Pours a thick dark black with almost no head. Chocolate, vanilla, coffee, molasses, and bourbon all playing nicely with each other with no one flavor overpowering the others. A very nice barrel aged stout. — 10 years ago
Great expression of the vintage, there's never really a bad thing to say about DRC, expressively beautiful in every vintage. — 10 years ago
Dark fruits, dusty tannins, lively and focused on the palate. Not bad for 38 years young. — 10 years ago

I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 11 years ago
2011, not bad. Nice oaky notes — 11 years ago
The nose is aged Bordeaux. It is delicious with dark fruit, spice, and tobacco. More like a nicely aged Pauilliac. The smoky finish is deliciously long.
The label was in such bad shape that I had to fill in the torn G for it to be ID'd. — 12 years ago

My first Vieux Telegraphe. I don't know if this is typical of the producer, but there was a very distinct minerality to this wine. I can't say it was necessarily good or bad, but it was unmistakable. This is drinkable now but could still age a while. — 9 years ago
Cinnamon attack, fine grained tannin. Lucious oak is robust at first and lingers. Juniper berry, thyme, Asian pear appears after 90 mins. After 2 hours in the decanter bright cherry gives way to goji berry, mid palate while showing good weight. Oak tannin finding its place while oak flavor continues to linger at lower intensity. Not bad for such a soft vintage at 7 years! — 10 years ago

A friends of mine @Alejandro Garcia said that I needed to do homework and practice makes perfect, so I am starting to work on trying different things. This wine was outstanding for a light lunch. Very jammy wine, easy to drink for anyone. Perfect for an easy evening of chatting. — 11 years ago
Got it for $10 at Von's not a bad vino — 11 years ago
Not a bad second bottle night. Good fruit. 2009 — 11 years ago
Still youg, a lot of fruit, soft tannin, a beautiful wine. Prouve that good chateau can make beautiful wine with bad year. — 11 years ago
Contrary to other wines, D'yquem is in a class of it's own in terms of Sauternes. There is rarely, if ever, a bad year, although some years, like the 2001, stand out more than others. The disparity in quality from a GREAT d'yquem to a mediocre one & so on isn't as drastic as one might imagine. While the older vintages seem to age VERY well, it isn't as discernible from a recent vintage as other wines. Sauternes, in general are consistent, & none more than d'yquem. — 12 years ago
Not a bad Saturday night 1.5L — 13 years ago
Not bad for $11.97! Excellent with roasted tomato and braised bacon pasta at the Chez Benzique Oakland pop-up. — 10 years ago
Bière IPA assez forte à 8.3. Des notes épicées et un goût assez intéressant — 10 years ago
Young but with signs of potential. Definitely decant this baby if your drinking it any time soon. Power developing but very condensed and restrained right now. It's Dunn so it can't be bad! — 11 years ago
The color is very opaque a deep dark purple almost black.
The boquet is so amazing I was sipping it before I realized what I was doing. It has absolutely no tanic smell. It smells like blackberries fresh on the vine. The initial palate taste is dry and not very rich. It has a light feel to it. It has a smooth light beginning and a dry almost tongue tantilizing finish. The flavor is of black currant, blackberry, and chocolate with a slight himt of acidity, but in a good way. It tingles the sides of my anteroir tongue. It has a very dry finish with no aftertaste. This is an amazing wine. This is Alexander Valley at its best. In a nut shell, its a big bold smooth and yet light wine. Almost like a Pinot in heaviness but big bad and bold like a Pure Cab
