Honey and melon and mint undertones. Unusual d'Yquem - missing the smooth creaminess I am accustomed to. Great but different. — 11 years ago
A wine experience of a lifetime, we we enjoying a meal in Bordeaux Centre when our hosts poured this wine blind for us. They ask me to guess what it was. Since this was a long dinner, I had plenty of time. But I worked quickly and guessed Château Margaux. Why? I am not sure, but I went on and said that this wine was either the 1983 or 1986. I had no prompts; I didn't even know that it came out of our hosts cellar. It may have been on the wine list, I never even looked. I just broke down the wines elegance, excellent structure and softened tannins. Now before we get too excited here. I could have been a million miles away with my guess, but it wouldn't have matter. Right or wrong, close or far away, this is always a good exercise for those serious about be a well trained wine taster. The hosts and present company were actually amazed. One is never really wrong with their guesses, though to nail a wine out of the blue was really cool!😏#bordeaux #margaux #chateaumargaux #guessthiswine — 12 years ago
Very well crafted Pinot. Nice fruit but does not over power the earth tones. I am becoming a real fan of Hirsch Pinots. Time to get on the mailing list. — 11 years ago

Velvety smooth. Paired really well with the beanie weenies I made for my anniversary dinner. — 12 years ago

I must admit I am a PR addict and long standing club member BUT...we ordered this with dinner tonight and were pleasantly reminded of the bright citrus notes with a hint of sweet - perfect with spicy crab po'boys — 11 years ago
I paid $20 for this bottle at an auction. I opened this bottle in 7/6/13 and it still has the classic st julien aroma. It has the structure and is a well balanced wine. I am very impressed by how well it holds up for 16 yrs. — 12 years ago

Wow. This is fantastic with the BBQ chicken and hot dogs I am eating right now. This is surprisingly refined for a Cali Syrah — 11 years ago
