2016 Albert Boxler Gewurtztraminer.
2010 Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir. Big Pinot. Quite a contrast to the much more elegant 2007 Margrain Home Block that we had the other night.
2010 Chateau Fortia CdP Cuvée Baron.
2018 Bedrock Syrah
NV Suenen C+C BdB
NV Cedric Bouchard Val Vilane
1985 Castello di Nieve Barbaresco Santo Stefano
The Suenen was good but painfully young. Needs a few years IMO. The Bouchard, as always, was fantastic. Such a vinous champagne. Love it. The Barbresco was an auction purchase and near the end of its life. It had a nice orange/brown edge to it, showed good typicity once the intial funk blew off but quickly deteriorated with ever increasing oxidative notes in the decanter. Not bad for a Tuesday.
2006 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Probably - was not a huge alcohol wine but if you had told me it was a rhone blend I would not have been surprised.

2016 Melville Pinot.
For the gazillionth time. Hard to fathom a better use of $30-$35 for Pinot Noir.
