This blew my mind too, witnessed it slip in my glass and totally fade away. Wouldn’t have happened to a 1982 — 7 years ago

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend

Yuko bought this at Costco for about $16. Appearance is clear, medium intensity, purple color, clear rim to medium core. Nose is clean, medium intensity, developing, with aromas of blackberries, pepper, and vanilla. Palate is dry, medium acidity, tannins and alcohol; medium body & flavor intensity; flavors of blackberry, black cherry, vanilla and pepper; very well-balanced with a firm tannic texture and a medium finish. Quality is good; can drink now but has potential for aging until 2016. I like it! A very nice wine that punches a few pound above its weight. Great with beef filet with bacon (but then what isn't?), and dishes that incorporate umami flavors. — 13 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

The nose alluring and complex but restrained; the medium body palate layered, broad, and textured; the tannins velvety yet gripping; and the finish long and persistent. Very classy and elegant. Paid $80 for this 08 vintage. It’s hard for me to imagine how much better the 09 or 10 vintage (cost significantly more) can be. — 7 years ago

Medium ruby color and a pronounced nose of raspberry, violet and a spice note reminiscent of sandalwood incense. Lovely medium body with silky texture. Good acid balance for food pairing and a long lovely finish. Wonderful evocation of serious Beaujolais — 8 years ago

🍷 Garnet ruby w/ brick

👃 Smoked burnt oak, soggy earthy leaves, leather, dark cherry & figs w/ balsamic & damson

👄 Med body of creamy stewed cherry w/ earthy balsamic & slight mocha

🎯 Med finish of above w/ earthy balsamic linger

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

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. — 10 years ago
