Excellent, bold new world take on a traditional CDR. Tobacco and raisins. Maybe cinnamon or cardamom. But more fruit forward with jammy dark berries. Tangy. — 8 years ago
Love it. This 2008 worked well last night. Crowd pleaser — 9 years ago
Wine of the night. This wine had EXCELLENT fruit, and showed NO VISIBLE SIGNS of decline. Great powerful blackberry. I was guessing 01 Stag's Leap or Rutherford. Turns out it was Caymus SS 01, but I was second guessing myself on the year because it was a very purple color into the decanter and showing well. The wine had great vanilla on the front, blackberry on the front, and a more youthful middle and finish with some herb. This wine has 10 years left in it no doubt. Whoever cut this one off at 2017 has no idea. This one literally showed no signs of decline whatsoever. Drink by date 2007 - 2030. — 9 years ago
Damn. Memories of date night oh so long ago. Still a mere baby. I've another bottle in storage, perhaps soon. Muscular, still overly (to me) tannic, acidity still high. But still. Can't believe what this costs now. Yikes. — 9 years ago

Really enjoyed a bottle at the Ore House in Durango. Sunday being 1/2 price bottle night made it all the more enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Jordan is always good... Thinking it would have been better with a steak than the Chicken Parm at Runway 84... Thank you Ralph and the crew from Las Olas... What is better than Thursday night at this place... The chick from Mob wives by the bar taking pics... Chicken Parm and a good Cab... Ahh.... Youth is waisted on the young!!! — 12 years ago
Florally silky delight! Best wine of the night. — 13 years ago
Fortunate enough to have tasted this along with 6 other stunning wines last night during a cellar tasting. This 36 year old 2nd growth was nearly perfect, unusual but very pleasant mint, camphor, crushed sage and rosemary aromas with the same cooling delicate herbal initial palate. Dried but expressive red fruits mid- palate with a great structural graphite element throughout. Whiff of new leather. Changed in the glass showing different mellow facets. Pretty much intercepted at the exact right time. A real privilege to taste such a renowned vintage with folks who appreciates what was in front of them. — 7 years ago
Magnum 1985 Jean Louis Chave Hermitage Rhone. Dinner at T w neighbors. Only Syrah of the night. No decanting, poured straight from the bottle, right after opening. Excellent. It was perfect right out of the bottle. Understandably got flat after sitting in the glass a few hours. Perfect with the lentil soup we started with. — 9 years ago

Date night with Cinnamon and steak & claret!!!! I bought this bottle on prearrival and tonight was a great night to open it. The wine had it all; animal earth, rich silky texture and no heaviness whatsoever. Paired with chef Marco's 16oz. Piemontese ribeye steak it was a great experience. — 11 years ago


1948 Cheval Blanc going to be a great night. — 12 years ago
What a find on half price wine night! Such a deal, especially with so much bottle age! — 7 years ago

So many wines over the last 48 hours, it's hard to know where to begin. This is definitely a good spot, I assume! Tasted out of mag, this was singing! The 1990 slightly eclipsed this (tasted the night prior) however this was one of my top 5 for the evening. Thanks @Jeffrey Lew for sharing! — 9 years ago

This was the winemakers favorite year, even though the 09 got 💯. And oh my was this a special experience. Just kept getting better as the night wore on. — 7 years ago
