Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Big quality fruit bomb - 2006 - drinking softly now, open 2 hours. Would like to see if the fruit resolves over the next few years. — 11 years ago

Old Potrero Vineyard Red Mourvedre Blend 2012

Spoon and stable. Great food, better company — 11 years ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2007

Unique / Bordeaux style wine. Needs time to open and despite the age, would improve with decanting this wine. Old world nose, well balanced on mid palate with forest notes and wild berries. Medium finish — 11 years ago

Château Léoville-Las Cases

Grand Vin de Leoville du Marquis de las Cases Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend

Very powerful, extracted. Will still improve, as it took over an hour to open up. Good with food, but I clearly see why I drink less and less Bordeaux. — 11 years ago

Beringer Vineyards

Private Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Needed about 2.5 hours in decanter to open up. Could use more time in bottle. A classic big, bold, chewy California Cab. — 11 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend

Way too early to open, but it's Christmas, so why not. — 12 years ago

Nice. Had the '89 a couple months ago and it was killer. Bury a few of these in your cellar and drink them when your kids graduate from college.
