Blind Spot

Shafer Vineyards

Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Great wine, impeccable balance and in a good spot. No sign of age but my preference is to drink them younger, 15 years is fine but I would not hold for 25 — 10 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1985

Still in a great spot, maybe slightly broad (not quite flabby), still some cherry fruit along with plenty of tobacco. — 12 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

In a great spot right now. Just enough maturity for me. Fresh, fruity with a bit of licorice. — 10 years ago

Almost 60 years, both the wine and me when I drank it in Paris, with very good friends. I felt great and the wine tasted really super. Served blind, I called it a very well aged Pauillac. I thought it was a younger wine.😏 #bordeaux #paris #pauillac #pichonbaron — 12 years ago

Brilliant!

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1976

Fragile and perfumed, distinctly Burgundian in character, although nose is classic Bordeaux. Blind tasted, my guess was Margaux. — 12 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

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. — 11 years ago
