An amazing experience. Beautiful balance and still lot's of life left. — 9 years ago
Nice smoky nose with dried tobacco, peanut oil, iodine, mint and eucalyptus. In the mouth the tannin and acid is still youthful with crisp red apple skin and a hint of grandma's attic peaking thru the finish. — 9 years ago
Great tasting merlot. Flavors linger. — 9 years ago
Lovely and every bit of a bakers dream: clove, cinnamon, and just a hint of all spice — 10 years ago
The estate dates back to the Crusades, and Scottish navigator, George Smith, the owner in the 18th century. He was followed by M. Duffour-Dubergier, Mayor of Bordeaux, and then Louis Eschenauer, a famous wine shipper. In 1990, Daniel and Florence Cathiard now own the estate. Predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, darrk berry aromas, herb and spice. On the palate complex juicy black fruit flavors, cinnamon and cacao notes. Soft tannins, rich and full, lingering, mineral, youthful ending, needs time. — 7 years ago
A 10 year old port. The flavor of a robust Cabernet but sweet, thicker, and without tannins. Not tawny in flavor; not ruby in color. It is instead a deep and beautiful red color. Alcohol 18.2% by volume. — 8 years ago
Excuse me for (trusting my palate and) thinking that varietal labeling from this winery and era might not have been 100% correct?
This doesn't taste like aged Pinot but is still very enjoyable.
Opening up with time and the last pour (with heavy sediment) was actually the best. — 8 years ago
Very smooth, well balanced — 9 years ago
The classy Martini clone, which may just be Pinot and Sangiovese crossed up in Louis' lab in the 60's. Rich plush style and fully delectable. — 9 years ago

When it was opened the nose was shy, 30 minutes later it opened up to a smooth and elegant wine with fruit and soft tannins. Solid and good drinking. Cork was in great shape!! 56 year old wine that has held up beautifully.🍷🍷 — 7 years ago
