  Paul Jaboulet Aîné Côte-Rôtie les Jumelles 1995

  Snoothrank:

  Brick red in the glass. Truffle remains on the nose and savory mushroom. Aromas of grilled herbs, pepper and dried bay leaf. Dried red fruit aromas also. Fading palate with flavors of dried red fruits, pretty red currant and berry under truffle and a savory salinity. It has held on well, but drink now. 91 pts.3/9/13 Read More

  Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Mucyn 2009

  Snoothrank:

  The 2010 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Mucyn is an outstanding, as well as reasonably priced, effort exhibiting plenty of dense black currant fruit, licorice, roasted herb, new saddle leather and spice box characteristics. Medium to full-bodied and ripe with good acidity as well as lingering, light tannins, it should drink nicely for a decade. 90/10... Read More

  Okay, couple wine bars in SF:  Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant in the Ferry Building.  Decent retail operation, too. Rouge et Blanc on Grant and Blanc et Rouge in the Embarcadero--different operations, confusing enough, but both run by outstanding restaurateurs and sommeliers.  (Emmanuel Kemidji is the somm at R et B.)There's also RN74, a restaurant b...

  Paul Jaboulet Aîné Crozes-Hermitage Domaine de Thalabert 2007

  Snoothrank:

  The nose showed cherries in fresh turned soil, with notes of undergrowth, candle wax, minerals and floral stems. On the palate it was lean, showing tight blackberry fruit, herbs and hints of stone. The finish was long, with red fruits clinging on the mid-palate. This wine closed in on itself and took six hours, open in bottle, to really show its... Read More
