Surprisingly youthful nose of luscious rich plummy baked dark red fruits and the most etheral sous bois and pipe tobacco I've ever smelled. The palate had poise and grace in its age, everything was in fantastic balance. The tannins are shockingly fine, adding the structure that is necessary to hold everything together. Simply superb. I can only hope I show as well as this when I'm nearly 65! — 9 years ago

The best wine I've ever had. But not because it tastes better than anything I've had; because of the guys I'm sharing it with. — 11 years ago

What is this - a Sauv Blanc that's a Fume but unlike any Fume I have ever had. I can see how this wine made it to the Wine Spectators top 10 list. Complex, elegant, fresh, with fantastic acidity that left me wanting more after each sip. Amazing! — 11 years ago

Amazing specimen of Grenache. Unlike any other CDP I've ever experienced, and so youthful with 17 year of age. — 11 years ago

Bold and big. After 1985, together with 1997 and 2004 one of the greatest vintage ever.
Definitely ready to go. Magnum as its best. — 12 years ago

Powerhouse of a wine. Like a Marine ready for battle. But zen in balance. It's so smooth and the finish lasts for-ever. They don't make em' like they used to. — 9 years ago

This was a beautiful wine that kept getting better, even with the impressive talent that was arrayed alongside it. Red berries, some olives and cedar on the nose, it opens with lovely spice notes, a layered richness that became ever more evident as it opened. The Lafite elegance was on prominent display at the mid palate, the fruit at the core of this wine has lovely perfume and still luscious appeal. This impressive wine continued to gain depth and kept blossoming as the night wore on. — 10 years ago

Dark brown color. Amazing aromas and flavors of caramel, toffee, and some orange peel. Great balance with good acid lift and a long finish. What a treat! By far, the best d'Yquem I've ever tasted. — 9 years ago

Dunn Howell has never disappointed. This holds true for the new 2013. The climate that year shows through in the marked black berry fruit presence. The tannins are ever present and will help keep this beauty for 20 years to come! — 9 years ago

BEAUTIFUL color on this wine, just stunning.

The nose gives off delicate red and pink flower notes, along with cola, cedarwood and white chocolate.

This is one of the prettiest wines I've ever tasted. Pure velvet luxury on the palate with candied red cherry and balanced acidity.

Compared to the Belle Glos Dairyman pinot noir I had last month this was a good deal better. Now onto Las Alturas! — 11 years ago

I have tasted many 1961 over the years, this continues to be one of my favorite wines...The strange thing is that this bottle with its high necklinewas the youngest 1961 that I had ever tried, wine had an great Providence - One owner and one incredible cellar.

1961 was a magical year on the right bank; now over 50 years of age it has lost some weight but picked up elegance on the nose - wet clay, graphite/lead pencil, umami/truffle - nose candy for sure. — 12 years ago
