Blind Spot

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Matthew Denci
9.3

Heitz has still got it baby, 1998 Napa cab standing up nicely at 18 years old. The color is only just showing signs of age. The nose is full of mint and lamb. In a strange spot since its not especially lush or fruity and yet hasn't fully developed the tertiary notes you would expect. But has the bones to go longer still. — 10 years ago

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

Château Malescot St. Exupéry

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

Jay Rosen
9.1

Nice nose of dark cherry and coffee Very soft on the palate showing plums and fig to go along with the cherries. Very soft an elegant. Has shed its youthful tannins and is in a perfect spot right now. Start drinking those 03's. — 12 years ago

One of my favorite Irish whiskies!

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Matt Austin
9.1

My father-in-law bought a case of this on release and we have had one each year since. In the past this has always been very tight and structured. This year the tannins have nearly fully resolved and the wine is very fruit forward. I'm not sure that it's for the better, but this is still very enjoyable with a steak. I think in three or four years this may be in its sweet spot. — 12 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1976

Gareth Tilley
8.9

Fragile and perfumed, distinctly Burgundian in character, although nose is classic Bordeaux. Blind tasted, my guess was Margaux. — 13 years ago

Russian River Brewing Company

Blind Pig IPA India Pale Ale

Hector Escaton
9.4

Given that I could easily drink 50 of these, there's really no need for so-called "session IPAs." — 11 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

Guy Davies
8.9

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. — 11 years ago

99 las cases. In an amazing spot right now. I love these ripe Bordeaux with age. All the usual scents- cedar, lead pencil, Leather, tobacco. Awesome stuff. Great drinker right now. — 14 years ago
