The 1991, with 27 years on it, is a stunner. Going to brown on the rim, but with good fruit remaining and some tannins left. Earthiness does predominate, but still rounded enough to show amazingly well! A testament to the wine maker, as well as the importer and distributor! All in all, an amazing 9.5 , even as it approaches the 30 year mark! Yummm...! KNJ — 7 years ago

Block 3 was arguably the Pinot that put Central Otago on the map. The first Grand Cru if you like although Blair Walters now considers Block 5 its equal. — 8 years ago

Nice Sauvignon Blanc which is especially good to accompany a menu, but perfectly fine to drink just by itself as well! One of my favorites in the ~10€ range — 10 years ago

Year is 2000. Couldn't get it on because of how the label is printed. Bought this in Northern Italy a few years back. Private tour of the winery with the maker himself! — 12 years ago

Mildly heady aroma with deep black cherry and violets prominent. Exquisite balance and smooth texture allowing the excitement of the cherry notes to zing but in a deftly warmed manner.,straight through to a light harmonious finish. The maker is clearly aimed toward the beloved Bordeaux style and this affords us the local proximity. One of the best Virginia wines we’ve tried and very exciting to know about. — 7 years ago

Isosceles is the flagship wine of Justin vineyards that put Paso Robles on the wine map. The 2014 Isosceles could lay for 10+ years, but also has a ready-now taste that makes it incredibly unique. Another beautiful Cab-driven beauty! — 8 years ago

1998 vintage. At Cheval Blanc for dinner with Olivier, the wine maker. Medium ruby hue. Dark fruit, dark chocolate, black currant. On the palate, medium acidity, medium minus body, medium plus concentration and medium alcohol. Good finish. Slightly bitter on the end of the palate. Drink now until 2032. Prefer to the 2000 which appears to have aged quicker than this vintage. — 8 years ago

Amazing wine for one as young as this, it tastes like a wine 10 yrs older.
95 merlot, 4% cab and 1% petit Verdot.
Intense color and concentrated flavors, this red is pretty stellar. The wine maker suggests this wine can be aged for 20 years. — 9 years ago

Yeah, I know, too young. Such is the nature of most restaurant lists. Still, a stunning wine to share with the Vinous map team during our research of Yountville vineyards. — 8 years ago

I like this almost as much as the Count's* Terry Thomas moustache. A cassis-fest of sweet fruit with good structure, over-delivering for a weak vintage.

First try of the 2013. Patty Green proves again she's probably the best Pinot wine maker in the Willamette Valley. Fantastic. I've yet to try a better Pinot for the money in Oregon. Wonderful. Love this wine. — 10 years ago
