Once Upon a Vine

A Charming Pinot California Pinot Noir

Very fruit forward with a smooth finish. Detect a lot of brown sugar. After letting it breathe got more of the maple flavor. Light body. Very light tannins. — 10 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2011

Super Tuscan at its finest. Cab elements were in the forefront and the other varietals were a strong supporting cast. Lots of $$$ but worth it at least once or twice. Especially vs Antinori... — 11 years ago

Château Lafite Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

1959 and still with strong fruit, a powerful, finessed body, and beautiful structure - great acidity to balance the strong body. Smooth with a vibrant kick, but definitely some expected musty earth with this age. Fruit is a bit raisinated but present and persistent. Don't dally once it's open - enjoy! Truly a well made wine. Tasting this was a wonderful reward after sweating through getting the cork out safely! — 10 years ago

This was still nice despite a leaky cork. Lovely drinking window. A touch oxidized, but overall a nicely ahead 59. Acid intact.
