Vasco's Mistress

Domaine Carneros (Taittinger)

Brut Rosé Blend

Just tasted new batch! Pompadour Brut Rosé celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (mistress of Louis XV) credited with introducing Champagne to the court. Blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chard, aromas of floral strawberry scents with yeasty notes on fine mousse and bubble flow. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry with vanilla yeasty tones. Well balanced, long ending in true brut style, dry with yeasty mineral character. A joy to drink. Tasting Sample! — 4 years ago

Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils

Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2010

A rich Gevry-Chambertin from Lucien Boillot. I've had a lot of Pierre's brother, Louis (married to a true Mistress of Wine, Ghislaine Barthod), but this is the first of my Lucien Boillot's made by Pierre. I think I like the quality and price:quality a bit more than the Louis Boillot (his prices have gone up since he left the Rosenthal stable). Fragrant, dark cherry, cranberry, earth, and some leather and mushroom on the nose and palate. Clean, deep red color. — 9 years ago

Ritual

Casablanca Valley Pinot Noir 2013

Our son brought this to dinner for our 35th anniversary at our favorite BYOB last weekend. The wine geek in me says "Chilean Pinot?" Really?
This is what I love about my wine mistress. I'll never master it and my expectations are often turned upside down. I can't believe how good this was. well balanced, with strawberry and cherry notes. A heavier mouthfeel which I liked. But this if you find it, you be pleasantly surprised. I was.

Well damn isn’t this drinking pretty??? August 2021 and I’m glad it’s ready when I am.

Some beautiful and sexy mistress perfumed funk. Dried spices and dried flowers. Nice earthy vibes too. Honestly, this one could go down as an all-time memory. Don’t tell my wife!

Dunn Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

@Robert Takahashi thanks to my brother in-law for bringing this gem!
He decanted overnight and we poured it today. Absolutely beautiful legs on this mistress. Thin and long! The nose is spectacular as well. Oak immediately grabs your attention. Blackberry, & licorice follows. The tannins are there and to be expected from such a young Dunn but they soon fade away as your thoughts lead the way to the next sip of enjoyment. Definitely a big boy!! Thank goodness I have my big boy pants on right now!!!! 😜👍🍷🍷👍😜

For those who read the posts and draw the wrong conclusion, I simply was clarifying. Personally, I don't understand 14-15 degrees of alcohol now. I liked the wine better at 12-12.5 degrees. I know growers claim climate change is the reason but that's only a small part of it. I think people have gravitated to the forced change and now enjoy it. Sad, sort of an addiction.

Château Monbrison

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

89 pts A wise man once said, Margaux is a beautiful mistress. True she is mystical, like a dream she is just out of reach and so alluring and this is insane value. A very good Margaux vintage.

Entering its window now, the nose is med and very alluring, earthy black fruit, cedar and wet tea bags, toffee whiffs, it needs focus and is pure pleasure to concentrate on every step.
The palate is dark fruit, pencil lead with more tea leaves, good complexity, excellent intensity and a finish which is broad, long and elegant integrated tannin.

Very much enjoyed.

Neptune The Mystic

Somewhere between shoe polish and prunes on the nose with a streak of smoky allspice and juniper. Sarsaparilla tar, roasted eggplant skin, oregano, burnt corn, cat bed, wet leather, black beans, burnt coffe and cigar ends. Coffee-rootbeer, black pepper, black mushroom, and eel. Sleek and nuanced, but a mistress of epic proportion. #dankdark #bellsbrewery #neptune — 10 years ago
