Not much nose here and never came around after a couple hours in the decanter. The palate was as expected, showing rich fruit that has softened a bit, but hasnt matured. The tannins are all but gone, time to drink em. — 8 years ago

This has improved over the last couple of years. Had a green note (jalapeño / asparagus) that might bother some but overall I thought it was a very nice wine. Drank st dad's 80th. — 9 years ago

Enjoyed this bottle immensely tonight (2011 vintage). I had all but given up on CDP and had reduced from a significant stock down to just 3 bottles over the last couple years. Many were either too hot/alcoholic or too barnyardy/bretty for my tastes. This was neither. Just delicious, clean fruit with great balance, approachability, and surprising complexity that emerged with air. Loved it, and so did my wife, who is not usually a fan of Grenache-based wines. — 10 years ago

I had very high expectations for this wine. I had heard a lot of very good things about Bedrock. This was my first one.

It came out of the bottle hot. Despite a couple of hours, it remained mostly hot. Strawberry and cassis on the nose. Definite American oak. A slightly bitter and metallic finish.

I was surprised to read the back label that claimed this was cool climate. It doesn't feel like that at all.... — 10 years ago

Had over the course of a couple of nights. First night was a classic Chinon on the nose and palate, although a little lighter bodied than many other Olgas I have had. Good spice on the palate and barnyard on the nose. Second night the nose was similar but the palate mellowed. A solid Chinon but not the best I've had. Still a good value in the high-20s. — 11 years ago

Pretty awesome, like Cali should be. Elegant, balanced and still has great acid. Probably can go for a couple more years easy. — 11 years ago

This '94 Lafite was loaded with tannins and seems well equipped to continue to mature for several more years. The cork was perfect. A real panty dropper, this wine had notes of black cherry and chocolate and was a delight. I'll think I'll have another bottle in a couple of days. — 11 years ago

Both me and the girl enter our 40th year in 2018, so we are celebrating a couple of days early with the oldest champagne we've ever had. Special is an understatement. Tastes like I'm butt naked, face down in a seafood tower on the top of the Empire State Building, waiting on a helicopter to come take us to Waffle House to sober up before we get in a Ferrari to see a 35mm print of E.T. Endless thanks to @Christian Moses for this bottle. Will remember it for a long time to come. ❤🥂 Happy New Years Friends — 9 years ago

Breaking into the 'cellar' tonight. Better after decanting a couple of hours. — 9 years ago

Initially opened up with a strong nose of American oak--too much--but softened over the next couple of hours into the well-balanced, soft cab we expected. Four or so hours in, I find an earthy vanilla dark berry nose that leads to a palate of brambly dark fruit, a bit of dust, and balanced acidity with a soft, pleasingly round mouthfeel. — 10 years ago

The Ridge Lytton Springs Zin 2012 was excellent bang for buck at $32. I also gather it is tough to find. Silky and smooth with good berries and a hint of vanilla. The tannins were youngish and I'd expect the body to develop over the next couple years. nice oaky finish. Very pleased. — 11 years ago

Awesomr napa red blend. Eight years in and still youthful characteristics. Red fruit aromatics, noticeable tannin that doesn't overpower. Couple more years will do it good but tasting fantastic tonight! — 11 years ago

Expressive ripe blackberry and boysenberry on the nose. This wine has nice structure and is approachable now but should really come around in a couple years. — 11 years ago

Seems like the fruit bonked. It would be nice to have tried it a couple years ago, but the acidity tells me it might have balanced again in a few years, so who knows :) — 12 years ago

2001 SuperTuscan heavyweight match with Tignanello vs Flaccianello. This one got off to a slow start in the early rounds with a muted nose and flat palate, but after a couple hours was sparring vigorously with its dark well-extracted fruit, tobacco, and suede. Was it enough to take the title? Perhaps not, as I think the aromatics were never quite up to the task - but bravo ragazzo! — 9 years ago

This has improved and I enjoyed it more than a couple of other bottles that were opened a couple of years ago. Tannins have softened and the fruit and cedar dominate. Don't know that it will improve, but quite nice now. — 10 years ago

Subtle nose, but distinctly Pinot noir. More serious rose than what I usually drink. It was good, but I need to try a couple more of these. — 10 years ago

03' Abreu Rothwell Hyde. Predominately CB, CF, A small percentage of Merlot & PV sourced from Madrona Ranch & Thorevilos vineyards. It certainly was a challenging vintage.

I poured myself a small glass right when it opened .... it closed up in about five minutes. You have to decant this wine for a couple of hours. This wine is in a good spot right now. Tannins are so beautifully structured throughout the wine. Black fruits are soft and elegant. I would certainly love to try this again in 3/4 years. Best 03' I've had! — 11 years ago

Number 2 pencil shavings left over from my 7th grade SRA test. Combine that with a blackberry and earthy smoothness make this a great wine right now. Decanted for a couple hours. — 11 years ago

Great Bordeaux for those who like a more fruit forward style. Dark fruits with a long LONG finish. Opens up with a long decant (4+ hours at a min) but should be great in a couple more years. — 11 years ago
