3/8/2024 - bacchus of knockholt wrote: 82 pointsTook this to a Bacchus blind tasting and was very disappointed. Well past its best. Brown, tawny colour with a tarry nose and dried fruit and some peppery notes. I expected a wine of this standing to still be drinking well. The Domaine de la Jannasse 1998 tasted alongside it was still drinking well. |

8/15/2023 - Michael Hung Likes this wine: 95 pointsBlind night. Right out the gate, amazing depth with ever so slightly reductive nose, but more so citrus peels and apple blossoms. Pronounced palette, slightly buttered roasted apples, salinity, lemon oil and peel, lean pear and slight citrus pithyness. Insane potential, this is precise and really delicious. I liked it a lot today, it will get better but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with opening it today. 95++

2/15/2022 - Margaux Bro Likes this wine: 95 points2007 tends to get no love, but I continue to enjoy the ones I've had. They're just now entering their drinking window and this LB was no exception. If you can get for a good price, this is a very good wine.

6/17/2022 - Margaux Bro wrote: 95 pointsDouble decanted 2 hours before going to a restaurant. Truly should have decanted about 2 hours earlier, as it really hit its stride later in the evening. This wine elevated tremendously once food was incorporated, and continued to develop. Very pleasurable wine. If you're opening now I'd suggest a very long decant. It will still age gracefully for another 20+ years.

1975 Château Léoville BartonSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/29/2022 - Sacramento Geezer Likes this wine: 92 pointsPurchased from Benchmark auction, my bottle was high shoulder with decrepit cork that pushed into the bottle largely intact as I opened three hours before dinner. Decanted with sieve then and didn’t taste until just before dining, though bouquet promised fine old wine. That first taste was delicious, poured two glasses and decanted again into crystal for table. Did not notice much evolution. In evening light, color appeared dark without noticeable browning. Tannins resolved, nice red fruit acidity, elegant, well balanced. A real treat. 20 years ago, Parker said this 1975 “fabulous” yet fully mature.

2012 Opus OneNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/18/2022 - Margaux Bro Likes this wine: 96 pointsEnjoyed side by side with 2012 Scarecrow. This was a much more refined and elegant wine with the scarecrow being a bit more of a bruiser with lots of french oak. The Opus had an odd funk to the nose that I had trouble placing, but juice itself was fantastic! Its drinking window is just getting started.

2016 Ultramarine Sparkling Rosé Heintz VineyardSonoma Coast Champagne Blend more |
4/12/2022 - Vino Me wrote: 93 pointsOpened by Blue Oval. A light pinkish orange color. 100% Pinot Noir from a single vineyard. This artisanal producer is basically the equivalent of a grower Champagne. Very bright and fresh with a fine persistent bead. Notes of strawberries , flint and roses. Clean finish. The best California sparkling wine I have ever had. 93+ points.

2/17/2022 - domco wrote: NRJust a little bit of a funky nose that blew off quickly. After that some red fruit, a little cinnamon-nutmeg thing going. In the mouth a bit darker fruit, a touch of spice, soft and round but enough acidity not to come across as flabby. Easy to drink and delicious. We'll wait on the next bottle a couple years to see where it goes but certainly no harm in drinking now.

2000 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée RéservéeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/24/2021 - Margaux Bro Likes this wine: 96 pointsBrought to a tasting menu dinner, and paired with duck and lamb courses. Stood upright for 3 days prior to serving, but this was still packed with sediment. Popped at the beginning of the meal and decided not to decant, because the first taste was impeccable. Let it slow ox in the bottle for about an hour before consuming with the food pairing. This bottle was in a truly perfect spot, and was a much lighter wine than I expected (not surprising given the 13.5% abv). Anyway, I highly recommend drinking now. I’m going to be on a mission to seek out additional bottles of this vintage.

8/2/2021 - Margaux Bro Likes this wine: 96 pointsLight, Delicate, still full of life. Very mellow, but in a nice spot with a touch of acidity and bing cherry that almost tastes burgundian. This bottle couldn't have been in better shape and more fulfilling. Probably the best diamond creek I've had.
