This was a vertical of 38 vintages to celebrate Joseph Phelps Insignia 40th anniversary! The most balanced of the 00's vintage! — 13 years ago

This was more richer and denser than the 89 and drinking better than the 00 at the moment. This is very sexy and opulent wine with plum, chocolate, spice and licorice, nice weight and texture in the mouth. Great vintage for Cheval! — 11 years ago

Drinking beautifully tonight was the opaque inky purple '00 Ojai Syrah 'Melville Vineyards'. Zippy aromas of black fruit, burnt rubber, herbes de Provence and lavender lifted from the decanter. Great intensity of ripe spicy fruit flavors on the palate with precise balancing acidity. Still a young tasting wine with many years of drinkability left. — 12 years ago

Drinking well. Just a little appetizer before a great 06 Latour and 00 Margaux. Yum! — 11 years ago

An inky purple/red with ample sediment, the '00 Ojai Syrah 'Roll Ranch Vineyard' emits opulent notes of cassis, musky incense and white pepper. The opulent mouthfeel is quite fresh and silky with the flavor profile echoing the nose, but with an added juicy licorice element. Finishes long and spicy. — 12 years ago

The transparent ruby '00 Domaine Charvin Châteauneuf-du-Pape is full of ripe aromas of cassis, espresso, bittersweet chocolate and licorice. Low acidity on the palate makes for a creamy lush finish. Yummy! — 13 years ago
