Sunday wine-down with a favorite Cab (with your typical Bordeaux blending grapes to smooth it out). The first good Cabernet I ever tasted when first learning about wine (association is such a powerful thing). This is a very good vintage. Almost sweet, in the very best of ways. It almost smells like a Kir Royale. You could definitely wait, but for you impatient people like me, try it - you won't be disappointed... — 8 years ago

I have had at least 10 of these in the last year and very consistent notes in every bottle. Have 22 left and try to taste it every month or 2. Wine Spectator says it is not an ager and should be consumed now. I have not found any flavor deterioration in any bottle. Have shared it with at least 4 people and we all find it to be impressive.

Diaporos Block 5 Naoussa Xinomavro 2011

Not that familiar with Greek wines. So it was a nice surprise to taste this Diaporos. Earthy and full as good as any Italian Barolo I've had. — 9 years ago

Boutari

Santorini Assyrtiko 1989

This is the first vintage of Kallisti oak fermented & barrelled, by Yianni Boutari & Yanni Voyatzi (currently the head Oenologist of Boutari). Slightly oxidative complex nose, with honey, salinity, roasted nuts, touch of waxy nose, with a medium body fascinating & delish... and with a vibrant acidity. Boutaris at least in Naoussa & Santorini has crafted some jewels, that are still alive & kicking even after 20-30 years.
The last one I've tasted with Yiannis Voyatzis 2 years ago at two4eight after decanting it 1 hour after Yannis advice. THANK YOU YIANNI & YANNI!

Montagne Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Reminiscent of Kir Royale with a little floral aroma - really opens up when decanted — 9 years ago

Walker

Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep rich fully-bodied red. Oak, kir, and berries rise to greet. Starts sharp, with punching acidity and strong astringency. The mouthfeel opens up by mid palate, turning comfortably velvety and revealing cassis, figs, stale coffee and thick perfumed hookah smoke. The finish has a piney quality (like licking untreated wood), and a touch of mint that counters a yummy and persistent black cherry background. The two dimensionality of the tannins is what keeps this from really shining. Great value, good cab. — 10 years ago

@Kyle Volkes - haven't had it, but will look out for it. We don't see too many Greek bottles at retail, but I'm quite curious to dive in deeper. Thanks for the recommendation.

Pegasus Bay

Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2009

This just gets better with every try. Up front masses of kir combine with classic NZ notes of soy sauce and Asian spices. The weight is medium-full, velvety tannins all well integrated. A long finish with surprisingly deep notes along the purple fruit end of things, bigger than a typical Pinot but with excellent varietal character and it's own unique qualities. A definite wine of the year candidate. — 10 years ago
