Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 9 years ago

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2010

Knockout California Pinot. Yeah, the high alcohol is there, but the rest of it is stupidly well crafted - concentrated fruit, baking spice, violets, and forest notes on the nose, an acidic zip gives way to dark cherries, floral notes, and a lingering tannic finish. Fairly bright for its age and drinking super well. Wish this thing was a magnum. — 11 years ago

Jinx! We were so on target with each other's note! Big on the palate but not too oaked or jam bomb-y. Great balance and lush! Tart red fruits. Delicious.

Had some 80's bottles, this expressed more fruit, the acidity was unexpected, we were really expecting a bottle at the end of its life, honestly had 5-8 years left.

I had 65 (mag), 66 & 67 Latour with their Director Frederic at Lion d' Or in Bordeaux in 2014. The acid in all of those were good. 66...a very good acid year in Bordeaux.

Glad to read... Really wishing we had more than one bottle on this, but intend to seek out more, older and younger (close to '70, we have plenty north of there).

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 904 Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 1998

Excellent bottle. The 01 is supposedly a better vintage but im not sure when it comes to this producer. Clear, day bright, garnet and orange brick like color, medium - concentration, orange/peach rim variation, slight sediment, low viscosity. Nose: sound, moderate intensity, stewed cherries/strawberries/raspberries, floral, spicy and lots of dill pickle and slight game. A mushroom note as well. Palate: dry, med- body, stewed plums over ripe cherries/strawberries, lilies, dill, vinegar, leather, button mushrooms, game, mulch with some cedar and coconut. Very complex. Med- tannins, medium alcohol, high acid, long finish. Between the 01 and the 98 its a tough choice of which one to put in the wine cooler to store. — 12 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2013

Decanted for around an hour, the recently released 2013 Grand Vin from Chateau Musar is an enormous wine at present in its youth. Gradually, it opened into a gorgeous, exotic and utterly unique product of this unlikely corner of the wine world. There’s plenty of Bordeaux-like character in the form of dark fruit and cigar box, but there are notes too of cranberry, liquorice, clove, mandarin and five spice. The mouthfeel, as a whole, has a quasi Brunello quality to it, with its bright cherry fruit and mouthwatering acidity. But woe is anyone to compare this wine to any other, for it is incomparable. One of Serge Hochar’s last vintages before his passing in 2014, and one that will doubtless have a long life. — 5 years ago

Dark ruby, bright, doesn’t look it’s age. Awesome funky old Cal Cab nose. Notes of cherry, cranberry sauce, dirt and some balsa wood. Some steminess. Great perfume. Nice in the mouth but missing just a little bit in the mid palate. Really enjoyed this. — 8 years ago
