Clafeld Fruit Winery

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2019

Heavenly, fruit aroma, and smooth palate- very fruit forward, lower acidity and tannins, but balanced. Delicious! — 9 months ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1967

Decanted and really opened up in little more than half an hour. 54 years and still has vitality. There’s still some fruit but it is mixed with subtle acidity and soft tannins. A delight to drink and share with friends. Our friend was given the wine and wanted to share it. We all were quite happy.👍🍷🍷 — 5 years ago

2011- gift from a friend. Excellent structure, tannins are very mellow but alcohol is still very hot. Fruit forward, possibly oxidized fruit (port-like fruit). — 11 years ago

So silky, pepper and herbs balance the glou glou of the fruit and refined gentle but present tannins — 10 months ago

I haven’t opened this since 2021, but your note gives me a sense I should soon.

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1978

Amazing this can still be so intriguing. Fruit has long disappeared but spiced, herbal aromas jump out of the glass. American oak finds its subtle elegance. Yum! — 8 years ago

Spottswoode

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

A touch of brett added intrigue without needing to dump the bottle. Otherwise the wine shows like many Bordeaux. Albeit with napa fruit. — 10 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

1984, surprisingly tanic, acidic, and Heavy dried fruit, prunes and dried figs. over oxidized tasting at first but interesting. From producer to cellar at breakers in palm beach. Small leak out the bottle on one side of the cork. Over time it settles and the dried fruit subsides and then the lighter acidic flavors of fresh berries comes forward. — 4 years ago
