Interesting comparison between the Fulldraw and Tynan wine. Both were opened about 2hrs. The flavor profile is somewhat similar between the two, showing chocolate and dark blue fruit for the Tynan and red fruit for the Fulldraw. Great spice and pepper with each. The main difference is with the tannins and finish. The tannins on the Tynan are fairly noticeable (in addition to some heat) while the Hard Point’s are already integrated. The finish on the Hard Point is incredibly long and luxurious. @Connor McMahon exceptional wine — 6 years ago

Going back a little... 41 years. This was like drinking two different bottles. I have learned in these old bottles patience is rewarded..... And rewarded well. Popped at 330pm. 430pm this was very tannic, hard and attenuated. Wonderful nose but austere. 630, warmed up to room temp and fruit was showing very nice. Softer profile but still some what reticent . 830pm... Totally different wine. Full of fruit and charcoal and tobacco. Amazing. This might just last forever but if you have some time pop a bottle and see what's there. Latour never fails. If you want a perfect example of old BDX this is it. Wonderful. — 8 years ago

My favorite cider. A sweeter cider but well balanced and slightly spicy for an overall great flavor profile. Their Saskatoon cider is great if you are looking for something a little sweeter and more unusual. — 9 years ago

I read on Delectable that this Pinot is a Cab lover's Pinot and she was right. I usually pass on Pinot because a good one is so hard for me to find. But this one is really, really good. I've had the Belle Glos from Meiomi, which I've liked as well, but this is equally as good. Great spice along with the fruit. Found this on sale on Cape Cod for $17 - a bargain for wine that drinks like this. — 9 years ago

All upfront. No finish. Big bold dark fruit. A small hint of cherries. As it opens up., there is more of a dry finish. — 6 years ago

If you enjoy a dry cider this is one to try. Ever so slightly hoppy, in a refreshing way. A great can of apple juice for a train ride from San Francisco. — 8 years ago

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 9 years ago

Beautiful and there's no Barolo like it. Pretty accessible for the first couple of hours and then it clenched down hard. The aromatics are gorgeous and there is a wonderful clarity and purity to the wine. Wine of the night. — 11 years ago

1999 DRC La Tache. Drank at dinner w P&R at Charcoal. We decanted for about an hour before dinner and then another hour at the dinner table. Ah-mazing. Perfect. Absolutely no hard edges, super silky, and complex nose. At first pour, lots of sweetness which mellowed out as we got through the bottle. Such a treat! — 8 years ago

Tasted June 20, 2015. A perfect bottle that lived up to its reputation. So hard to find one with guaranteed provenance and not a fake. From the German cellar of Armin Diel, Mahler-Besse. Almost overwhelming chocolate mint, dust, great tannic structure, cherry cola, eucalyptus bark, vanilla, unchanged in the glass for two hours. This wine will likely live another 100 years. — 8 years ago
