2014 Château Rauzan-Ségla
5/13/2024 - acidqueen wrote: 92 Points
Bright, fresh cassis and cherry fruit. Fine acids and medium tannins. Very polished but not simple. Easy to drink now but will improve for at least 5 years.
As noted later, I decanted the wine for an hour before drinking, and it needed it. This wine is not a light-weight, but it is quite approachable now with the decant.
Also, we drank this with a rare ribeye steak, and it held up very well as you would expect. The wine would have overwhelmed something lighter at this point in its evolution.

2013 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis

Dark gold color as my last bottles, but not at all old. Very reduced. Needs some air before drinking. Not typical, perhaps, but still clearly Chablis. Stony, quinine, some white jasmine after time.

2013 Arnot-Roberts Pinot Noir Trout Gulch Vineyard

Eleven years later this is in a very good place. Still great acidity but not painful, fresh red berry fruit with cranberry and red currant flavors. Some earthy, winey, syrupy backdrop which provides more complexity. Right now, I would hold my last bottle for a few years longer in the expectation of improvement. Quite impressive.
