Nose of damp wood and strawberry must, stewed strawberries on the tongue. Needed about an hour decant and it really sung. — 10 years ago

Bright acidity. More raspberry than cherry on the nose. Tannins stick primarily to the tip of the tongue and dies quickly at the back. — 10 years ago

Oenomaniacs don't have pearly gates, we have Domaine de la Romanee Conti La Tache 1990. Outrageously sexy, with a celestial perfume of asian spices and underbrush and dried cherry. Eternal finish that tattoos itself on your tongue and palate. Medium to full-bodied, with startling freshness and grip for a quarter-centurion. La Tache 1990 will enthrall for another 30 to 50 years.

Needs to air after first opening bottle but then reveals plush dark fruits, nice body and acid, has Burgundian overtones to me but at same time taste like modern Sonoma Pinot. — 11 years ago

Loads and loads of Indian spice, liquid smoke and earth on the nose. Cinnamon and dark liquor cherry and pipe tobacco coat the tongue. Tannins and supple but ever present and the finish is long with notes of menthol and truffle. — 10 years ago

Snouts digging around the acorn trees. Prosciutto garlands lapping the tongue. Vanilla pipe smoke trailing the highways as we walk on through the valley at dusk. Lightning bugs and crickets cast an open sea under the full moon. — 11 years ago

Really nice Chardonnay! Fantastic complexity - great fruit, nice nose, excellent oak. Rich and buttery on the tongue but cool and citric too. Fabulous. — 13 years ago

Happy new year 2013. Rich purple fruit core that just rolled off my tongue for hours. Better with food, but the flavor just lasted forever. Riper than I particularly go for, but still so good — 13 years ago

Strong berry rich cabernet sav. Aromatics of plum, vanilla, blackberry. Soft to tongue with long finish with just the amounts of spice and oaky. Pairs well with grilled steak. Tannins enhanced after letting it breathe for 30 min - 1 hour. Depth in flavor, great with hearty meal to compliment. — 10 years ago

I get green papaya or green pineapple on the nose. Lychee too. Dryer on the tongue than on the nose, I was surprised - pleasantly! Very easy to drink. I will buy this again. It'll stand alone or be good w/ food. Most white drinkers in a crowd would like this. — 11 years ago

This old vine malbec had a strong aroma of sweet red black plums, sweet cherries with hints of smokiness almost like a campfire. On the tongue you get a strong vanilla cherry sweetness with a long complex finish of dried cherries. I had this wine with a home made veggie chili and it was an amaaaazing pairing! It was the perfect balance of spicy and sweetness! — 13 years ago
