Felt lucky to find this youthful and robust bottle. Extremely tight and backwards but revealing of what grace lies ahead. Some castelvetrano olives, Comte and rustic baguette helped tease out the beauty from this beast. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

This was Decanter's 2013 Wine of the Year. Came across it fairly hidden at a local wine shop in town and got it for $40. Figured why not!

At 16yrs old, the color is still extremely ruby shaded. Don't really see any bricking around the edges. Floral nose of cherries, and a dirty/dusty element to it. Fairly thin at the front of the palate, but it has a nice weight in the middle and the finish is holding strong. Black peppercorn, faint leather taste and a rush of tart cherries. Reminds me of a 5-7yr old Sonoma Pinot. This is still "juicy", which to me is less in your face than "jammy". Fruit is giving way to secondary notes. Not WOTY for me, but for $40, a nice find.

Update: Much better after 45mins as well as at cellar temp.

I've had Faustino for years. Big Basque community in Boise.$40 a bottle? Yikes add some coke and ice.

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1994

Dark reddish tawny. Herbal nose. Heavy tobacco leaf, black cherries, cedar, smoke, plums, and cut Cuban cigar. Angular in the mouth. Needed five hours to find its groove. Big and powerful wine, paired perfectly with smoked prime rib. — 5 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Big Opus One fan. So far I find most ‘07’s to not be as great as the wine reviewers predicted. Still very good though. — 7 years ago

Seems like the wine reviewers thought 2007 was supposed to be a fantastic vintage. I’m not finding that with some of the usual wines I drink. The 2007’s aren’t living up to the hype the (originally anyway) received. The opposite for me is the ‘11’s. Not rated well in general, but I’ve had some 11’s that I preferred over many other vintages from the same producer. Maybe I need to have the ‘11 Opus One and compare.

The 07 was my favorite, probably because it was the least Bordeauxish Opus I’ve had, not into those Dominus styled wines.

Maybe that’s why. I like the Bordeauxish Opus style. Even though I drink mostly CA cabs, I prefer the old world blends.
