In Good Taste

Robert Mondavi Winery

Private Selection Aged in Bourbon Barrels Monterey County Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Smooth finish, love this addition from Mondavi. Can taste the hint of bourbon — 9 years ago

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 2004

Very good bottle, haven't had an 04 in a bit. Toastier than I remember previous bottles of 04, hint of coffee, apples, great backbone. Think this is evolving nicely. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2003

2003 - Fruity, but with enough savoriness to keep it in check, a very good effort for the vintage. — 11 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1992

Surprisingly fruit forward for 25 years. Dark fruit and plum flavors with smoothed tannins. Good bottle bouquet. Cork fell apart but there was no taint to the bottle. Bottle well kept for at least the last 15 years - and supposedly the first 10 before I got it from a private buyer. I would not believe this review if I had not done the tasting myself. I had an 88 and a 90 in recent years that had not held up - flat flavors and thin color — 9 years ago

92 was an outstanding vintage! The 92 Napa is just as beautiful right now. Good job drinking it in the perfect window!

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

If you have to drink a 2011 Napa Cabernet, this is the one. Overcomes the flimsiness and off-centered taste of many of its peers. Blueberry, suggestive of Alexander Valley cabs, is present in spades, and wonderful, smooth, and satisfying midpalate and finish. — 10 years ago
