Justin mentioned he had nearly given up on some of the 04s a while back, but they are showing well again now. This one was elegant and singing from Magnum. — 10 years ago

Boogie dark in the glass. Dark berry fruit parade. Licorice, lead pencil, graphite, flinty, crushed rock. Maybe a touch of seared meats. Monster huge, concentrated, layered but perfectly balanced. This wine has a sweet tannin that just seduces me. Suggest a 2 hour decant. My last 05. Please send more @Justin Smith — 10 years ago

Good to hear. I think I'm going to pour this at HdR.

for those who asked, "Boogie Dark"- Military Expression used in Afghanistan to quantify the complete darkness found at night there. A blackness that seems to swallow light. Used widely in Bagram AFB.

Seemed appropriate for this wine

The 2007 Booker needed about 45 minutes in decanter to really soar. Then BBQ meats and dark berry were present. I think decanting at home would have been best. After two hours it was very sexy. Nice work @Justin Smith — 11 years ago

A nice Granny Smith Apple on the nose. Maybe a slight tropical fruit. Lots of tropical lush fruit on the front to mid palate with a citrus lemon zest on the finish! I really like this. Love trying new things. — 9 years ago

Fresh blackberry, ripe raspberry, mushrooms, and wet stones. Fresh and elegant Pinot from Côte de Beaune, a region commonly known for its full bodied Chardonnay. Soft tannins with medium acidity. It pairs well with meatier fishes like salmon or tuna. — 9 years ago

My Final Four wine. Glass staining, opaque deep purple color. Somewhat restrained nose. Sweet blueberry/raspberry on the palate. Creme de cassis and licorice. Smokey, meaty, fleshy with notes of herbs and black pepper. Super concentrated and multi-layered. Just an enormous and stunning effort. Kudos @Justin Smith California Grand Cru. — 10 years ago

@Roman Sukley I am at the Final 4 watching my 'heels and Houston has no Saxum in sight. Please coordinate an air drop before the finale.

Roman Sukley

@Bill Bender you need to hook up with @Dag Zapatero who is also in Houston, also a Heels fan, and sent me a photo of a pre-game Saxum he opened last night.
