — 8 years ago

This is the "Originals" Syrah on crack. More concentration, more of everything. I love this wine. It's probably slightly unbalanced, but I didn't care. It's exciting, energetic, has an obvious nod to Cote Rotie, but has it's own identity. — 10 years ago

Tasting from Heidelberg at the Taste of Dine Originals event.
Fantastic!
Clean. Fresh. I normally don't "do" pinot grigio, but I'd buy a case of this

really dry and flavorful, will hold up to the originals from Provence. — 5 years ago

Domaine des Bosquets

Le Lieu Dit... Gigondas Grenache 2010

So young...modern, shows extract and richness but I find it to be a great example of this style. Richly fruited, ripe, mouth-coating with its extract and sweet tannin. Underneath its Gigondas originals remain; soaked black cherry fruit, liquor, boysenberry compote, juniper, cinnamon, roasted rocks, meaty and sauvage undertones, truffle. I think this could go 20 years no problem. — 6 years ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Boca Nebbiolo Blend 2016

Adjacent profile wise to Northern Rhone: gamey, mineral & earthiness to it’s core; it’s the decaying rose petals, & hibiscus edges (& lighter shades) that point to its true, Nebbiolo soul. I’ve heard some wine folks mourn the loss of the original Valana, & that the younger family upstarts can’t come close to the originals. I don’t know, but for about 25$ this is is dang-it good Alpine red. — 3 years ago

Yeah the 60s and early 70s Vallana wines were in a class by themselves.

Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 1982

Definitely on the road to fully oxidized, but alive enough to still be a very enjoyable bottle to drink. Soft almost pillowy texture with lemon and caramel. Smell was a dead ringer for grandmas house and Werther's Originals. — 10 years ago

100 Year old Vintage Tawny Port

A rare treat and one of the wine worlds originals. 100 years in cask; green rimmed, unctuous and somehow both dry and sweet. Like drinking an old piece of furniture - 1916 — 10 years ago

I had the 1915 and it had the consistency of engine oil. Amazing concentration. Yours was no doubt the same Fraser.

Engine oil indeed @Bob McDonald I couldn't say they're refreshing but they are certainly fascinating!
