Old reliable does it again after a terrible day. Ripe and juicy with wonderful energy and black fruits. Too lazy for more notes. I’m drinking tonight! — 3 years ago

Buchegger

Terrassen Pinot Noir Rosé Blend 2018

This is rather fabulous. Minerals. Pink grapefruit. Very refreshing and zippy. It makes me feel like I shattered a geode in my mouth but like in a good way. Actually that sounds terrible just know this is all the dignified sparkle you could hope for. — 7 years ago

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Rob Greer has got to be the alchemist of oenology! He took a terrible vintage and has produced pure California gold. Finish goes on and on and on. I need to let it sit open for a while to open up. It might have to open up in my stomach! — 8 years ago

Love Rob but props really should go to either the amazing piece of land he owns or Aaron Pott who makes the wine😎

It's a Rockstar!!! I wonder who turned you on to that wine?

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2013

This was a very fun experiment. I bought this for 149€ due to the 2013 vintage being terrible. Would this be a waste of money or a bargin? It was a bargin. Classic high end Bordeaux nose with complexity and flavour. Lots of mint. Tailed off quite quickly but still so much to enjoy. The art of wine making should shine through on "off" years as all of the producers make excellent wines in a 09 or 10 vintage. Will definately buy more!

Great producers make great wines and often the most challenging vintages pull out their best

Domaine Saint Andrieu

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2021

Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it.

Rochioli

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2015

We had the 2015 Vintage On 7/7-8/19. A terrible Chardonnay that is full bodied with smooth finish. There tastes of tropical fruit, apricot and oak. There is a minerality that is characteristic of a Mersault. — 7 years ago

Les P'tits Bouts Cornas Syrah 2017

This is everything young Northern Rhône should be - savory but no lack of fruit; feral but not acerbic; meaty, rich and dense but light on its feet; tannic but not drying or underripe. Drinking beautifully at the moment. Not a trace of oak. If you don’t like this, we’re not gonna be friends and you are probably a terrible person. — 6 years ago

Château Potensac

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

9.2

Terrible pic, great wine. Structured, dense and chewy, with ample tannins that are perfectly ripe and help to prolong the flavor. Still young and burly, with a flavor profile that veers towards young and savory - coffee, bitter chocolate, iron, graphite. There's a beautiful core of sweet cherry underneath - high toned, almost sappy - needs time. Great winemaking - balance of sweet and savory, dry but not astringent, fresh and lively but serious as well. Old school styled and delicious. — 7 years ago
