I am a "free agent" of wine. I am always willing to try new things, both in wine and in life.

Double decanted and followed over 2 hours. This was incredible it kept evolving in the glass from Musigny-like smoke and red berries to the more “authentic” right bank Bordeaux chocolate and violets. Super long finish. 96-97.

2016 Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion

2016 Les Carmes Haut-Brion. Second glass coravined for my wife and I over burgers at home (first glasses were 30 days ago). Deep red fruit and crunchy soil. Very high toned green stem and whole cluster nose, nothing like a Bordeaux, again, like the winemaker’s Rhone roots. Next glass in another 30 days…94/100

2022 Suertes del Marqués Valle de la Orotava Vidonia V.P.
5/5/2024 - Lord of the Bottles Likes this wine: 93 Points
This took a good hour to open up, and then some, even after double decanting. Floral and hint of matchstick nose. Kiwi and mineral palate. Slight burnt notes. Drinks like a young top Chablis without the oyster shell notes. Very impressive but young next bottle later this year. 93+
