Another outstanding vintage of this great wine. A bit less spicy than previous vintages. Dark Cherry and dried herbs on the nose. Black fruit, tobacco and a hint of chocolate on the pallet. Smooth tannins and just a tad “funky.” Long finish. Completely different than the 2013 Vintage but quite delicious. Revisited in December 2020. The “funky aspect” is not as prevalent. Smooth and outstanding. — 6 years ago

Wow! Stunningly unctuous, viscous, mouth-coatingly cotton candy-like, sensual experience. Hopefully you all get an opportunity to visit this exotic destination. — 10 years ago

Always love Experiment from Ovid. The 2005 was more cab franc dominant and it's showing well with another decade or so left in the tank. — 10 years ago

2011 Vintage. Good mineral notes, medium body. Needs to decant for 2+ hours to really open up. — 11 years ago

Big and powerful Syrah. Make sure you decant this one. Dark blue and black brambly fruit. Black pepper and licorice. Hint of earth and chocolate. Dark purple color and very long finish. If you are a bold Syrah fan, this will satisfy you. Very pleasant! Very consistent producer. — 5 years ago

Solid product, but lacks depth. Heat is pleasant but not overpowering. The vanillin on the other hand is overpowering. — 6 years ago

Tha k you Mr. Lurton for coming by and pouring us four vintages of Cheval Blanc! This was in a great spot with the most olive intrigue, new leather and cool blue fruit. Where is my steak? — 9 years ago

1993 Screaming Eagle Cab. Drank at Press w K, Iana, S, and AG. Such a treat and very interesting as Kplanned it as a comp with the 1991 Harlan. For the first hour or so, we all favored the SE. Super unctuous and round, like velvet in the mouth. Then the wines came to temp and the picture completely changed and we all grew to favor the Harlan. Interestingly, the SE got flabby and very, very sweet. A thought it was bc it lacked the tannins that the Harlan showed. Anyway, SE turned almoSt port-like, with a nose of dates, raisins, and prunes. Amazing and fun to see the change throughout the night. — 10 years ago

Wow - power Beauj, unexpected. Dark, Somewhat austere (age) yet also fruity. Maybe that’s the old vines? Not sure what to compare it to - maybe a good CDP — 6 years ago

I love Washington state reds, and knowing the ratings I expected something a little more refined. This is a good wine, but it's very one dimensional. Jammy, dense, plum notes. Sometimes you're in the mood for something that lacks subtlety. In those instances this fits the bill. — 8 years ago
