Clos Du Val, French for "small vineyard estate of a small valley," was founded in 1972 in the now legendary Stags Leap District by Franco-American entrepreneur John Goelet. Aromas berry fruits and pepper notes. Flavors of ripe complex red and black berry fruits, vanilla and cacao. Fully integrated tannins, well balanced, lingering ending with espresso tones. Great value. — 8 years ago

My wine of the night and one of the best wines I've ever had the pleasure to try. The legendary Phillip Togni. He built his wines the old fashioned way - 25 years in the bottle was the plan when it was made and it is absolutely epic right now. — 10 years ago

Classic, though several notches below the legendary 2010 I've tasted twice. Hard to rate, and Gonon is always delicious, but this just lacks the concentration and ridiculous balance of 2010. — 10 years ago

Neck fill and good cork. Immediate nose of cedar, anise, of course eucalyptus and even some hibiscus. It's deep in the glass and core was still tight, even bit tannic and firm acids. This vintage is drinking better now than the legendary 74's as some of that bigger vintage is falling apart. A real beauty! — 11 years ago

The 1948 Cheval Blanc may well constitute the most unheralded legendary wine of the 20th century, in no small part because it precedes the 1947. However, after years of several mavens lionizing this vintage and after one impressive but not convincing bottle, I encountered a 1948 Cheval Blanc that frankly, blew me away. This third bottle originates from the same source as that and mirrors its performance. Deep and lucid in color, it has a quite astonishing bouquet that is high-toned and decadent: kirsch, blueberry and a hint of liquorice, all beautifully defined. But it is the power that knocks you sideways. The palate is exquisitely balanced with supple tannin, velvety in texture with a multi-layered smorgasbord of glistening red fruit towards the finish – wild strawberry, Morello cherry, and cranberry all mixed with subtle ferrous and tobacco notes. It is a wondrous Saint-Émilion that I would dearly love to compare with the 1947 one day! Tasted at a private dinner in London. (Neal Martin, Vinous, May 2018) — 8 years ago

Although not a legendary vintage this wine was thoroughly enjoyable. Smoked flavors mixed with red fruit and lovely balance and texture. Great cellar surprise. — 9 years ago

Excelente Cabernet Sauvignon, comprado numa boa loja no Vale de Casa Blanca, a caminho de Valparaíso.

Notas de ameixa preta, baunilha e carvalho. Rubi intenso. Muito corpo, taninos mercantes e com final intenso (sugestão: decantar por no mínimo 30min). — 8 years ago

1982 Monfortino. I love this wine. I last had it at the epic magnum vertical in London a few years ago with Vinous. At the end of the night I saved one bottle to put on the shelf, this wine (ok, the other reason was that my better half is of this vintage, but the wine had to be incredible too!). It has an iced tea quality, incredible complexity and grip. Legendary. — 9 years ago

The most spectacular white from the Mediterranean basin, always revealing great smoky minerality (no new oak at all), amazing depth and tension. Displays almonds dragees and saffron, lemon confit, hay, dried flowers, kaleidoscopic. So young for a 2010, will evolve for decades… One of the best vintages ever from this legendary Italian wine, mind-blowing for a Trebbiano!!! — 9 years ago
