Unique blend. A little sweet. Good table wine. Not for everyone though. Kinda breaks the rules of red wine. — 11 years ago

Château Cheval Blanc

St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 1947

1947. Can't actually believe I have rated this in my lifetime. Although it had a significant amount of leakage and oxidisation, it was still bright, still had bags of fruit, tannins, acidity. What am incredibly generous wine to open to celebrate our new little company. Thx guys xxx — 12 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1969

Holding up nicely! Bit of menthol, a little fruit hanging on and notes of tobacco. Silky tannin and a touch of orange rind on the palate. — 11 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1967

This bottle suffered a little storage fatigue and tad oxidized for a great vintage. Color was much more brown than honeyed golden so expected less...still memorable wine. — 11 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2012

Pleasantly surprised how good this was. Dark with more than a hint of sweet fruit up front but little to no mouthfeel and nothing on the end. — 12 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1991

Drinking the 1991 in 2016 after over 2 hours of decanting. Wonderful light sherry type nose with a hint of pepper and quite brick red colour around the edges. Such a soft texture on the tongue though still a little astringency on the finish. Very good. — 11 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Decided now would be a good time to try out out the 2013 Prisoner. While not as good as the 2011 the structure is different, showing a ton of black pepper and balsamic on the nose with a little bit of violet flowers, and a very lovely, elegant finish. Big bold red and black fruits give way to a lush, black peppery back end. The finish is shorter than expected but still nice. This is still a good wine, just not as good as previous vintages. — 11 years ago

This is an excellent wine. Full, robust, and had a little spice to it. — 12 years ago
