Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 1982

Classic Olga and Can Franc. Balanced with a hint of blackberry. — 11 years ago

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 1995

Such a great Ardanza. Fruit acidity and all the classic tertiary magic. I wonder if today's Ardanza's will age with such grace. I miss the old school label too. — 12 years ago

Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Jörgen Lindström Carlvik
9.6

1989 vintage. A near perfect bottle with loads of ripe dark fruit flavors and classic Rutherford dust additions. Sweet tannins still providing structure and grip, and it's American oak treatment nicely integrated. Long, satisfying finish, where fruit, acidity and minerality comes in waves. Very, very impressive and behaving 10 years younger than it actually is. — 11 years ago
