Third Wife

Louis Roederer

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2015

We had this a few days ago and I misplaced my notes. Citrus mineral and intensity I recall. Probably committing infanticide drinking this now but there were good reasons to. Firstly our son and wife plus our daughter home for Christmas from New York and secondly my retirement after 53 years at McDonald Group. — a month ago

These are really good. After the last 3-years, I gave up my allocation to a buddy. At $330/bottle all in, it adds up quickly.

Château Latour

Le Pauillac de Chateau Latour Red Bordeaux Blend

Great third label of latour without breaking the bank. Purplish red, black fruits , plum, capsicum, pepper.. medium to heavy bodied, but generally balanced with tannins not as well integrated. still a little too young.. will be more ready closer to 2030 — 9 months ago

Wife wanted date night. Pulled this. Not great, very good. Needed a short time to open up. — 2 years ago

Krug

Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne Blend

Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.

My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him!

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

One of my favorites! Opened one at home to celebrate the new job and love it. Definitely best out of the cellar but second and third glass were still better than my usual. — 7 months ago

Château Margaux

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

I had the pleasure par taking in this 2014 Margaux du Chateau Margaux. This is the third lable from Chateau Margaux a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 49% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot.

On the nose were beautiful perfume notes, black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, spice, cassis, light herbaceous note, lilacs and earth.

On the palate there is black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, light oak, spice, cassis, graphite and earth.

This wine is medium bodied with a smooth velvety mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy tannins that leaves you with a long dark fruit graphite finish. The week looks great ahead maintaining a level mind and cool head. Stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Château d'Issan

Margaux Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot Blend 2014

Nice and balanced Margaux. Third growth grand cru, but somewhat falling flat compared to all the huge 15 vintages. Still a beautiful pairing with our filet mignons at Picasso. — 4 years ago
