| 2007 | Château Calon-Ségur (St. Estèphe) | |
Austere, rustic and lean, the medium-bodied wine is on the bright red, cranberry side of the style range with strong green accents. I suppose lovers of old-school classics will like this more than I did. 79 Views Tasted Aug 13, 2020 | ||
| 2006 | Château de Pez (St. Estèphe) | |
Fully mature, slightly firm, medium-bodied, earthy, spicy, bright, red berry, cedar and tobacco filled wine that is ready for drinking today. 88 Views Tasted Aug 13, 2020 | ||
| 2015 | Château Lamothe Guignard (Sauternes) | |
Fresh, clean candied lemon, orange rind, honey and floral notes permeate the nose and palate. Not very dense, instead it is focused on its medium-bodied, lighter, honeyed citrus profile. This will work well as a chilled aperitif or with spicy and savory foods. 8 Views Tasted Aug 13, 2020 | ||
| 2006 | Château Petit Bocq (St. Estèphe) | |
Fully mature, medium-bodied and rustic in nature, the wine is more interesting on the tobacco, spice, wet earth, smoke and bright red berry nose than on the austere, earthy, cedar filled palate. 1 Views Tasted Aug 13, 2020 | ||
| 2011 | Château Caronne Ste. Gemme (Haut-Médoc) | |
Lean, sharp, bright and with a strong green streak that accompanies its crisp red berries and tobacco leaf character. The wine is more interesting on the nose than the palate. 93 Views Tasted Aug 12, 2020 | ||
| 2005 | Château Patache d'Aux (Médoc) | |
Starting to drop its fruit and focus on its earthy, cedar and tobacco character, this medium-bodied, red berry filled wine requires drinking in the immediate future. 103 Views Tasted Aug 12, 2020 | ||
| 2019 | Château Haut Condissas Prestige (Médoc) | |
Peppery red fruits, espresso and licorice pop with no effort. Round, supple, forward and fresh, with an easy delivery this should be delicious on release. 88-90 Pts 73 Views Tasted Aug 12, 2020 | ||
| 2017 | Château Larose-Trintaudon (Haut-Médoc) | |

| 2005 | Château de Lamarque (Haut-Médoc) | |
Fully developed, with more secondary notes, wet earth, tobacco, olives, herbs, green pepper and cranberry than fruit remaining. Medium-bodied, bright, lean and with piquant red berries in the finish, there is no reason to hold this any longer. 92 Views Tasted Aug 12, 2020 | ||
| 2009 | Le Clos du Caillou Reserve le Clos du Caillou (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) | |
Forward for Clos du Caillou, the nose exudes flowers, spice and a cornucopia of red pit fruits, thyme and peppery raspberries. Rich, elegant and packed with fruit on the nose and palate, this is already quite nice to imbibe. 0 Views Tasted Aug 11, 2020 | ||
| 2008 | Château Belgrave (Haut-Médoc) | |
Firm, bright, lean, medium-bodied, crisp and herbal, this is better on the earthy, cranberry, cedar and tobacco nose than on the austere, cool, crunchy palate. 172 Views Tasted Aug 11, 2020 | ||
| 2011 | Domaine la Barroche Signature (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) | |
Slightly past full-maturity, the nose focuses on its garrigue, olive, leaf and spicy red berry side. Medium-bodied, bright, crisp and tart, there is an herbal edge to the fruit in the finish. My instincts say it's best to consume this over the next couple of years before the fruit continues fading. 105 Views Tasted Aug 11, 2020 | ||
| 2015 | Domaine Jean Deydier et Fils Les Clefs d'Or Les Craus Centenaires (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) | |

| 2015 | Goulée (Médoc) | |
This is showing really well today. The ripe black cherries, cocoa, licorice and smoke on the nose and palate coupled with round, soft, polished textures hits the spot. If you are seeking a forward, delicious wine for drinking over the near term, this is a nice choice and it sells for peanuts. 14 Views Tasted Aug 9, 2020 | ||

| 2011 | La Dame de Montrose (St. Estèphe) | |
This has morphed into a much better wine than anticipated. The wine has put on weight, gaining complexity and texture. Now, you find a fully ready-to-go claret with round, soft, cassis, cedar and tobacco notes. There is a gentle softness to the tannins and a fruity, earthy, round textured finish. 266 Views Tasted Aug 3, 2020 | ||
| 2013 | Domaine la Barroche Signature (Châteauneuf-du-Pape) | |

| 1985 | Château L'Evangile (Pomerol) | |
It took no time at all the love this wine. In fact, I was sold after just the initial sniff and sip. But the love affair did not end there as the wine improved in the glass. The silky, elegant, sensually textured plums, chocolate and truffle coated black cherries kept on coming, both on the nose and palate. But the best part of the experience was the velvety, plummy, earthy finish. This is at its peak. So if you have a few bottles that you have been waiting on, now is the time to pop that cork as this is not going to get better from here. As a guess, I'd opt for drinking it over the next 5-10 years at the most, before it begins its gentle decline. 312 Views Tasted Aug 3, 2020 | ||
| 1999 | Patrick & Christophe Bonnefond Les Rochains (Côte-Rôtie) | |
Once again, the last bottle from the case proved to be the best. Cote Rotie lovers lucky enough to have a bottle or two stashed away of this gem are lucky indeed. Smoky, fresh, spicy, earthy, stony and with ample, bright red fruits and soft tannins, this rich, lifted, focused wine is what Northern Rhone Syrah is all about. 254 Views Tasted Aug 3, 2020 | ||
