La Mouline Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2001

Initially tightly wound and pretty slow to get going, but it makes a big change after a sufficient decant and begins to show what La Mouline is all about. Pure class and elegance with seductive and complex aromatics of red berry fruit, bacon fat, campfire smoke and fresh violets. The palate is expansive with killer intensity, a velvety texture and a long and vibrant finish. Last sips were the best. This is still young. — 5 years ago

This was the very first LaLa I had, and it was only about a month ago. Astoundingly delicious.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1950

A slightly stinky front. Then real deep clarity of raspberry fruit. There’s a gentle luscious center of hauntingly pure aged fruit (dried roses, soft cherry?) leading into the end palate. Really lucid. Delicious. — 7 years ago

Domaine La Barroche

Cuvée Pure Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache 2021

Light reddish in color with medium intensity.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing raspberries, fresh cherries, light tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, earth, and chocolate notes.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Grenache from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still young, but already easy drinking and very approachable. Rich and powerful, elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

100% Grenache grapes from 100 year old vines, were aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and concrete vats. A small production of less than 3,500 bottles.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$190.

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Birth year vintages are a roll of the dice but luckily I landed on a pretty solid classic - 1978. So for my birthday this year, we opened an LLC and wow was this perfect. The sommelier was surgical in removing the cork which split in half but he managed to extract it. The nose on this wine was a 10 - loads of cassis, licorice, dusty library and leather. Palate was extracted cassis, leather and great acidity and liveliness, just like my 44 year old self. It’s just pure magic when bottles this old perform - happy Friday everyone. — 5 years ago
