Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2007

Why did I pass on '07s? Big mistake on my part. This is really good, and it just goes to show: buy great producers in every vintage. — 12 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1983

Wow! We did not decant this wine....a big mistake. Powerful tannins will keep this wine alive for many years. I would love to try it again in 2022. Strong earth tones with a hint of Tobacco and leather. Beautifully complex finish — 14 years ago

Egon Müller

Scharzhofberger Kabinett Riesling

Heavenly! Crushed rock, citrus, white flowers, hint of petrol. I can't stop putting my nose in the glass. Bright, juicy red apple and melon flavors. Medium bottle with sugar kept in check by brilliant acidity. Finish sails on for a minute plus. Truly one of the best! — 11 years ago
