1985 Gaja Costa Russi Barbaresco. Dinner at Ner w D&M H. Fully mature, ready to drink, still tons of fruit. Nice balance between fruit and minerality; lots of terroir and soil. Classic Barbaresco. Still full bodied. Loved it. Note: should have decanted longer- we only decanted right before serving. — 8 years ago
1998 Penfolds Grange. Drank at dinner w D&M H at B Merc. This wine was still enormous and complexity was amazing. Dark fruit, gamey meat, earthiness, and coffee. Great wine. — 9 years ago

This is my favorite wine right now. Fruity nose dominated by black currant and boysenberry. Moderately dry and smooth with a touch of fuzzy tannins (that add a little structure) and gentle oak. Flavors of black tea, currant with a slight peppery and tannic finish. Moderately full-bodied. A pleasure to drink. — 11 years ago

Vintage matters with this one. One of my favorite cabs. 2012 is best. 2011 is good. I didn't much like any other vintage yet. Nice Oak taste. Barrel aged. — 10 years ago

1985 Giacomo Conterno Monfortino Riserva Barolo. Dinner at Ner w D&M H. Very raisiny and sweet from the get-go, despite decanting for over an hour. Fully mature, very sweet- definitely a very specific taste that you have to be ready for. Distinctive sweet flavor. — 8 years ago
