I had a fruity to oak/earthy experience. Fruit up front Oak to Earth on the finish.
$10.+ at Costco.
Went well with my steak-filled salad...as well as with my chocolate-covered walnuts afterwards.

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1999

For a 20 year old St Estephe this Cos d’Estournel is sublime. Perfectly aged but shows a lot of youth throughout the hour opening with red fruit mixed in with leather and chalk. A good 35 sec finish. A classic Bordeaux that rocks! Kept from my Phd days ( Rodolphe this is the last one buddy) is surprisingly vibrant. happy birthday 🥳 Philippa. — 7 years ago

Marietta Cellars

Christo Lot Number 3 North Coast Syrah Blend

What a difference an hour decant makes! Pitch black in the glass. Barnyard funk on the nose. Blackberry and leather mid-palate. Lots going on with this wine and time will only improve this vintage. Tart cherry and cranberry on the finish. Firm tannins and quite dry. — 10 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2008

Initially pine resin and cassis in the nose. As it opens more red meat and oil cured olives. Dark dried cherry, star anise, harsh tannins, still a baby. Changed a lot in the glass. Would decant. — 11 years ago

Marietta

Old Vine Red Lot Number 60 California Red Blend

Pop and pour. Black cherry, kirsch, black licorice, and some wood smoke both on the nose and palate. Deep ruby color, medium body. A nice impression of fruit—big, but not as heavy as expected. Medium tannins, medium acids, but they linger onto the finish. A decent wine, with better-than-average complexity. I'd get half a case of this and be quite happy... — 12 years ago
