2004 Ch. Beycheville, St Julien - well balanced, but not quite ready to be drunk. The tannins were luscious and overall, the wine was real nice. "I recently drank my
1995 and that was so cigar box, black and luscious. The epitome of a lusciously masculine wine with tons of delicious mineral-rich dirt" Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2015
2004 Ch. Talbot, St. Julien - herbaceous, eucalyptus and a little green. I remember this being one of the most pickle/vegetable like of the whole event. Everything in the wine seemed to be under ripe. It was like a Chilean wine in terms of the cooked vegetable character it possessed. It was actually a really complex wine.

1995 Chateau Talbot, St. Julien - ($949 case) - starting to open up, but still a bit too young. There was some green bell pepper and was quite rough and definitely masculine. Last tasted 2007 Drink now-2015

Wine and Waves
I'm lucky to be a 31-year-old surf punk that gets to sample rare wines like the 1922 Pol Roger, the 1959 Petrus and the 2001 D.R.C. Richebourg--that doesn't mean those wines are always good, or worth the price. Since I've worked as a sommelier (in Monterey, CA) for high-end restaurants like Casanova, the Sardine Factory, and Marinus, I've honed my palate and I can choose a good bottle that won't break the bank. When I have enough time and money, I like to travel with my girl Lindsay Jackson to places with great wine and waves. I'm a certified sommelier (Court of Master Sommeliers) and am available to drink wine. Call: 831-521-8606 or e-mail: pwetterau@gmail.com
