1985 Sassicaia. Dinner J&D B at Best. Did not decant. Drank before the ‘82 Haut Brion. Excellent. John says it is the best Sassicaia he’s had. Tons of fruit- dark berries. Really rich and round and plush. — 7 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Heavy bottle stink on pop, then decant. Couldn't really touch this for about 2.5-3 hours until the nose collected itself. Well tanned leather, moist soil and ripe cherry notes eventually evident in the nose. Mineral cherry on the palate, the bottle was really starting to sing at about 4 hours, then it was gone. Really love the Cos d' in all vintages! — 7 years ago

Yes, my buddy and I are seeking an '85... He'd had good experiences what that particular bottle in the past.

@David T @Severn Goodwin : I’m always on the hunt for ‘88s. Only had one Cos before (early 2000 vintages) so my experience is limited, but it was very good.

@Shay A This was a great bottle, but if I could land a '67 again, if buy it in a second. I'll keep a lookout for '88 also. Thanks.

1999 Screaming Eagle. Wolf w J&L B and J&J D. Such a treat. Drank this first of the reds and it was spectacular. Massive and still young, as to be expected, but still so balanced and with that wonderful mouth-coating velvety texture. Huge oak, vanilla, spice, and some acidity as well. Really complex and hard to distinguish all the different things going on. We all really, really enjoyed this wine and it was drinking wonderfully despite its youth. Thumbs up. — 9 years ago

Vilmart & Cie

Grand Cellier d'Or 1er Cru Brut Champagne Pinot Noir Chardonnay

Vilmart is one of my favorite producers and this bottle, a favorite memory, from a profoundly enjoyable luncheon at Hôtel Restaurant Les Avisés, owned by Anselme Selosse and his wife. Everything about that day was perfect, including the wine. The 2010 Cuvée Grand Cellier d' Or Brut is a sunbeam in a glass, with bubbles like seed pearls embroidered on golden-threaded brocade. Transporting aromas of lemon pudding, dewy pear, white flowers, honeycomb and dried mint lead into a wine that is as poised as it is precise. It crescendos on a spicy note that gradually subsides to a clean, lilting finish. — 9 years ago
