Pétrus
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1976
Petrus is so unique. Even this 1976 is one of most aromatically complex wines, filled with spice, coffee, cinnamon, chocolate, plums, dark cherries, truffles, wet earth and fresh flowers. The texture is other worldly. It has a richness and viscosity, as well as silk and velvet feel that no other Bordeaux can offer. Even though it’s produced from almost 100% Merlot, Petrus is one of the longest lived Bordeaux wines produced. The best vintages of Petrus demand 30 years before they become fully mature displaying their true essence, showing the reason why wine lovers pay thousands of dollars for a single bottle. — 9 years ago
Grgich Hills Estate
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
This opaque and dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Grgich was great. It opens with a black raspberry and blueberry bouquet with hints of mild oak and leather. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is a tasty black currant and black cherry blend with notes of nicely integrated minerality and hints of blueberry, coffee, and oak. The finish is dry and its moderate dusty tannins linger and last for quite a while. Over the top overpowering the turkey at Thanksgiving dinner but delicious nonetheless. — 8 years ago
