1990
Pichon Baron
Dark color with a wisp of brick red at the edge. Traditional Bordeaux aromas with field flowers, wet earth and grass. Initial taste with velvet tannins, ripe berries and some dark fruit. An elegance that is smooth and traditional classic Bordeaux.

Sequana - Pinot Noir Sundawg Ridge Vineyard
I am very impressed with this wine. Really nice Pinot noir qualities of fresh berries with some dried strawberries. Full body and nicely integrated tannins and glycerin with a long finish. Wish I had more of this.
2000
Pipeau
A nice wine with some standard Bordeaux qualities - reserved, dark fruits and fairly tanic and drinking well. I doubt it will improve with any more age.
2000
Barde Haut
Developing slight age but still very forward with fruit and a progressive style slightly similar to a nice California Cab. Seemed better when I tasted this several years ago.
2003
Alain Graillot - Crozes-Hermitage
Excellent note by Daniel B that sums it up perfectly. I would suggest that this wine is still doing well and can be enjoyed for several years to come. Wish I had more...
