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
All I can say is one word....UNBELIEVABLE !!!! The best Cab ever. — 10 years ago
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
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
Incredibly full and balanced. Loved it. — 9 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
Smooth finish, love this addition from Mondavi. Can taste the hint of bourbon — 8 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
Drink it again — 10 years ago
A fav that I can find at most west coast whole foods — 11 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
