For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.
Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career. — 10 years ago
Should have waited a year. But delicate and juicy life. Feel the strength of Morgon and the delicacy of beau. Cranberry, raspberry, smoked tannins. A delight but I need another. — 11 years ago

Worth the wait.Complex, big Rioja that begs for protein. A masculine ideal more on the lines of LdH's Bosconia than Tondonia. A delight! — 11 years ago

Strawberry, cherry, white pepper, cola...little bit of green pepper, maybe. Good, but I'll let my other bottle sit a couple years. — 11 years ago
I really enjoyed this one. — 12 years ago
Nearly opaque dark ruby color with kirsh, baked blueberry and blackberries, vanilla and a bit of eucalyptus, and leather aromas. On the palate it's big, broad and hedonistic with good acidity and a very supple texture it shows bright baked blueberry, vanilla, baked cherry flavors. Long finish! Damned tasty! — 12 years ago
One of my faves. I ordered two half bottles - imagine my delight when I received two full bottles at the half bottle price. — 13 years ago
Classic pineapple tropical oaky delight. — 10 years ago
A very nice surprise. Didn't know the house, but it came as a smooth taste, delicate grape flavour mixed with berries and a slight fruity feeling along with the dryness of a hight spirited wine. Served at about 12 degrees celcius in the warm humid weather of Acapulco, an excelent choice for a a festive after meal delight. — 10 years ago

A delight. Deep with some minerality... tannic but not biting... very drinkable, but not boring at all. Managed to complement octopus with Calabrian chiles just as well as pappardelle with morels in butter sauce. Som. mentioned the fruit's soil had a volcanic ash to it. $70 at Babbo. — 12 years ago
Bright pear and lemon mingle with spices and delight, then drop off for a lingering mineral finish. Yum! — 13 years ago

This is a superb Silver Oak vintage & this magnum was the finest of the producer I have sampled. The '94 has a Deep rich fruit forward nose with currants, spice & ripe fruit. Open 40 minutes.. Bursting on the .palate with dark cherry and spice.. Hints of old leather & currants. This a huge wine at its peak. The magnum preserved it beautifully. A classic Cali cabernet & a delight with tenderloin of beef. If ya gottem', drinkem'.. You wont be disappointed if you have kept a magnum. — 10 years ago
