Blind Side

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

1999. Slightly underwhelming. Nice stuff, earth and meat on the nose, relatively light body, bit of a smoky finish, but not that long. If blind I would have had this as something more humble. — 10 years ago

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

Absolutely fantastic for the price, I'd pay double what it costs in a blind test. — 11 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

Past its prime ? Could be. Otherwise a smooth and well rounded blend, a bit on the dry side, notes of earth and dark ripe berries. Was paired very well with a prime aged steak and truffles. — 13 years ago
