Of the 2 Bordeaux drinking the best tonight, but long term the Brane-Cantenac 2005 will outlive this wine by 10 years easy. While very complex, a fine touch a green is traceable.
A classic currant and forest floor nose, fall leaves abound with a spike of spice and a barely there green that while subtle is apparent.
The pleasure here is higher for its more mature tasted and feel, while the brawny 2005 is a better wine it was not as enjoyable to me and feel it will be another notch enter in 3 years, and likely 2 notches better in 5.
The elegance and feel on this wine is ready to go and will easily go another 5+ years. — 9 years ago

15.2% - how can you go wrong? Ha!
Not a bad wine - full bodied, on the sweeter side but not "jammy". Nice! — 11 years ago
Such a great "go to" wine. Crowd pleaser from the new wine drinker to the experienced Somm. Delish summer white! — 11 years ago
Great wine, if a port is to sweet, go with this full body, dark red wine, a hint of pepper, with a mix of Zinfandel, merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. 2016 — 7 years ago
A bit tight but still so great. Enjoyed this vintage more this go. — 7 years ago
Go with both fish and meat. Slightly fizzled and light initially and evolved to complex with depth. — 8 years ago
I love how in Spain you can go to a restaurant order a half bottle of Rioja and a 14 year old wine comes out aged perfectly. This is drinking great right now and can't imagine it's going to get any better. — 9 years ago
Open ready to go and in a nice spot. — 9 years ago
Don't usually go for Italian wines but this was delicious. Exactly what the night called for. Big with plenty of fruit. — 10 years ago
For $10, I use this as our go-to every day wine and for big parties. All my guests love it and think it's a $20-$30 bottle — 10 years ago
Shit picture. Great wine. Krug has long been one of my favorite '96s. Searing acid structure, but there's enough body, fruit and now secondary savories around it to keep it all together. Drinking now, but will go forever. A total skyscraper of a wine. — 10 years ago
Go Spurs Go!
Showing age very well. Not a young tight lemon bomb by any means. — 11 years ago

When we open from 1987, we expect everything. One thinks of its conservation in cellar, the risk that it is passed or incredible, with the tannins having evolved in this vial ... The cork pulled-out, in perfect state and one knows in advance that one hit the jackpot and that it will be phenomenal. A coppery robe, a complex nose with aromas of black and floral fruits. In the mouth, an explosion of flavors that take the length and makes us go back in time. A very large estate for an incredible wine, to fall 😍🍷 — 7 years ago
Final night of the cruise.....night ten coming to a close so we decided to go with another Special Selection.
Deep and dark purplish ruby red, completely coats the glass. Plump and rich aromas on the nose with blueberries, vanilla, cinnamon, blackberries and even some purple flowers. Rounded and integrated heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Love the blue and black fruits on the palate of this wine. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2032. — 8 years ago
Super fun wine to get us ready for the Bordeaux Masters Class this afternoon.
Medium garnet core with bricking in the edges. Layered nose with some definite bret, not off putting at all. Notes of barnyard, leather and dried red cherries. Well integrated and balanced. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Very rustic on the palate with some dried red cherries, forest floor and cedar. Long finish. Enough finesse to go another year or two but why wait, drinking well right now. Drink till 2019. — 8 years ago
Has held up quite nicely considering sir Parker's initial 86 rating. Great earthiness, black fruit, tobacco and spice and completely smooth and lacking any tannins whatsoever. Was go time 5 years ago but still held up quite nicely - Carl's place 06-02-16 — 9 years ago
Yum yum yum. Perfect easy drinking - balanced juicy and dry. Definitely a go to! — 10 years ago
Love this wine. It's one of my go to's — 10 years ago
This is my go to prosecco. Price is affordable and it's not to sweet or overwhelming on the palate. Very crisp and pleasant is great by itself or for a mimosa. — 10 years ago
