9.1

From magnum, and still a bit beefy around the middle, reflecting the vintage. Plush but with character, the perfect choice for those who generally find Beaujolais too thin. — 10 years ago

A bit of oxidation, but otherwise, just fine. Fruit still there. 1970, 45 year old wine for our 45th Anniversary. — 11 years ago

Aging nicely, with a Bordeaux-esque nose. A bit on the lean side with good acidity and tannin structure. #wine #tignanello — 11 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

9.8

Past its prime ? Could be. Otherwise a smooth and well rounded blend, a bit on the dry side, notes of earth and dark ripe berries. Was paired very well with a prime aged steak and truffles. — 13 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

George Chen

9.4

Neck fill and good cork. Immediate nose of cedar, anise, of course eucalyptus and even some hibiscus. It's deep in the glass and core was still tight, even bit tannic and firm acids. This vintage is drinking better now than the legendary 74's as some of that bigger vintage is falling apart. A real beauty! — 10 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Bernardo Llaguno G.

9.3

My kind of wine, a lot of meats and dark fruit. Mainly wood and meats in it. I can't have enough of this amazing wine though it can wait for a bit longer for a better opening. — 11 years ago

9.5

Another winner from Caymus! Fruit forward, huge but beautifully balanced. Nose is wonderful. Full body. Well structured. Great finish. Every bit as good as the 2012! — 11 years ago

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2005

Guy Davies

9.1

Much brighter fruit on nose than 2004. Zesty by comparison. Actually a slightly more delicate, gentle texture. Less intensity and a bit shorter on the finish. — 11 years ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1978

Thanks to a good cork, still alive, with a super bouquet, although a bit faded in the mouth. Wish I was in as good shape! — 11 years ago
