A new upcoming Chilean icon blend @ £100-£120 that’s becoming a favourite of mine 😍 Did you know they play relaxing music to the wine in the barrel whilst it develops 💗 I reviewed the 2012 a few weeks back 😉 and can’t wait for 2013 to come out! I’ve still not tried their first 2010 release ... yet

Such a contrast from the 82. Fresh and lively. Spicy savory flavors. Lots of bright acidity. Tasted maybe 9 years old, not 29. Remarkable wine. #smalicewedding — 11 years ago

The 2016 Long Shadows 'Saggi' is a thrilling blend of Sangiovese (Boushey and Candy Mountain Vineyards) with 29% Cabernet Sauvignon (Weinbau Vineyard) and the remainder Syrah (Den Hoed Dutchman and Bacchus Vineyards). The nose is drop-dead gorgeous with bacon fat, black olive tapenade, mocha and fennel. The stunning range of aromas bring you back to the glass for more. Revealing a silky texture and a wonderfully ripe mouthfeel, this slowly unveils smoked meat, black tea, milk chocolate covered cherry and roasted fig flavors. Decadent, layered and downright delicious, this beautiful wine will enjoy an exceedingly long life in the cellar. Drink 20-9-2033- 95 — 8 years ago

Couldn't hold out any longer, I've had this at least 7-10 days now,
Great cork for a 22 year old bottle, juice is great! No brown or bricking of the wine. Someone stored this properly.
Old school 13.2 abv,
I look forward to the day Delectable realizes technology is beyond 1995 and updates their site so I can actually receive notifications,🙄 lame — 9 years ago

You would love this wine @Ron R , classic napa. If I was guaranteed all napa 95's would be this good I'd buy cases, but we all know its a crap shoot with older California juice, just glad to get a good one,obviously not purchased from benchmark.

@Eric S found it on winebid, only $80.00 so It was worth the risk, I've had more toasted wine from @Benchmark Wine Group than from all other auction & retailers put together,GW tasting 12/13/16. $630. Nose that is well balanced with striking nuttiness and spices. Palate is balanced and savory and finish is long and complex. Be good with cigars. Last of classic collection. — 10 years ago
Ok, 29 mouton was pretty cool too. Soooooo not depressing. — 12 years ago

This delicious Cabernet Sauvignon is a style that reflects modern Oakville, while still capturing the classic flavors of this stunning winegrowing region. Rich notes of cassis, cherry, and ripe plum are highlighted by flavors of vanilla and spice from the French Oak barrels it was aged in. Medium-bodied with an elegant finish — 8 years ago
