Delectable didn't give this vintage much love, but Delectable has been shatting the bed lately. This wine is fantastic. I stole a sip, and letting it get a little air before steaks this afternoon. Wonderful medley of fruit and savory components. Lots of sediment. Nice balance, it's going to be perfect with the ribeyes.

First time trying this, and it’s prodigious. Balanced and laser-focused.
All my scores are rolling to the center of the bed at 95. — 5 years ago

The “Un-Rose” as I like to call it. Nose is strawberry, cherries and citrus. So clean. On a mineral bed. Smells like summer. Watermelon as well. Blood orange with air. Dense, deep and sappy for this wine as 18 vintage carries a lot of weight with it, but it’s so caressing, so supple and so succulent the extra weight is carried off effortlessly. Amazing palate presence and finesse. The palate is surprisingly mineral with some mid season cherry fruit. This will open as it aerates. But this is best since 15 for me. — 6 years ago

Damn fine Châteauneuf. Velvety mouthfeel, soft fine tannins, lavender and rose petals sprinkled on top of red berries on a bed of cedar. — 8 years ago

Birth year wine.
"Looks like a tricky one"... if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
This is Chateau Latour Martillac, Graves, 1975.
This wine is slightly over the hill, but has survived 50 years. Just like me.
I'm assuming this is Cabernet, Merlot, and maybe something else. Fine, pale brick color. The nose is lively and generous with fruit, though there is a bit of grandma's basement.
The palette is driven by tertiary flavors. Mushroom, truffle, wet leaves, and pencil tend to drown out a bit of dark cherry. A little astringent. Maybe some Petit Verdot.
I wouldn't kick this out of bed for eating crackers, but I would prefer it with some lamb.
Hope you all are having an awesome Sunday!

Lighter red color than I expected. Kinda a dark rose color. Nose is pencils and damp granite gravel river bed. And cherry Coke. Flavors are very dry and the whole classroom pencil sharpener. Also has rose petals and black chocolate mixed with anise and charred meats. Hint of blood. — 7 years ago

Vintage dated oloroso sherry? Sure... Unreal, not fully mature like a px, more like tropical fruit mixed with a nutty/oxidized thing. I could have a glass of this before bed every night. — 10 years ago

A magnum from The Reserve Cellar $462. A heavenly bed of roses, about as good as this style of Barolo can get, for a not immodest price. — a year ago

Juicy yet elegant Gamay fro the Loire. Black currant and black cherry on a bed of rock. Pure in it’s fruitiness but with nice structure coming from the granite.
Drinking very nicely and a perfect fit with goat cheese. — 6 years ago

Fruit forward and easy drinking red wine on a nice summer evening. Good value for this vintage 2016. Had to be less than $15 at Bed Bath and Beyond/World Market. — 7 years ago

Terrific pinot from Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton. Absolutely love their wines after a few years in bottle, they come across as a central coast version of a premier cru burgundy. The nose screams Old World with earthy notes, but the rich palate says New World with evolving layers of red berry flavors, all supported by enough acidity to keep the wine alive. Awesome pairing with Vanessa’s poached chicken with a tomatillo and jalapeno salsa on a bed of steamed spinach with onion and bell pepper. In short, life is great! 😊 — 7 years ago
