Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

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

Epic Brewing

Big Bad Baptist Exponential Series Imperial Stout 2016

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

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Dark fruits, dusty tannins, lively and focused on the palate. Not bad for 38 years young. — 10 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1980

Supposedly a bad vintage. Well..... Send them all to me.

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

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

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1979

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

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

When you have to travel on a Sunday, and that Sunday happens to be Mother's Day, you're not exactly psyched. This little oasis in the Delta Sky Club afforded me the opportunity to smile. Not a bad pour, regardless of the price. Typical Lynch-Bages cigar tobacco and leather with some luscious and velvety black fruit. Finished a little flat, most likely due to being open for a while in the fancy automated pour gizmo. But still smiling! — 9 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

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

We should probably have drunk this twenty years ago, but the wine is still having a respectable old age (hope I will be able to say the same)! We bought this after drinking an earlier vintage of the same wine in Florence our first trip to Italy, in 1978, when the grapes were still on the vine....
