Always a good qpr I think with these Bertheaus. Easy to drink, nice tart cherries, great with food.

Drinking well, textbook burg with cherry, black tea, sous bois, very young still of course, lots of development left. #rockthered #letsgocaps — 9 years ago

Band aids, green peppers, raspberry, tobacco, very forward tannins still, lots of grip, but so good. Couple more decades of life I'm sure.

After the failure of big domestic red last game, we're back to my favorite; good Burgundy :)

And this is good...I still think 07 is fairly overlooked, I've enjoyed most I've had, and prices are still rational. Somewhat.

Right up my alley here. Great nose of earth, meat, vanilla, saffron, cherry, umami soy, spices, and an interesting hint of pachouli I dont think I've ever found in a wine before...just good stuff. Pretty palate too, lingering savory finish. Smooth, medium tannins that grip, a ways to go before they fully integrate.

Decanted, will follow over the evening.

On open: big wine, tart but ripe, red cherry, intersting mix of orange peel, five spice, and wet fall leaves. Big tannins, astringent, some alcohol on the nose actually...will check in later

Didnt get back to this until 24 hours later...this really opened up the next day unsurprisingly. Alcohol aroma totally vanished, tannins smoothed out completely, excellent. Give it some more time, or a very long decant.

On to the red wine! Too young but I wanted to try the first bottle of the batch for a baseline. And there's unsurprisingly oak, but Vosne spices too underneath, black cherry, hint of earth, touch of reduction...think the raw material is here, and it will get much better, just needs 20 years! #rockthered #letsgocaps #capspens #openthewhoopass — 9 years ago

Baby killing to check out a bottle at the beginning. Distinct Vosne spice, star anise, cinnamon, cardamom. This would be fantastic with a bowl of Pho, ha!

Young, pretty, still very tight, the tannins grip like Velcro while still managing to come off as silk smooth after that initial lock in fades. Aside from the spices, black cherry, hint of cream, sweet tarragon, the subtlest mint, damn this is good already.

Will open another in 2024, ha!

Big domestic red, a red lightsaber, and the game. Let's do this. #rockthered #Maythe4thbewithyou #letsgocaps #rockthered #capspens #starwars

So the wine: distinctly red, not purple drank! Raspberry, maraschino cherry, rose, graphite, Graham crackers, hint of green, smoke, tomato...palate comes off a little hot, tannins are smooth, but a ways to maturity I'd say.

The color here is distinctly red, not purple drank! — 10 years ago

Back to a big domestic red for the Caps :) Hint of smoked meat, oak, pepper, an almost skunkiness?, root veggies, quite hot on the nose, with big rough tannins. This comes off much younger than its 6 years, curious what this does in 20 years. Interesting wine I think, but it's one of those that I much prefer the nose to the palate.

On pop n pour this is already really good funky Burgundy. Tight on the palate, and a youthful freshness, but has that obvious characteristic barnyard I look for. Love it already, but hoping the palate smooths a bit with a decant...will follow up

The elusive Maison Ilan 😋🤣 '12 is better than the '11, and this really is a pretty decent bottle of Burgundy.

Probably the best bottle I've had of this out of 7 so far. What it should be I think, funk, sassafras, hint of tart cherry, vague hint of flowers in the first glasses. Changes fast with some air. #rockthered #capsflyers #letsgocaps — 9 years ago

Unmistakable Walla Walla, black olive brine, dill, bloody meat, chocolate, coffee...So good, right up my alley. #rockthered #letsgocaps — 9 years ago

Really good bottle of Burg, young, powerful, black cherry, barnyard, earth, but still very big tannins...once they resolve this will be even better. — 10 years ago

Another interesting wine tonight! Elderflower, vanilla, spices, limoncello, rainwater.

Not red, but can't hurt. Tighten it up in the 2nd and 3rd Caps. Holtby great as always.
