12 year old wine on our 4th year anniversary. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I'm sure the best has yet to come. Never been happier.

BEST WINE SO FAR 2/12/16 — 10 years ago
By far my favorite wine! Bright cherries delicious! — 10 years ago
I'm going to come clean, I'm not a huge Caymus fan. It's by no means a bad wine - far from it - but I've always felt they blend their Cab with too much Zin. I could be wrong on that account, but I don't think I am. Still, a nice brooding nose of dark red and blue fruit, with a touch of candied fruit and wet earth. — 10 years ago
2011 drinking very nicely, albeit far too early for BP — 11 years ago
Far niente is very bold nickel and nickel is smooth and silver oak is perfect haha — 11 years ago
I love it because its juicy and easy to swallow. No bite, just pleasant. So far this is my favorite. — 9 years ago
Glad it was opened a day prior - but far to young — 9 years ago
Pinot with a punch. In my view one of the finest California Pinots by far. — 10 years ago
My favorite one so far❤️ — 10 years ago
Nice Rutherford Cab from the people of Far Niente and Nickel & Nickel. Rich dark fruit and lingering silky tannins. — 10 years ago
So much 🐴🍂✏️🚬 ! Nice to have an "off vintage" in pristine condition. Far from a blockbuster but delicious, soft, and very easy to drink. #birthyear — 11 years ago
Very smooth. This is by far the best Pinots I've ever had. — 11 years ago
One of the best I've had so far, smooth, full bodied, an favorite. — 9 years ago
Chateau Latour is my favorite 1st Growth, they demand patience and inspire not just hedonistic pleasure but also analytical thought.
Both amazing but need massive amounts of air or another 15-20 years minimum in the cellar. I get the feeling they both will hit a plateau once they blossom and slowly move towards full maturity for decades.
The nose on the 2005 rose with little agitation and shot from the hip to nose with ease. By far the most youthful and I tense nose of the evening.
The 2000 was not dissimilar in its progression, if a bit more refined from the extra few years in the glass. A cerebral wine that was also deeply pleasurable, it kept bringing me to what this wine will be like in 15-20 or more years. Easily a 50 years wine from a macro view.

I'm told this is from the guys who make Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel. It's the essence of pure apricot in a bottle, but lively, bathed in the honey part of honeydew melon. Lighter on its feet than it has any right to be. Outstanding. Thanks, Ronnie! — 10 years ago
Dark ruby /purple in color with a purple rim.
Meduim to full bodied with gorgeous legs.
Beautiful on the nose with blueberries, blackberries, cherries, nutmeg, vanilla, white pepper and candy.
Smooth on palate with blackberries, dark currants, plums, raisins, oak ,vanilla, cola chocolate and black pepper.
Dry finish with dark berries, peppercorn and voluptuous tannins.
What a wonderful wine. Very recommended. The best Australian Shiraz I had so far.
Can be had by itself or with grilled meats.
This Shiraz spent 12 months in American oak barrels and aged beautifully.

83 vintage was showing strong tannin still... Lovely wine, everything there but definitely in to secondary flavour characteristics. Even this far back Pontet-Canet was punching above it's 5th growth status. #mtlwinethrowdown — 11 years ago
Bought a case originally at $22/bottle. Still have 5 left. Knock on wood, not a bad bottle so far! — 13 years ago
