Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Richebourg Pinot Noir 1996

nothing better than a lil' red #wine with yer pasta. Intense, beautiful nose of red fruit and beetroot, joined by a touch of smoke. A powerful, balanced, near full-bodied Pinot which will improve for decades. — 10 years ago

Diamond Creek Vineyards

Volcanic Hill Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

My favorite from Diamond Creek. The black volcanic soil and southern slope givea this wine a great depth, black pepper on the nose, dark fruits and smooth finish. Could cellar for decades, due to the complex structure. — 11 years ago

Decades 5

Stagecoach Vineyard Petit Verdot 2010

Oh wow. Comes off like a comic book version of a napa cab. Just dump trucks of pitch black fruit. Finish is lighter and tannins are less grippy than its cabby cousins but this is so bloody delicious I can't stand it. — 13 years ago

Château Léoville Poyferré

Saint Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Scorewine
9.0

A lovely performer in the problematic 2012 vintage, this Saint Julien blend of 65% CS, 32% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot, has a deep purple color, a tempting compressed nose full of black fruits, dark cherries, black pepper, licorice, coffee and stone notes, full rich round body, with acidity that will carry this wine for a couple of decades and a long lasting finish. My score 90, drink to 2033 — 11 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Hommage à Jacques Perrin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

First time with Homage, and '94?! Beautiful wine that's still rippling with fruit at two decades young. — 12 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

Delicious now, but showing little age. Could be awesome for decades still! — 13 years ago

Cavallotto

Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

So young still. Great structure that will last decades. — 11 years ago

Corison Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

One of my all-time favorite Napa producers, Cathy Corison produces wines that are always true to her style - low alcohol wines built to last for decades. This wine is no exception, even though it's her negotiant wine, purchased from Rutherford vineyards with long-term relationships where she controls the growing decisions. — 11 years ago
