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

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 1998

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

@Mike Saviage I wish I could could comment the same about this as I did the T-L. Unfortunately every bottle of this vintage has disappointed me.

I agree. This vintage for me represents a style change I'm not fond of, especially when compared to benchmarks like the 89 and 90.

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

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

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

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

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

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.

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

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

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

Château Pichon-Longueville Baron

Baron de Pichon-Longueville Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

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

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1998

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

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

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
