Brut Champagne Blend 1983

Still maintaining nice bubbles after all these years. Brioche. The color CANNOT be beat. Bold, elegant--everything you would hope for from an old(er) Dom! — 9 years ago

Great cedar and cassis nose with a matching palate. Persistent without being boring. Earthiness coming out after an hour to balance chocolate covered berries. — 11 years ago

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

Star of the night. Needed more time to wake but full body super thick and sticky after taste — 13 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

This wine needed about 3 hours to release. Initially tight with uncomfortable medicinal nose which then totally dissipated. Drinking now next day and you get the age of fully integrated but not fading tannins. Nose has a delightful dark fruit and smokiness. Great fit of nose and taste, meaning - when tastes after smelling the experience is consistent and not jolting. I think the color purple in a subdued way. Very nice. Memo to self: decant and watch for sediment, and enjoy three hours later. — 10 years ago

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

Anthony Trumbo

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.

2009. Shy! Cream to drink, iodine to smell. Became more expressive after about an hour in the decanter. Very pretty, without angles but not quite round either. Curious. Cull&Pistol in Chelsea Mkt — 12 years ago

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Very impressive. Wild mint aroma finds seamless balance in mid palate after pure Cabernet attack. Tannins rise subtly on palate and betray their youth only briefly at the resolution. — 11 years ago

9.2

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

Bold and big. After 1985, together with 1997 and 2004 one of the greatest vintage ever.
Definitely ready to go. Magnum as its best. — 12 years ago
