Vigna S. Caterina Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Instantly drinkable and very feminine. Plenty of rose pedals. Almost like a Pinot. Tart but not really scary Nebbiolo. This just does not strike me as something I need. It opens up nicely after 2 hour. So 94 points ...I am not so sure. — 7 years ago

It flirted with being good. The elements seemed to be there. Just never all at once.

Tasted blind. Dark blackish purple. Opaque. Huge nose. Notes of black cherry, cranberry, molasses, plum, tobacco leaf and a touch of menthol. Very primary in the mouth. Huge impact. Decent finish. Big wine. — 7 years ago

Reserve Tapestry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1996

9.5

I under estimated this wine last weekend as I didn't decant it. Some concern over a 20 year old CA Cabernet. However, this wine is still all there. There's something special when the right wine hits 20 years of age and there is simply no shortcut or substitute. The evolution in this wine is spectacular. Ripe plum, blackberries, dark raspberries, cooked strawberries, amazing baking spices, sweet dark earth and minerals, swede and soft leather, tobacco leaf, great balance, an amazing elegant finish and perfect acidity. I would have not expected this much from a Tapestry but there you go!!! Holding my 07's for much longer than I expected based on this 96. — 9 years ago

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1975

Neck fill and cork tight and sweet sounding when you pull it. You almost can tell if a bottle will be good by how the cork comes out. Juicy still with dark cranberry notes, pure of fruit and melted tannins and acid backbone. Love it as not sure how these 75's would have aged. — 10 years ago

Château d'Armailhac

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Mmm this is gunna be good. It's tight and shut down at the moment, but this has a dark purple hue to it - way more color than previous vintages of d'Armailhac that I've had. Some cedar and graphite mixed with herbs and black fruit on the nose. Palate isn't as tannic as expected, but definitely needs more time to hit its stride. Very well-made however - I bet with a 3-hr decant it'd be fab. Good value as most of the '14's have been. — 8 years ago
