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

Good stuff, even better after 24 hours in a decanter, ha! Forgot to post this last night in the excitement of the Caps staving off elimination! #rockthered — 9 years ago


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
Awesome qpr. Red cherry, Valentines day heart candies, barnyard, hint of reduction still. So good. #burgundythursday #rockthered — 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

Band aids, green peppers, raspberry, tobacco, very forward tannins still, lots of grip, but so good. Couple more decades of life I'm sure.
And do or die Caps, already in the hole 1-0 #letsgocaps #rockthered #capspens #dunnvineyards #howellmountain #playoffs — 10 years ago

Always a great bottle if you like the style #letsgocaps #rockthered #rocktheitalianred — 8 years ago
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
Roses, violets, red fruits, some note that reminds me of carbonic, awesome

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!

Opening night! Rocking the non domestic red this season, why not 👍 nice way to start, all the Burgundy highlights I want, spiced cherry, black tea, barnyard and wet leaves. Time will only make this prettier at this point.

Nice and funky #gocaps #rockthered — 8 years ago
Always a good qpr I think with these Bertheaus. Easy to drink, nice tart cherries, great with food.
New season #letsgocaps #rockthered #burgundythursday #burgundythursdaynightfootball — 9 years ago
Time to get Dirty & Rowdy again. #letsgocaps #capspens#openthewhoopass #game7 #rockthered
Oh yeah, the wine's good 🤣 — 9 years ago
Reaching into the wayback machine of my palate preferences to see if I can motivate the Caps to not suck in the playoffs with some Big F*©king Red Wine. And yeah, this wine just isn't my bag anymore, baby. But I'll take one for the team and choke it down 🤣😂
Ok, I'm being dramatic, it's not terrible, just not what I'm used to drinking anymore.
Strong blackberry, graphite, anise, oak, touch of saline, mint, not too tannic on the palate actually. Fairly smooth.

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

Black fruit, herbs, yeasty bread...I suddenly think this would be really good with Thanksgiving stuffing! Pairs well with Caps hockey at least #rockthered #chinonthursday — 10 years ago
I know you'll win today Caps. #rockthered #letsgocaps #capspens #playoffs #burgundy #dugatpyistheshit
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
