Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1997

Girl. Sup? Shoot. This was utterly brilliant tonight. Classic Bordeaux yet, even at 26 years young, somewhat precocious still. A beautiful mix of deep, dark and red fruit with currants, blackberries and cherries with chocolate, purple flowers, green pepper, tobacco, earth, leather and awesomeness. Plenty of structure to keep this strutting for years to come. Fabulous balance and complexity. Drink now through 2047+. — 7 months ago

Fabulous in so many ways. I lost my notes but I remember with very fond memories and knew it was special from the moment I smelled it — 4 years ago

Whoa baby! Fabulous. Rich, soily, still primary with a touch of terchairy. Calon segur since 2005 is on a roll! This one is drinking well (like a lot of 09s) but so much time left — 3 years ago

Young and delicious, probably ten more years till the prime 05s show more secondary character

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Has all the stuffing of the mature Paulliacs that I love - sous bois, great structure integrated tannins and a touch of sweetness. Was hoping for a tad more complexity like the 96 which has a bit more tobacco and leather notes, but all in all a fabulous mellow Bordeaux. — 4 years ago

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

It’s been a while. Restaurant life is tough during a pandemic. Feel things on the upswing. Broke out something fabulous. Didn’t disappoint! 2011 vintage. Beautiful fruit, texture, hints of tobacco and leather. Drinking with those I love — 3 years ago

Bonneau du Martray

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2006

a fabulous bottle—all that it should be—steely tightly wound grand cru white wine from Corton Charlemagne. Huge upside yet, so young, wine will last decades. It’s got it all—fruit and structure, great acidity. Still a bit lean and needs to fill out, but a great bottle. — 4 years ago
