@boyd pearson something like that

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Pickled grapes, candied nuts, currants, oak on the nose. Juicy! Blackberries, oaky tannins, herbs with some fresh vegetables (mint, pepper, thyme). Drinking fantastically with more life left! — 11 years ago

Corison

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Still really tight. Dark red purple. Classic cassis notes. Still plenty of time left. 2021 maybe? — 12 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982

My third time having this wine in the last year and while it was still amazing it wasn't quite up to the level of the last 2. I suspect just bottle variation. Still vibrant, aromatic and full of life. Still slightly tannic with tobacco, cassis, Forrest floor, leather and some nice chocolate and black fruits. I think it's at peak now but has plenty of life left. A wonderful mature Bordeaux — 11 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Still got it. A fantastic old Bordeaux with a classic nose and great flavor profile. A bit short on the finish. Tannins even still there for a few more years of life left. A great bottle. — 10 years ago

If I could give this wine a higher rating I would. Lots if fruit left. Had to look again at the vintage! Not the delicate flower you would think... Dried and fresh red and black fruit with surprising freshness — 11 years ago
