Opus One
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2003
Heitz Cellar
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1992
Cork disintegrated upon opening, but the wine is remarkably lively and elegant. Past its peak, but is doing extremely well after 23 years. I well remember buying this bottle with McCusker upon his recommendation when I first moved to Berkeley. Thanks Jim for almost 20 years of invaluable wine advice. And happy 50th, you ancient motherfucker. — 11 years ago

Château Montrose
Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1989
We went 2/2 tonight. This bottle was a testament to perfect storage. Cork was perfect, and the wine was dark ruby with ever so slight bricking at the rim. Awesome. More approachable than the 90 and makes you wanna curl up with it for a long time. Better than the bottle I had at the Montrose vertical a month ago. Blind I would guess 10 yrs newer. For this price point and quality it's a must add. Edged out the Margaux. — 12 years ago

My love for Krug knows no bounds. Bready, yeasty notes jump out of the glass towards you but quickly soften into those of honey butter. Ginger and spice notes. Lees driven but well integrated with medium high acid. This champagne is so complex that it's almost impossible to truly detect where one note of flavor ends and the other begins. — 11 years ago
