2004
Leoville Barton
Popped decanted and drank over 3 hours. Garnet-purple color. Nose of green pepper dominant, with tar, graphite and pencil shavings, and black currant. Tannins still just a little angular, the green pepper/cedar notes evident on the pallette, followed by the undernotes and lastly the fruit. Tightly wound, still needs time to loosen and show its best, and rating may improve with it.
2002
Beringer - Merlot Bancroft Ranch
Suffered from the excesses of early 2000s winemaking, over-oaked, imbalanced fruit bomb.
2002
Albert Morot - Beaune Les Cent Vignes 1er Cru
Crimson in color. Floral, slight cherry and and mushroom on the nose. Strawberry and slight, pleasant mushroom/forest floor, earth on the pallette. Short finish bumps it down, otherwise lovely.
2004
Garrigue - Vacqueyras La Cantarelle
Rustic, brambly, extracted. Needed food to bring it around. Had it together with the 2008, which was fresher and higher acid.
2009
Robert Sinskey - Pinot Blanc
Hit all the notes, nice citrus, grassy, good acid. fantastic stuff.
