One of the better older Bordeaux I’ve had in quite some time. Absolutely at peak with so many layers. It outshined an ‘03 Grand Puy Lacoste (which showed thin), ‘03 Montelena (sadly corked), and an ‘03 BV Georges de LaTour (rich/sweet).
Absolutely on fire from pop, this 20yr old left bank Bordeaux showed none of the overripe/too hot characteristics of the vintage. Deep purple/black in the glass with no bricking. Full-bodied. Mocha, truffle, roasted blackberries and raspberries, graphite on the nose. Ripe (but not overly so) dark berries, plum, cassis with vanilla pipe tobacco and even some iron. Still a good bit of tannin on the finish. This shows as a “modern” style due to the warmth, but balanced. Wish I had more. Pop the corks and enjoy! — a year ago
It’s great to grab a wine with a little age. Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits, floral spice and cedar notes, blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged 75% on new oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, ripe plum and black cherry with cacao, tobacco, licorice and spice. Fine developed tannins, well balanced on long finish, ending with fruit, cedar and earthy spice character. Very nice, tasting great now. — 4 months ago

This is a delicious Chardonnay from Russian River Valley.
Medium plus in body and nicely balanced.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing citrus, oak, light vanilla, spices, light earth, honey, yellow apples and pears.
Long finish with limes and grapefruits.
This 5 year old Chardonnay is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice balance with a soft mouthfeel.
Easy drinking and good right out of the bottle. Drinking at its peak.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 3 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine. Paired nicely with hard cheddar cheese.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
