Pure pleasure, the palomino fino balancing out the sweet PX and adding layers of complexity. Really a masterpiece of the blender's art. Pedro Ximenez on the nose, brown sugar and a most appealing dry salinity with additional notes of molasses and spices on the palate. — 8 years ago

2011. A freight train, there's no other description. The nose is a bright, earthy, big fruit, cassis, cedar, wet leaves. Body is still tight, tannic, but the fruit is clearly discernable. The finish drags on and on, Still young, but already fantastic. In 10 years, it will be a masterpiece. Cellar it for at least 5 years. — 9 years ago

2010 is an incredible value. truth is the acid isn't totally integrated yet, but it's still gorgeous: heady aromatics of kirsch, red flowers and baking spice also show on palate, accented by chalky minerality. fine, feathery tannin and shimmering (if overbearing) acidity complete the picture. in 2+ years this will be a masterpiece. — 10 years ago

Amazing Merlot!!! Pure pleasure - an extraordinary mix of power freshness and complexity. A masterpiece. Those who know me, know that I don't easily grant 5 stars. But here each star is well deserved!!!

My score 95, drink 2014-2028!

The wine is almost black in color, the nose is seductive and essentially you fall in love with this wine from the first sniff. The aromas are rich and concentrated, plum, black cherry, sweet spices, licorice, coffee, chocolate, blueberry jam and much more. Body is full, chewy, rich intense , rich and extracted, a rare combination of fruit forward and freshness, the tannins are round, smooth and caressing, the light acidity keeps you addicted. The finish is long, and addictive.. Impossible to stop drinking it — 10 years ago

This Pinot Noir (the t in Pinot is silent) is delectable. A true shining star. The aromatic treat starts with strong notes of red, and screams 'drink the entire bottle buddy'. Succumbing to the temptation you will discover a blissful elegance as this masterpiece flows through your body. Invigorating your inner youth, enchanting your inner sommelier, and appeasing your inner drunkard with the 16.0% alcohol by volume. This reasonably priced bottle of happiness would truly be a delight on any occasion. Additionally the surgeon general declares consumption of such a magnificent beverage could be detrimental to the growth of a child, pregnant women be warned. — 9 years ago

This is just fantastic 12 years in. The complexity, structure, elegance are there to last many more. Phenomenal across all the senses, this is a masterpiece of Margaux. The fruits are gorgeous and silky and the earthy and herbaceous elements are so harmonious. The finish is lengthy and glorious. Outstanding! 2003 vintage — 10 years ago

Wild blackberries, licorice, and black currant. A classic, textbook California cabaret from the SC mountains. Even at 4 years old, it was surprisingly smooth after 30 minutes of decanting. A long, structured finish and a nose that permeated the table 18 inches away. A total masterpiece! — 8 years ago

al, overlooked because of its tannic youth and its proximity to the improbable masterpiece the ’47 became. On the nose you have violets and strawberries, an attractive leafy spiciness, and very evident Cabernet Franc. Sweet red berries on the palate opening, sage, rosemary and spices, some cloves, harmonious acids, just such an alluring, precise wine, game and sweet notes past the mid palate, a beautiful floral, lingering finish. There is nothing excessive about this wine, a graceful yet still alluring, fleshy texture pervade this beauty. Simply brilliant! — 9 years ago

Elegant, austere, , powerful, unique, divine. Ten years on yeasts. Intense parfume of a good dark rhum and then... toasted notes, dried fruit, hazelnut, raisins, honey, bread, a drop of oxydation. Pure warm sensations. An impressive structure. A beautiful intense yellow color. Infinite persistence. Unbalanced (for a millimeter) towards the line of rhum but it's, for sure, a masterpiece for its body and its originality. — 9 years ago
