Mocha, dusty cocoa, creme de cassis on the nose. Lush big super saturation. Baking spices, plum, black currant, blackberry, vanilla and charred oak on the finish. Hints of mint on this ripe luxurious wine. — 10 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1994

1994. Hard to believe it's a 1994. I'm sure I've never tasted a better 1994 from Bordeaux. Currant, cassis, some vegetal notes, leather, barnyard. Beautiful with some power. Doesn't taste to me like it is fading at all. — 11 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Wow. Blew me away. Ripe dark Jammy currant tobacco but really soft tannins. I actually picked up this bottle after someone left in the back of a cab. Win win. Let it decant for at least an hour. Totally different flavor profile — 11 years ago

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 12 years ago
