Really well made, beautifully balanced and slow to reveal its depth. Disclaimer: it's hard for me to get past hints of Brett so the nose was a bit of a turn off, but it was not enough to make it difficult to enjoy. Fancy lil wine! — 9 years ago
Damn near perfection from the 2001 vintage tonight. Hard to imagine how it could get better. — 9 years ago
Dried fruits and port like aromatics. Menthol, tobacco, oak, musty, dry with acid, tannin and alcohol in perfect balance. Very complex and ready to drink now. Serve with dry herbed lamb or aged hard cheese. 75% Temp 15% Garnacho 5% Graciano 5% Mazuelo — 10 years ago
Rich, full flavour with a variety of red and black fruits. Complex and somewhat hard to discern between the flavours but still very pleasing. — 10 years ago
First time tasting Jamet. Nice deepness on this hard vintage. Hints of smoky lard, cumin and pepper with a touch of flower. Ready to drink. — 10 years ago
1985 Sassicaia. Second red wine at Redd Wood lunch w A, S, and K. This wine was perfect. Epic. We could not believe how perfect this wine was drinking. Thoroughly enjoyed it- it was enjoyable the way truffles are- hard to describe, but pleasing to all relevant senses. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
So lovely funky method traditional Chilean sidra for New Years — 10 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. — 10 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. — 10 years ago

In the tradition of ice wines and ice ciders. Slightly effervescent and pairs wonderfully with roast turkey. — 10 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. — 10 years ago
#Bordeaux at its finest takes my breath away. Too beautiful to pair with food, the 1982 #ChevalBlanc was as resplendent as its famed vintage and estate. Quite a hard act to follow. 🍷 #winetasting #StEmilion — 10 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. — 12 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. — 7 years ago
