Turley
Ueberroth Vineyard Zinfandel 2004
Not as boozy hot as I expected - still a bit monolithic, though. — 9 years ago
Bollinger
La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 1996
Some oxidation on the nose, plenty of the typical Bollinger yeasty, bready character, with appley fruit, oddly sweet and viscous seeming on the palate. — 9 years ago
Paul Jaboulet Aîné
La Chapelle Hermitage Syrah 1997
A bit nondescript and turbid. OK. — 9 years ago
Torbreck Vintners
Descendant Barossa Valley Shiraz Viognier 1998
Surprisingly good black fruit still present on the nose, somewhat simple palate wise, but still a nice quaff long after I figured this wine was D.O.A. — 9 years ago
Weingut Forstmeister Geltz Zilliken
Saarburger Rausch Spätlese Riesling 2002
Nice fruit and a huge dollop of gout de petrol. Flavors a bit muddled, needs more acidity. — 9 years ago
Mark Lee
Smoove, still nice cassis notes on the nose, with menthol and mushroomy notes. Tannins have pretty much faded out by now, with good berry flavors. — a year ago
