Arbois Pupillin Savagnin 2015
Adding a rating to this doesn’t seem fair because my frame of reference is non-existent. I fully expected this to be dominated by “natty” vibes, but boy was I wrong. If this was poured in a black glass, I don’t think anyone calls this correct (and most probably call it the opposite color). A distinct fruit cocktail/punch aromatic with CruBojo-adjacent profile on the palate. It bulked up over the course of the evening and retained great acidity. About as culty as it gets from the Jura, and something that needs to be experienced to broaden knowledge of this hobby/passion we all love called wine.
Château Lynch-Bages
Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990
The ‘91 holds a special place in my heart in relation to my Mom’s passing @vinokeeno i did a long post on it here back in ‘17 or so….I’d love to drink it there with you
@Bill Bender I would too but that’s how rumo(u)rs start…

Château Lynch-Bages
Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2005
Stellar notes as always @vinokeeno thank you f for always kicking ass at what you do
@Bill Bender Thank you again for the generous tastes of, as always, stellar juice. Always a pleasure to visit with you and yours!
Château Margaux
Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
Bill had this a month ago
@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego @Shay A Possibly my all time favourite Bordeaux. Had a bottle about 6 years ago.
I see a bottle available locally, think I’ll head down this week to grab it.
It. Did. Not. Suck.
Billecart-Salmon
Cuvée Louis Salmon Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2008
Phenomenal suggestion @vinokeeno
Excellent selection
@Bill Bender This was much more demonstrative than the 2012 Salon which is all about finesse. Totally different BDB styles (and vintages) and the Salon is fab but there is no way it is or will be 3x as good as the disparity in pricing dictates.
Château Rayas
Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2005
Bill had this a month ago
Effing banging. Thank you @Bill Bender !!
My first Rayas! So grateful to @Bill Bender for the experience (as well as the other wines) to finally check this off the list. I’d say that between the five wines of the evening, this and the ‘06 Krug CdM evolved the most. This is the most powerful and aromatic CdP I’ve ever had. The red/black cran-raspberry profile was like a missle on the palate…so youthful, even tangy the beginning. A lot of CdPs have this dirty/figgy profile but this was so clean and pure. Verve for days. Probably still rocking in another 5+ before evolving to the next stage. Epic.
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville
Fremiet Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018
Saw from Bill y’all enjoyed some nice burgs!
@Shay A Didn’t get a pic of it but the 2010 Domaine Laurent Bonnes Mares was alluring. Took a spell to open up but when it did-wow.
