Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1978

Second bottle of 78 I've had this year. The fruit is still present but soft, this wine has surprisingly held up beautifully and is drinking very well. — 11 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

The oak has subsided since the last time I've opened a bottle. Black current and blackberry blend well through a nice finish with integrated tannins. — 12 years ago

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1994

So much fresh fruit and grippy tannins there, after 18 years. Youthful and I would give it more time in the bottle, there is enough of everything to allow it even more complexity. — 10 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

Ex-Chateau bottle. Testament to perfect storage. Light Amber edge with a darker core. Started off full of toast and just a whiff of brett. Slow ox for 2 hrs then poured. Amazing life for a 54yr old wine still in its stride. Light and dark fruit with seamless integrity and polish. Classic old BDX. After the initial funk blew off it kept developing in the glass. I could drink this all night long. Awesome — 11 years ago
