Another killer Wednesday Wine Committee lineup. As always, 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind.

I guessed mid-80s Bordeaux. This was so youthful! Surprised all of us. 49yrs young and doing just fine. Great color...garnet core. Plenty of cranberry, old black cherry and new saddle leather. Definitely some herbal/mushroom characteristics on the palate but they are surrounded by more red fruit and underbrush at the finish. Structure is still very solid! Just incredible wine can taste like this at this age. — 7 years ago

Smells of an old Tobacco factory after a rainstorm.

Gentle and precise, a flash of bright fruit, Then a touch of saline, a hint of garden vegetable, well rounded acids and and and exhale of vanilla tannins. — 8 years ago

Great weight, full GV with plenty of secondaries balanced by juicy fruits. Orange peel, peach, talcum, white pepper, flour, rocks. Finish just lingers around enticing another sip. Fun! — 10 years ago

Was everything I expected and then some... Expected the elegance, the graphite, the earthiness, the black fruits, the finish (oh, the finish). But did not expect the 21 year old wine to still be so tight right out of the bottle. A 1 hour decanting improved this wine tremendously. Drank May 2016. — 10 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

Coravin with lowest expectations was the highlight after 1 hr glass decant. Dense, full-bodied, dominated by sweet oak and cedar. Creme de cassis and Asian spice. Far better than expected. - Robbie’s, London — 9 years ago
