Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2015

In the name of research, a quick test to mark this young Super Tuscsan. I must say the first sip after decant is promising. I believe in time, this will be a great Tig that will show well. Nice dark currant with hint of smoke. Will lay the others down 5-7 more years. — 7 years ago

2010. Not a lot of notes from me in the long tasting. It was up against 07 Pegau which I could put down. Very enjoyable though. — 11 years ago

Cristal Brut Champagne 1996

This was great, though someone forgot to put it on ice and then put ice cubes in it to cool it down! Arrggg. Still tastes great though. Oh and half the bottle is left and it was left out overnight. Never buying anything this nice again. — 12 years ago

6 Champagne lovers each brought one bottle of Salon to dinner to share with the group. Sadly the 1982 Salon seemed to have storage issues. Happily the back-up was 2000 Krug Clos du Mesnil, which bested all the Salons for wine of the night!

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1999

I truly am not a silver oak Fan but their old stuff has some Kung pow to it. It actually evolved after being opened in the glass for an hour. I prefer it to a new vintage hands down, no questions asked. This actually surprised me and is definitely the WOTN between these two. Truly, truly surprised me. Can’t go wrong for this price point! I found this one for sale for 80 bucks. Winner, winner chicken dinner in my book! — 8 years ago

Awesome. Totally agree @Martin G Rivard the old stuff was blue chip. Lost their way over time. 1999 is my favorite 90s vintage. Still have a bunch in the cellar.

Mmmm this was very good. Good fruit concentration with an aroma right down my alley - dry fruit, smokey, earthy, earl grey and a little nutmeg. Full body, high tannins and a long finish, of course, for a Nebb ;) — 9 years ago
