Elevate Your Cellar

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2003

Had it in March 2008.
Super great. Full Dark fruit, black berry and plums, but with a bug acidic push. Fills your mouth and makes you feel like asking for more. Very minerally, liquorice and chestnut. We literally hadn't had the time to let it breath. So easy to drink.😍😍

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1967

Not every day you get to cross something off your bucket list! And for a 67 still had some lovely voloptuous dark fruit. Tannin like fine silk. I cant stop smiling. — 10 years ago

Anything '62 this mysterious wine cellar may be harboring?

There was some Ch Talbot 62 in there. Most of the bordeaux seems to range from 66-75 though. Im at 101, the big store in Delaware.

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 11 years ago

Really speechless... Just imagine the best thing ever to hit your tastebuds outside of the bedroom, pure palate ecstasy — 10 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Blackcurrant and cherry brandy nose, mouth still young with juicy tanins and vibrant density, tanins are still in your mouth after 10 seconds, as the flavours of black truffles and dried shrooms — 10 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1990

Oenomaniacs don't have pearly gates, we have Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1990. Outrageously sexy, with a celestial perfume of asian spices and underbrush and dried cherry. Eternal finish that tattoos itself on your tongue and palate. Medium to full-bodied, with startling freshness and grip for a quarter-centurion. La Tache 1990 will enthrall for another 30 to 50 years.

Take your pick, @Delectable Wine ! All were brilliant, although the younger Bourgogne and Cote Rotie took the spotlight. Brilliant wines top to bottom. — 11 years ago

Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Extremely concentrated and dense so if you're in the camp of "bigger is better" (well, then you're wrong ;-), this will be right up your alley.
Impressive for its sheer strength this should have a long life ahead and I look forward to tasting it again with 10+ years in the cellar.

Mollydooker Wines

The Boxer Shiraz 2006

Drinking a Boxer is like reconnecting with that old friend that you got into street fights with as a kid. On first glance, nothing has changed. Still fighting and swinging with black cherry and dark chocolate mixed with leather and spice, powerful punches that leave a sting. But time has mellowed you out. You are still all street at heart, rough and edgy, but now your bark is bigger than your bite. — 10 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

This 2008 was cellared for almost five years after purchased in 2012. Consumed Nov 2015, the best way to describe this delight is that "it melts in your mouth". You do not even feel it as it goes down, the taste begins with its scents as soon as it hits your palate. Delightfully fruity with cherry, blackberry and jam. — 10 years ago

Belle Glos

Clark & Telephone Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Chocolate cover strawberries... Smooth and deep w/flavor. Way over Anthony's head w/out a cigar to add tobacco and smokiness. Allow to open for 30min and the flavors will burst out of the bottle, into your glass w/delite... — 11 years ago

Grateful Dead Steal Your Face Red Blend 2012

The 2012 is Zin-like! Fruit & spice and everything nice. Fruit up front, with a lingering peppery finish. This red blend remains a great daily driver. Be careful, the 14.5% will 'steal your face' if you don't check yourself! — 11 years ago

Put this on the shelf for a few years. Great dark berry and cherry but enough tannin to ripe your face off! Splash decant if drinking young! — 11 years ago
