Viña Errazuriz

Don Maximiano Founder's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

Bar none best Chilean wine I've tried. No pyrazinic dominance; instead we've got lush dark fruit, chocolate, tobacco, leather, potting soil, manure, tree leaves, cedar, etc. and the structure of a fine Bordeaux. — 9 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

2011 was a difficult growing season, right? Silver Oak seems to have overcome that just fine. No disappointment, here. — 10 years ago

Jacquesson & Fils

Cuvée No. 738 Extra Brut Champagne Blend

Aromas of baked apple, lemon curd, acacia flowers with a real persistent mineral laced accent. Vibrant palate with a fine balance between tension and richness. Mineral flavors with hints of bread dough, lemon peel and pear fruit. Disgorged September 2015 — 8 years ago

Amuse Bouche

Napa Valley Red Blend 2008

Classy. Ripeness but contained. Oak is both subdued and seemlessly integrated. On the nose is explosive fruit, freshness. No secondary aromas detected. On the palate, medium tannins, fine, with great balance. Acidity shines through. Goes on forever -- endless length. — 10 years ago

L'Ecole No. 41

Perigee Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Excellent mid palate and great structure. Fine, elegant mouthfeel and nicely integrated oak — 10 years ago

Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

For my son's 20th birthday, I think this 19 year old, Australian Cabernet, will be appropriate. It's also going to take care of my Friday's fix nicely...

What a beautiful color on this beauty. Ruby in color with a burgundy rim. Almost showing no age at all.

After an hour in the decanter, fruity nose with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, black currants, leather, oak, vanilla, licorice, light green pepper, smoke and black pepper. Very gentle and aromatic.

Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium plus acidity and awesome looking legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, cloves, licorice, vanilla, cedar, leather, dirt, pencil lead, earth, cola, white pepper and spices.

A very long finish with very fine grained tannins and tart cherries.

What an awesome wine this is. Well-balanced and very enjoyable by itself. So elegant, complex and velvety.
It smells and tastes a lot like a Napa Cabernet, which surprised me a little.

Aged for 15 months in American oak barrels.

14% alcohol by volume.

You just like a Bdx, you're improving with age my friend. Enjoy family as there is no better blessing or gift (in my mind, anyway).
