Domaine Saint-Damien
Gigondas Clovis Saurel 2016
I have a few of these at home (12s, etc), but can’t drink em any more…

First mag of two — 12 days ago
You stoled these at auction. Cheers! 🍷
I've always wanted to try a Cobb Pinot. He's also the winemaker for Les Claypool Purple Pachyderm line too.
Journeyman
Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2021
👊🏾👍🏾
Not every night needs to be a 💰💰💰 bottle, it’s only Tuesday. I’ll save those bottles for at least the middle of the week
Agreed, frankly I prefer this type of experience. The less I spend, the more value I extract when the wine is this good. Also, WS rated this 94pts and I consider their ratings to be the most reliable out there…
Dalla Valle Vineyards / Ornellaia
DVO Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2019
I’ll be having the 17 on Monday.
Beaulieu Vineyard
Reserve Tapestry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1997
It’s a nice bottle.
You win some you lose some on these older secondary bottles. Dumped a 97 Phelps Napa last week.
Chêne Bleu
Abélard Grenache Syrah 2007
WA Review 95 points ( dense and structured, yet still vibrant and very pure, the 2007 Abelard is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. Loaded with deep blackberry and black cherry fruit, licorice, crushed stone and hints of roasted herbs, it is full rich and concentrated, with knockout precision and focus. It is serious stuff and still a baby. Drink it over the coming decade)
96 points for me since it’s aged very well. — 6 days ago

98 point review from Jeb- Made from 100% Grenache brought up all in demi-muids, the 2016 Gigondas Clovis Saurel is deeply colored and offers an extraordinary bouquet of kirsch liqueur, strawberries, garrigue, crushed flowers, and exotic spices. It's ripe, sexy, opulent and powerful, yet graceful and elegant, with no hard edges, and brilliant tannins. It’s a big step up from the 2015 (which is a great wine in its own right) and is one of the true gems in the vintage
First time having this, nice bottle. I would buy again. — 7 hours ago
