My favorite bordeaux region and it delivers. Black cherry popping out. Celebration is a good thing. — 11 years ago
Sweet Jesus! Stewed cherry, cassis, smoked charcuterie, leather, with a brooding plum/almost raisin note running under the whole thing. Worth the splurge! — 12 years ago
It is my first day on this app, so I decided to rate this old bottle of wine I had two years ago with Florence. As it is profiled, 1949 is a great vintage and this particular bottle proved it is quite right, even though the bottle had a below shoulder fill. Brownish red color, silky, perfectly balanced, great long finish. Also, since 1949 is the year when People's Republic of China was founded, it added some emotional thing to the taste as well😋 — 11 years ago
Tasted blind, the first thing that struck me on the nose was the amount of forest floor and pine.
Filled the mouth with concentrated fruit , some pepper and very smooth tannins. — 12 years ago
Everyone talks about 2007, but don't sleep on the 2008. I prefer it today and thing it will outpace the 07 over time. — 13 years ago

Great wine makes me happy, and a little extra happiness is a very good thing right now. — 14 years ago

1996 In a perfect drinking zone. Still good color, complex fruit with a bit of leather. As close to Bordeaux as Napa can get. Aged ribeye and aged cab is a beautiful thing. — 11 years ago
