Future Perfect
Azienda Agricola Fontodi
Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2013
Close to perfect. Very fine tannins for a medium bodied wine. Lots of black fruit, tar and leather. Drinking beautifully now but will be a stunner 5 to 10 years from now. — 3 months ago
Château Cos d'Estournel
Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1995
Perfect. Cork was perfect. Color perfect. Elegant. Long. Beautiful. 30 years! Happy New Year! — 4 months ago
Dominus Estate
Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012
Château Ducru-Beaucaillou
Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1978
When 78 Ducru is on it’s an amazing example of aged Bordeaux but they’re incredibly inconsistent. This was a stunning bottle but two were corked before it. A perfect pairing with black truffle tagliatelle. — 3 months ago
Château Léoville-Las Cases
Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2014
Lots of promise, great on the nose, but the tannin clamps down hard right now. It has a bright future but isn’t there yet. — 4 months ago
Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
2001’s are so underrated. Perfect now and easily another 10+ years ahead — 2 months ago
Jean Foillard
Côte du Py Morgon Gamay
W64 200, Xmas day family wine 3L perfect in every way, what a cracker, silky berries, in the same level as say Gevrey Chambertan, without the expense. Just had a rethink, this now goes to my top rated wine. — 4 months ago
