Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007

Unique / Bordeaux style wine. Needs time to open and despite the age, would improve with decanting this wine. Old world nose, well balanced on mid palate with forest notes and wild berries. Medium finish — 11 years ago

Star of the night. Needed more time to wake but full body super thick and sticky after taste — 12 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Second time in 3 weeks to enjoy this treat, though later vintage — 11 years ago

Domaine Jamet

Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1990

Coaxing it out of the glass. Needs time to blow off typical barnyard nose, leads way to dark red fruit and really long finish — 12 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Really happy to find this 1 litre for only $129 especially considering 750ml sells for $100 in the store. First time for the 2013 vintage. Very similar to 2012 and another winner for me. — 11 years ago
