Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1949

A treat. Dark in color, slightly cloudy. A powerful nose with dark, very mouton fruit. Incredibly aromatic, blackcurrant, mint,graphite, dried herbs, eucalyptus. The palate is extraordinary. So dense and powerful for a wine of almost 70 years. Dark fruit with a savory undertow- leather, thyme, sour cherry, dark chocolate. Really precise flavors and long. After an hour or two in glass there’s notes of coconut and soft wood. Extraordinary. Clearly there’s a lot of age on this but the sheer quality makes for a really dynamic wine. An exceptional bottle, and a teal treat. — 8 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Very young - this is wine for the cellar. Dark spice, hints of green herbs. The nose is like walking into a Chinese herb shop. Crushed chalk. Plum skins. Texture is very smooth with deep hints of baking chocolate dusting. This is quite the thoroughbred Cabernet: Elegant, Pure, Pristine, and Powerful. $175 at winery. — 11 years ago

Don Melchor Puente Alto Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Variety of aromas that include black fruits, olive, and tobacco. In the mouth this Chilean Cab is ripe, tannic, and fun. Flavors include raspberry, herbs from the kitchen, chocolate, and spiced. The finish is firm and long. This wine is enormously endowed. — 11 years ago

Penfolds

Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz 2002

Muted nose until about 30 mins in decanter when it started showing aromas of dark chocolate, blackberry and at 16 years a leathery note. On the palate there is sweet blackberry fruit and some aniseed notes Even though from a cooler vintage this is a muscular Wine. Perfect balance between the fruit and the oak with the Fruit gaining the ascendancy. Another 5 to 10 years of cellaring easily achievable. — 8 years ago

This absolutely has to be the best Cab Sauv I've ever had!!!! I love a great fruit forward red. It's a smidge dry to me but 14.3 % ABV makes up for that. I'm currently pairing with some General Tso's and I'm in love!!!!! 💓 — 8 years ago
