Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Heimbourg Riesling 2012
Massive, super-ripe, block-buster nose revealing acacia honey, partly dried tropical fruits and spice elements. Exotic on the palate with acidity balancing the RS, in this off-dry and powerful version. — 11 years ago
Château d'Yquem
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1999
Such a baby yet, huge aromatics of apricot, lemon zest, stone fruit. Bright crisp acidity balancing a luscious sweetness. Power and finesse in one. Tons of age left. — 11 years ago
Château Pontet-Canet
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Seña
Aconcagua Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007
Very good nose with intense aroma of ripe fruit and cassis. Its dark ruby red color does not deceive ones sense. The density of the wine with well balancing between tannin and acidity. This will get even better in the next 5-10 years. — 13 years ago
Château Latour
Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986
Usually have the best wine of the week at Sunday lunch. The 86 Latour is this weeks wine of the week. Hi Tannic year in Bordeaux and many experts think that Latour lost the plot in 86 with most thinking that Mouton was the wine of the vintage. This wine had lots of leather savouriness with no fruit character but still a class act. A good wine but not at the usual superlative Latour standard. — 11 years ago
Beaulieu Vineyard
Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1966
An ode to 2 amazing women who look and act far younger than this '66 BV with whom they share a birthday. Still fresh and gaining weight in the glass for an hour, the nose was classic Napa. It showed neither bricking or shading of the cassis and black cherry fruit, with acidity and tannins on the downside but fading gracefully. What a pleasant surprise - thanks to @benchmark and sommelier Brian @farm at carneros inn, who cracked a cork I would've destroyed! — 11 years ago
Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
2001. Wotn by split vote 3-2. I voted for it. If u dig 01 Bordeaux becoz of low tannin but good structure, u will admire this. Bouquet forming, juicy balancing red n black fruit and the tannin magnificently round! Opens up after an hour in decanter. Buy. — 12 years ago

Had the magnum a while back with family and was impressed. This wine is wonderful a nose you want to dive into, and then just a wonderful collaboration of fruit, tannin and balancing acid. Bravo - just placed my order for the 2012. — 11 years ago
