Exotic spice, dried red fruits and a finish that carried on for what seemed like hours. Wonderful wine showing a bit past peak, but still a treat. — 11 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Big quality fruit bomb - 2006 - drinking softly now, open 2 hours. Would like to see if the fruit resolves over the next few years. — 11 years ago

Jurançon Petit Manseng 2011

Luxury aroma, with certain acid feeling — 12 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

decanted 2 hours. cassis, cherry, but also a fragrant floral nose and earthiness more similar to a burgundy/pinot. very elegant wine, almost feminine and an intoxicating nose. well-balanced and it was delicious over dinner. the last few sips we noticed slight fading. A splendid wine for a birthday celebration. — 11 years ago

How did you like it with the bolognese? Any other pairing recommendations?

This is a big rosé so I'd recommend something heartier than you might typically pair. My own take is that this a a great cocktail wine.

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

This wine evolved over several hours. Smelled like books and stewed cherries. Long spicy finish. Fresh broccoli. — 11 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1991

Drinking the 1991 in 2016 after over 2 hours of decanting. Wonderful light sherry type nose with a hint of pepper and quite brick red colour around the edges. Such a soft texture on the tongue though still a little astringency on the finish. Very good. — 11 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1986

Crisp cranberry emerges after a few hours. Light acidity surrounds eucalyptus appeal. Oak tannins balanced and refined. Subtleties develop luscious progression. — 11 years ago
