Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

2010 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes and 1.5 hours. Light-medium/medium body. Silky, supple and supremely beautiful-for Bordeaux. Beautiful closure on a lengthy finish. So much attention to detail without it being overtly obvious. Exceptional beauty and a fave, cutting edge BDX producer-along with Durfort-Vivens in Margaux to taste the possibilities of the region. For Pauillac, nearly as gorgeous as Pichon-Lalande...a very close second. This was so stunning. 12.5.25. — 7 days ago

La Porte du Caillou Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with biscuit and floral notes. On the palate flavors of peach, apple and melon with white floral herb notes. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, herb and yeasty notes, lively acidity with slight mineral character. Small production, nice! — 2 months ago

Le Grand Caillou Pinot Noir 2022

Cool label. Nice color. Darker version on Pinot Noir. Smells like avocado oil, currant and cranberry sauce and cut wood. Flavors are cherry berry sauce. Fuller backbone. Like a really good berry based candy. Complex. — 15 days ago

Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

Lovely C9dP. Plum and black olives dominate in a complex palate. Beautiful balanced. The 15 alcohol is not a problem. It does not have a ‘dry’ finish. Very elegant. Sad it is my last bottle out of 6. — 2 months ago

Cuvée Unique Vieilles Vignes Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2005

This is a SUPERIOR Côtes du Rhône, dark fruits, lovely depth and complexity, this is old vines fruit just barely outside the CdP appellation (similar to Coudoulet de Beaucastel), and has long been a poor man’s CdP!! — 3 months ago

Given how light my most recent bottle of this was, I am dumbfounded that this 20-yr old is still kickin!

@Tom Casagrande, I don’t believe I bought this cuvée after 2005, but I likely have a few orphan bottles going back to 1998, 1999 and/or 2000? The older bottles have almost universally held up well for me. 🤷🤷
