Riverbench Vineyard & Winery

Cork Jumper Rosé Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2011

Peach, strawberry, little bit of nuttiness, lees and citrus. Pretty wine. — 10 years ago

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

I've had many vintages of Calon-Segur; this may be the oldest. The cork was perfect even with nearly 20 years of bottle aging. It took about an hour for the glass to open. Typical of Grand Cru Bordeaux, the bouquet was pleasant and graceful. A great value for under $130. Cheers!! — 10 years ago

Thanks. I got my hands on a couple of 66s the other day with levels around the top half of the embossed brand. Don't have much experience with ullage in this bottle shape so that's reassuring to hear!

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 10 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1998

Heavy yeasty autolytic notes on nose & palate. Developed stone fruit, approachable acidity. As it sat in glass & warmed a touch of cork came through on the nose. Must drink faster :) — 10 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Cork was crumbly. Slightly past it's prime, but not corked. Soft and lovely and supremely balanced! — 12 years ago
