Nice golden apple hew leads to a toned down citrus nose. Honeysuckle, pear, and lemon smoother the palate. Finish is a bit tart, but seems to last indefinitely! Some seriously good juice!! — 9 years ago

La Turque Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1988

From an excellent looking bottle taken to Eleven Madison Park. Deep opaque murky and tawny red. Huge fragrant nose with notes of currant, smoked meat, iron, bacon, black fruit, soil and charred wood. There is a richness in the mouth that is hard to put words to. Long finish that got better over 5 hours of enjoyment. Amazing grape juice. — 9 years ago

Senior Faß 6 Ayler Riesling 2015

This is the gold standard by which I judge all other $25 purchases. Insurance for my rental car? Nope, a bottle of Senior, please. Pack of 24 pairs of new socks? I'll wear holes and drink this instead. Honeydew, green apples, parsley and charcoal. RS and Magic acid. Everything you've ever wanted in a juice cleanse and a cocktail all in one. — 9 years ago

Creative Block 3 Red Blend 2015

17/20 (92/100) Слегка парфюмный аромат с нотами спелых ягод черешни, ежевики, красных яблок, чёрного листового чая и шоколада. Тельное с умеренной кислотностью и мягкими, обволакивающими танинами. Ягодно-шоколадное во вкусе. Яркий новосветский стиль. — 7 years ago

Another great Classic Wine Happy Hour in the books! Always a treat to have a designated day each month where guys can pull out some unique bottles!

Thanks
@Will Adams for opening this! Gorgeous juice. A nod to how Caymus used to operate. Velvet like. Blue and blackberries, vanilla, cocoa, espresso.

This one won the award for "oldest wine drinking like the newest wine." Plus, with it being served in a N*I*C*E decanter, it made it that much better! Thank you Benjamin for bringing out that beast!

Cuvée Réserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Continuing to kick off the un-labor weekend early in the D&S Lounge.

For those of you who haven’t seen me post Kalinda, it’s a private label from K&L Wine Merchants. They buy a quality producers juice or have them make a wine for them. I don’t know who made this wine but, they are a quality Oakville producer. This bottle cost me $18.99 about eight years ago and it tastes better than some Napa Cabernets at $75 plus that I’ve had. You just have to wait on them 5-10 years. This is somewhere near its peak.

It’s a slice of blue fruit heaven. On the nose, blueberries, mulberries, olallieberries, plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, strawberries, vanilla, sweet mixed berry cola, light cinnamon, soft dark spice, limestone minerals, dry crushed rock powder, dry top soil, black cherry licorice, a waft of dry herbs with bright dark red florals and violets.

The palate is round and full. Tannins are 80% resolved. The texture is sexy. The structure, length, tension and balance are in perfect harmony, (Seals & Croft/America on the album “Horse With No Name” style). Lush, ripe; blueberries, mulberries, olallieberries, plum, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries & strawberries. Vanilla, sweet mixed berry cola, light cinnamon, clove, touch of nutmeg, soft dark spice that penetrates the palate with some heat, tarry notes, dry stems, soft leather, tobacco with ash, graphite, limestone minerals, dry crushed rock powder, dry top soil, black cherry licorice, a waft of dry herbs with bright dark red florals and violets. The acidity is like a waterfall. The long finishes (minutes) is, round, lush, balanced, elegant harmony. It’s beautifully delicious.
