OK, I’m in. This English sparkling wine thing is legit. Fresh, crisp and nicely balanced toasty biscuit character. — 5 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1961

Another beautiful btl that shows no signs of slowing down. This was exotic & rich showing cherry, plum fruits, cassis, violets, truffle, fruit cake spice & tobacco. Everyone’s favorite of the Bordeaux flight. — 5 years ago

Exquisite nose! Just keeps on giving...I would wear it as a perfume if I could! It's slightly sharper on the tongue than great pinots are. If it wasn't a screw cap it would be a good candidate for laying down a few bottles, no? — 9 years ago

Larkmead Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Dense red currant is ‘wrassled’ down by fennel aromas, mint and black cherry with strawberry and blackberry hidden beneath its thick canopy of fern and forrest; including moss and mushroom. Actually amazing! Not going to ever guess that this herbaceous monster with rim to rim colt density is an 11 yr old Calistoga! Meaty notes of grill and marinated fungi. Celeriac root, fennel and licorice notes define this angel with a minty coolness persisting! Blackberry and black cherry emerge in the finale to shine like young wine despite the years!#Larkmead #2007cab #Calistoga #Napa #napacab — 6 years ago

Delectable Wine
9.4

A deep, inky wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is endowed with serious depth. Here the flavors are unusually dark and intense, with plenty of blue and black stone fruits. Graphite, cloves and licorice contribute to an overall impression of gravitas. Far from an easygoing wine, the 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet needs time in bottle to truly shine. Hints of violet, lavender and plum add the final shades of nuance. All of the signatures of the vintage come through beautifully. The translucent, mineral-laced finish is especially appealing. Frankly, it's hard to put the glass down. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous) — 7 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2017

First candle lit dinner with Remi. JB and Ali got her down while Ali artfully cut and ate her steak with one hand. Also, the grill caught on fire, but JB saved the steaks at the perfect level of char. The spinach was delicious, and the dirt that Ali left on it from the farmers market will help tremendously with digestion. — 5 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1978

Both me and the girl enter our 40th year in 2018, so we are celebrating a couple of days early with the oldest champagne we've ever had. Special is an understatement. Tastes like I'm butt naked, face down in a seafood tower on the top of the Empire State Building, waiting on a helicopter to come take us to Waffle House to sober up before we get in a Ferrari to see a 35mm print of E.T. Endless thanks to @Christian Moses for this bottle. Will remember it for a long time to come. ❤🥂 Happy New Years Friends — 6 years ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2003

First time with the oddball '03 vintage. Lacking some of the standout aromatics of typical Tondonia. I wouldn't mind laying one down and see where it goes, seeing as Lopez wines defy logic, time, and space. — 7 years ago

Yes there do seem to be bubbles in it. I got fresh citrus, quince (easily confused with soap) and hints of brioche on the finish.
