Tasting notes from a Judgement of Paris anniversary event at Cadillac Wines tonight...
Tart, green apple, and great acidity. Very little butter, which was a refreshing take on a chard. Same recipe has been used to make this wine since the beginning. Great history.

Monte Bello Ruby Cabernet Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1978

A piece of CA history. Ruby Cabernet was bred at UC Davis, a cross between cab sauv and Carignane, typically used for jug wine, but this one was lovingly made by Paul Draper, nose a bit tired, but a lively three-dimensional palate, with refined pebbly tannins. — 12 years ago

La Braccesca (Antinori)

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend 2011

Good Stuff, a great alternative to a Chianti. A great history to the area, I like that vintners are going back to their roots and making some great wines. Cherry, plumbs, leather, a little spice, everything reallll Nice — 10 years ago

Heitz Cellar

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1969

More history than anything. The wine was pretty dead but there was just a little bit of life left. Mostly raisins but lots of dying mint, tobacco and older oak character. No tannin at all. — 10 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1978

Oh how I wish these were in my cellar! 2-1985 Romanee Conti, 1.5 liter 1978 La Tache and 2 1945 Mouton Rothschild. This was to me a once in a lifetime tasting even though I've tried the 45 and 85 many years ago. But to have a little sip back to back to back was heaven! Couldn't even tell you which was the best. It didn't matter, I was drinking history! — 13 years ago

Outstanding bottle. Fruit leather, dried black currants, still some tart plum skin and blackberry. Long finish on notes of cedar, licorice, dried tobacco and hints of dried vanilla pod. Nice bit of acid as well. 12.5 ABV. Always great to taste history like this. — 10 years ago

One of the rarest and most unique wine in the world, DOC Colares - ungrafted vines planted on the characteristic sandy soils from this region, happy to drink history - this 1931 red kept a great freshness (even better than 1969) , a very nice aged wine, and amazing price, I'm a fan of Colares 😃 — 11 years ago
