Hard to find a better ambassador for 2001 Napa style. I'm not sure these wine makers ever surpassed this era ... Unfortunately a bit premium priced these days, but worth dropping some $$$ for, more than the average peer — 10 years ago

From magnum, and still a bit beefy around the middle, reflecting the vintage. Plush but with character, the perfect choice for those who generally find Beaujolais too thin. — 11 years ago

One of the best wines under $45 you can find. Incredible fruit and complexity. Rivals its flagship Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red at nearly 1/3 the price. Amazing wine. Cheers!! — 11 years ago

Stuck in between banner vintages (2000 & 2005), 2003 is a great year to find "value" in Bordeaux. With the rise of the Far East's middle class, "Super Second" classified French reds sell for over $100 per bottle. (And 2 to 3 times that for the exceptional 2009 & 2010 vintages). So for my 2013 birthday, why not open a 10 year old Paulliac? 1st, this requires patience. After decanting, the glass needs time to develop. It's been 45 min and finally starting to exhibit it's elegance. Smooth, balanced, caressing ... You can almost taste the centuries of expertise. When I started getting into drinking wine, I was vain in thinking "French wines, can they be that good?" Yes, they are but not at any price! Don't just take out a mortgage to buy anything; research and try 2nd labels of vineyards. This wine is brilliant, but I still prefer Chateau Leoville Las Cases as my favorite 2003 Bordeaux. A very happy Cheers! — 13 years ago

40th harvest. Bravo! This is a new find for me from my most favorite appellation in Central Italy. The 2012 packs everything I like about Brunello. Medium garnet color with fresh, vibrant hue of young Sangiovese. Relatively classic. Juicy with red cherry, wild strawberry, a bit of wild raspberry. It's seen quite a fair bit of new oak showing both scent and taste of baking spices, new leather, vanilla bean. Silky tannin backed up by med-plus acidity. You surely don't drink a Brunello young but this is tempting. Best around 2022-2035. 90+ — 9 years ago

Really happy to find this 1 litre for only $129 especially considering 750ml sells for $100 in the store. First time for the 2013 vintage. Very similar to 2012 and another winner for me. — 11 years ago

Lots of secondary and tertiary aromas and flavors happening in this 9-year-old wine. Tobacco and toastiness are prominent, and the fruits have started to veer into prune territory over plums. Great find for the price. — 10 years ago

An intriguing wine. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what makes this wine amazing but it has a freshness to it hard to find in many wines. An amazing wine, that comes costly, but will leave lasting memories. — 10 years ago

Surprised this wasn't more tannic - thought it was very well structured with dark jammy fruits and bell pepper on the nose (actually didn't find the pepper notes unpleasant at all, which I typically steer clear of). Black fruits, charcoal smoke, cracked black pepper all hit high with some light hints of licorice and...jalapeño? All in all a pleasant wine to pair with a homemade Beef Wellington on this anniversary year of the Judgement of Paris. — 10 years ago

Immediately in my top 5 beers. Concentration without weight or offensive intensity. So many tropical fruits, cannabis, and sage aromas bursting out of the glass! In the mouth it reminds me of all the great aspects of a Sierra Nevada pale ale turnt up. A new benchmark in balanced beer. Such a casual hurried situation to be drinking this, but nonetheless an encouragement to find more of this stuff. — 11 years ago
