Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1999

Scorewine
9.1

Lovely champagne, so young and fresh, though it is at its sweet 16. Light gold color, lovely bubbles more on the mild side, I guess it was a bit more perky in the past, nose of citrus, grapefruit, hint of tropical and oak with a touch of yeast. Super fresh body, crisp and appealing, with long yummy fresh finish. A lovely champagne. My score 91, drink to celebrate life any day until 2020. — 10 years ago

Robert Mondavi Winery

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

2000 vintage. Still has some tannin gripping on for dear life. Cranberry and pomegranate and fig and potting soil. Some chocolate as well. A little rocky on the palate but one that isn't showing 16 years in any bad form. — 10 years ago

Harlan Estate

Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 1990

The first vintage release from Harlan estate. Now I can say I have been lucky to try every vintage of this wine. Long finish, with a lot less of a ripe attack than anticipated. Long life ahead of this wine made in a different era in napa. #timetraveling — 10 years ago

@Jason Heller I have had the 89 but no 88 or 87 yet.

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

OMG--this old
#Latour is so massive that you could eat it with a fork!
One of the greatest vintages of the 20th century, and, even now, this wine has years of life ahead of it!
And to think that I used to work in a wine shop that had cases piled up ten high priced at $50 per bottle!
