Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

The color and nose tells you nothing about the age of this wine. Incredibly fresh and youthful on both scores. My nasal passage was flooded with violets and cassis. The flood gates collapsed and my mouth was coated with black currants, licorice and minerals. Paved over my palate like a run away steamroller. Merely a teenager at this stage of evolution. I can only imagine what Father Time will create. If this is your birth year it will be a challenge to out live this wine. — 10 years ago

Great notes, @Ira Schwartz Surprised in how youthful this is still showing.

Great note, Ira. Get your hands on a well stored bottle of the '85 for a totally different but equally true expression of Margaux. Velvet to this one's steamroller.

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2010

Tart cherries, smokey, and really high acid upon opening. Need to give this some time before final conclusion. But a lot to like here. I can see this could easily age for a long time. After a few hours, still quite bright and tart. But has a softer feel. Quite delicious. — 9 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1996

1996 In a perfect drinking zone. Still good color, complex fruit with a bit of leather. As close to Bordeaux as Napa can get. Aged ribeye and aged cab is a beautiful thing. — 10 years ago

Enderle & Moll

Liaison Pinot Noir 2013

Early nose was austere, even a bit severe, then giving way to sticks and leaves and wet earth - like walking through the woods early in the morning. Light to medium in body. Stones and mushrooms and earth and sweet red fruit - all you can want in a Pinot Noir. I really like this wine. — 9 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

My kind of wine, a lot of meats and dark fruit. Mainly wood and meats in it. I can't have enough of this amazing wine though it can wait for a bit longer for a better opening. — 11 years ago

Vega Sicilia Unico '83. Showing some warm fruits, beginning of tertiary character. Quite complex, but can definitely improve with more bottle age. — 12 years ago
