Now I see how this wine can be so divisive. LOTS of brett at first, more band-aid than barnyard. Takes a while to get past it and then lots of exotic spices show up. But after 40 minutes in the glass still nothing primary. It’s got the funk I can appreciate in some good left bank Bordeaux but also feels somewhat single-threaded. — 4 years ago

Had two bottles of these to serve at a dinner for my daughter’s 21st birthday. They were wonderful wines, still lively and with plenty of full mouth for its 21 year age. But it also had that long finish of earth and dark cherry pit that well aged Bordeaux can have. It was enjoyed by all present. — 6 years ago

At thirty clams retail this is just crazy good and regionally true Rioja. Get all you can. — 8 years ago

Dense and concentrated – and inky/purple color with aromas and flavors of cream, BlackBerries, charcoal, coffee and licorice. Amazingly full-bodied with velvety tannins and an amazing appeal – gorgeous and well proportioned. Can drink for two more decades but couldn't resist! Merry Christmas everyone! — 8 years ago

Looks older than it actually is with its slightly tawny colour. Beautiful on the nose with a bouquet of crushed berries and Earth. Medium bodied with well-integrated tannins, but the finish can be longer. — 9 years ago

04' this wine is structured so beautifully. Proof a great winemaker/winery can produce great wines...in not so great years. The fruit & acidity are still there. It has many years in front of it. Cheers! — 10 years ago

A big bold plumy purple bomb As dense and luscious as a wine can get in a glass. Decanted for 2 hrs and its still a baby with blackberry, dark chocolate licorice and pepper on the nose and on the palate. A long long finish and loads of tannins to sum it all up — 6 years ago

Dark purple plum skin color from center to the rim’s edge where some scarlet also appears. Opaque. Great fruit forward nose that grabs your attention. Notes of blackberries, ripe plums, violets, tobacco, forest floor and some crushed walnuts. Rich and silky in the mouth. Great balance and texture. Tannins perfectly integrated. Long finish. If a Cal Cab can be seductive, this is it. Still youthful but in a great zone tonight. — 7 years ago

Perfect with the Hake I was eating simply prepared. Crisp, light but could use a little more time in the bottle. — 8 years ago

Dark ruby. Nose of plums, earth, herbs and brush. With air the wine got better in the mouth and had a finish that grew with each sip. Can get better with some additional age. Give it lots of air. — 8 years ago

Outstanding! There is the perfect moment for a bottle to be opened and tonight was it. It was the wine equivalent of a album that you can listen to from start to finish. — 9 years ago

9.2

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago

Dark berry everything, licorice, and earthy aromas. Nice body and smooth as can be. You won’t be disappointed with this very nice Bordeaux from St. Julien. Glad I have a few more bottles to let age. — 4 years ago

The total package, just about everything you can ask from a wine. Length, complexity, total harmony of flavors. Probably more elegant and silky in 5-10 years. — 5 years ago

Amazing this can still be so intriguing. Fruit has long disappeared but spiced, herbal aromas jump out of the glass. American oak finds its subtle elegance. Yum! — 7 years ago

A nice debut for my case of 2011. This is in a happy drinking place for sure. No fireworks, but a great example of an approachable Nebbiolo that you can drink during summer! — 8 years ago

It is only through benevolent souls and their ability to share something so fine and rare that I would be able to taste and review an '89 Chateau Morgaux.
This vintage was awarded 100 points by wine spectator. Unbelievable concentration and complexity which only under the best conditions can deliver so smooth and long lasting an impression. This is a wine I will always remember. — 8 years ago

Funky at first but subsequently blown away. Fresh, leathery, flowery, with some structure. Can tell it was once a great bottling. A bit long over due. — 8 years ago

I was disappointed with my last Caymus Special Selection vintage, but this beauty brought me back to a bottle that won Wine Spectator's #1 Wine of the Year ... Twice!! Incredible fruit and balance. This can be cellared and enjoyed for years to come. Cheers!! — 10 years ago

Vega Sicilia Unico '83. Showing some warm fruits, beginning of tertiary character. Quite complex, but can definitely improve with more bottle age. — 11 years ago
