Last wine of the night, had set this aside then realized we had not opened it and those who stayed to the very end wanted one more glass. This really stood out or our pallets were shot (maybe a combo). Really in a nice place and no hint of green flavors that some of the 11’s are known for. A little older than what we had been drinking all night and the consensus was it was “softer”. I first stated buying these in the 2006 vintage and I’m glad I did, Aron Pott does great things with these grapes. — 9 years ago

Well received by a consensus of tasters at the Conference. Named after the ship that charted and explored the Marlborough Coast in 1827. Grapes are sourced from multiple sites in Marlborough to make this Pinot Noir. — 9 years ago

En Magnum. Good fill, but cork broke even with an ah so.. color seemed slightly orange when decanting for sediment, but two hours later it was showing a beautiful red. Both green and black pepper notes, still decent fruit, and a joy to drink and share. Consensus WOTN for most. — 10 years ago

8th wine of KWN. All secondary flavors. Bacon fat on the nose and palate. Consensus was it was from Burgundy. Fantastic. The winery is up and down - good vintages are solid; other years are not great. Wine #6. — 11 years ago

Unexpected personality! Determined and full like no rosé I ever tasted before, while still offering the complex lightness of a night of great food in Venice. Notes of roses and even sun filled liquorice pepper supports this aerial yet substantive rosé. A great summer contender when the consensus at the table can't rest on a red. — 11 years ago

The general consensus is that this was more evolved than expected of the vintage. A lot of bramble and earthiness and less pure sweet fruit than I'd like. Still a very well made wine. — 9 years ago

Blackberry jam, currant flavors, visibly aged, very dark, some light chocolate flavors. Rich like a Cabernet Sauvignon. 2007. — 9 years ago

Fourth flight. I've had many good 2011's so I don't feel I'm biased, but when compared to the rest this wine was the consensus this was the worst of the bunch. It's not a bad wine, lean, red fruits, short clipped finish. — 10 years ago

Consensus nose of the night, widely thought to be Shiraz. Sweet compote, rose candy aromatics. The kirschy fruit, silky medium-body, though good, just couldn't live up to its promise. Others rated this 1st or 2nd in the flight. — 10 years ago

I'll echo the consensus - a lovely, elegant expression of Napa terroir in a Syrah. Vanilla notes give way to spiciness - fruit is at a balanced concentration with silky tannins. Vegetal tobacco notes from stems. Wish I bought more. John is an absolute rock star. 2012 vintage — 10 years ago

My only correct guess in the blind tasting. I love this wine and really enjoyed it. The consensus at the table was good but not great. I found the fruit to lost a bit of its purity than I remember form last few bottles. — 11 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, & Norton- this "Consensus" red blend (made by wine club members @ Keswick Vineyards in Virginia is a delight. Fruit forward, it's got a lighter character to it but still has enough muscle to hold up the balance. Encor! Encor! — 12 years ago

For an older vintage, this wine was showing bright fruit and flavor. When had at dinner, a few at the table thought this particular bottle was slightly corked. However, the overall consensus declared it drinkable. Really nice and surprisingly affordable for the vintage. Chianti is making a come back! — 9 years ago

Adding my notes from an International Cabernet tasting from May 2017. A rich plush wine in the Californian style although this is from the Alexander Valley (Sonoma) 98% Cabernet Sauvignon. A lot going on on the palate with Gravel Plum and Mocha. Oak notes coming through on the palate United Cellars who conducted this tasting also showed in southern capital cities and this was the consensus winner in Melbourne and Adelaide we were told. — 9 years ago

The third of three 21-year-old single malts that we tasted at the December Old Line Scotch Club meeting. This was slightly tangy, smooth and complex. As good as it was, it was the least favorite of the three, by consensus, among the club members. #glenlivet #21 #whisky #singlemalt #oldlinescotchclub #tubbysdiner — 10 years ago

Consensus wine of the night. (Burg 6/6.) My first Bart Grand cru. This had a little bit of everything you want in a red Burgundy. Perfect balance. Spicy, lush, long, broad, detailed and refreshing. Very expressive now, and I don't think it will fade any time soon. Gorgeous wine. Thanks @Gianluct Torellix ! — 10 years ago
