An absolute pleasure of a champagne! Fine layers of flavors and long lasting finish. Not a bad way to kick off a big lunch with the family. — 7 years ago

Picked up in auction. Label is trashed but decent fill. So deceiving. Nose from bottle yuck. Nose from glass oh my. This is beautiful. Soft. Some tobacco. Some fruit like an old blackberry but not in a bad way. Giving no it a 8.9 bit could move it up a notch. — 8 years ago

A fantastic 2002, this lovely wine shows once more that today there aren't really bad years in Bordeaux, this Pontet Canet was well structured rich and tempting. Deep red, tempting rich multi layered nose ripe cherries, black current, coffee, cigar box, and tea leaves, full rich body, dry tannins, full of black fruit, high acidity and a long chewy finish. Was worth the wait, my score 90. Drink to 2022 — 10 years ago

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

Bright, nice tannns and finish, earthy, luscious mouthfeel. Curious how it might develop. — 7 years ago

My favorite go-to Sav Blanc, especially when the weather turns warm in Phoenix. Green apple, pear and citrus notes (lime?) followed by a hint of herbs in the finish. Pairs well with goat cheese. I like this wine with a cheese board. — 8 years ago

A textural treat. This and Buccella are some of the best textural wines on the market. Massive tannins yet they are fine and round. Dark berry compote, cocoa, plum, mild licorice, graphite. A baby waiting to be born. Too bad most will drink this way too young because it delivers oodles immediately after popping the cork. — 9 years ago

Excellent complement to the stellar weather on the deck at Palomino. Favored by all 4 participants. — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

2nd bottle update. Significant improvement!! Still on the fruit forward side but richer, not grapey, with tobacco and some menthol on the finish. I think it’s a bit below prior vintages but an enjoyable quaff. Think I had a bad bottle. Disappointing but it happens. — 8 years ago

Bottled just a few months ago, the 2015 Continuum is shaping up to be a real gem. The flavors are dark, bold and incisive. In 2015, poor weather during flowering took with it 50% of the production in Continuum's prime Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. As a result, the 2015 has a high percentage (31%) of Cabernet Franc. Today, the Franc is keeping the wine a bit clenched, but that should be less of an issue as time passes. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2018) — 8 years ago

Strawberry jam wine. Drank this during a rare heat spell. Light enough for the warm weather, and fruitiness was very refreshing. Once paired with food, the fruitiness was a bit excessive. — 9 years ago

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
