very strange, bad storage?

No, the tasting group predicted boforehand that this was not the best period for PC, and indeed this was just not a well made wine and it was over the hill.

Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1995

Open. Last one. Blackberry violets meats lead pencils some baking spices. Fruit is mostly gone on palate. Still good tannins structure Open an hour. Leather comes though more. Fruit flavors of light blackberry bramble. Turned excellent over 2 hrs. — 4 years ago

Château Prieuré-Lichine

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

82 vintage still holding its own. Fruit is long gone, but still very smooth and all the qualities of a Margaux. Personally, my tastes have changed in the past 50 years…I would much prefer a bold and intense Howell Mountain cab to the subtleties of a good Bordeaux. — 5 years ago

La Paciencia Vineyard Grenache 2014

Had the tempranillo a few months ago, this time it’s the grenache. It’s still wickedly young but putting out loads of cherry and watermelon juiciness and then immediately takes a turn into that rocks district funk. Always impressive how that shines through even when these wines are fresh. — 7 years ago

Wendouree Clare Valley Shiraz Malbec 2004

Good to be back home with my cellar🥰
The wine took a while to open up, but then it showed all the elegance of the Wendouree Shiraz and the muscular intensity of the allegedly oldest vines of Malbec in the world.
It is always something special to open this producer.
Definitely not a typical Australian wine; extremely good with food. I would say supportive with the meal. Long and reassuring.
@Delectable Wine i am having a big issue, about 1500/1600 wine reviews of mine have gone. I can't visualise them anymore..could you please help?🙏thanks

Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

2016 vintage. From Coravin. Medium body. Phenomenal smoky, mineral nose. Almost all traces of the baby fat gone. Transitioning from the teen years into young adulthood but still visiting the parents to do laundry on occasion. Tannins picking up and slowly becoming more pronounced. Need to taste this again in a year or two. Very promising. 5.9.24. — 2 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Dali vintage. Still super alive and young, what fun wine to drink alongside Dali’s Wines of Gala book. Most of the fruit is gone, lots of terroir shining through — grape seeds and clay. Some sage / menthol. Literally no oxidative notes — 5 years ago

Clos Saint Michel

Cuvée Reserve Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2018

My 08’s were very good as well, but they were at their peak I think. Believe I drank those last year or 2019. $125.00

Girls day at The Farm...... this is a wonderfully light, crisp, citrusy wine perfect for a Florida evening discussing books with girlfriends. This wine pairs well with all different kinds of cheeses, breads and chocolate!!😉 — 7 years ago

La Paciencia Vineyard Tempranillo 2015

A real head turner. This tastes all at once like its aged and complex but young and fresh. Evolves with air and the dark fruits continue to come forward over leather and tobacco notes. This is still very young so it will be interesting to see how it evolves in bottle, but it’s so good now. — 7 years ago

I recently enjoyed a '70, a top ten lifetime wine for me.

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

On the eye it’s definitely showing some age and sediment. The nose is dusty, leathery, and smokey with blueberry and plum. The pallet is earthy and well integrated upfront. No outliers just beautiful flow: mushroom, game, dark fruit, some vanilla, still bold, low alcohol, medium tannic and round finish.

This bottle and I have history; after ten years of carrying it, babying it, and nurturing it. I decided to pop it open for my forty second nameday. Could have gone several more years, easy, but it was perfect timing for me, and this is why I love wine. Cheers.
