Date night at stonewood with CC. Christmas break 2015 — 11 years ago
Love it. Dry with pepper, cinnamon, long lingering on front back and sides of palate. Date night! — 11 years ago
I was scared at first. Vintage isn't the best one, tough conditions, rain close to harvest date.
Then I popped it and suddenly That happened. Definitely, Lafite is another breed of wine. I must admit that this is a rather austere Lafite but fruit is there, topical Bordeaux nose, very "Old School". mint, pudding and confit fruit (not dry nor overripe, rather mature I must admit).
Give Bordeaux best properties some bottle age then you understand why all the buzz. Loved it! — 11 years ago

Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 9 years ago
Dried cherry, fig, date--an elegant mouthful; earthy and silky. Very impressive. — 10 years ago
Beautiful wine, full of flavour. Had this on a date with my girl Mary J, they really hit it off — 11 years ago
The body is crazy crazy garnet (beautiful) and seriously viscous! Dripping crimson down the sides of the glass after a swirl.
Tannins are soft but plentiful. About to eat it with a steak and beurre rouge... Should be a great fit.
Lots of subtle dark fruit with vanilla and a bit of spice.
Definitely fine by itself but can handle food.
I CAN FEEL IT STAINING MY TEETH!
Not a first date wine ;)
but good!

Nice creamy and medium to full-bodied.
No disgorgement date listed but (perhaps just due to my palate) I found this to be better than my last bottle of this cuvée. — 11 years ago
The most fantastic DRC to date! This is legendary, very, very gorgeous, fresh cut lilacs, pure pinot noir perfume, forest floor, acorn, rose essence, hibiscus flower...
Wow! — 12 years ago

Date Night! ❤️. 2014 Red Blend - Flora Springs Trilogy — 9 years ago
Wine of the night. This wine had EXCELLENT fruit, and showed NO VISIBLE SIGNS of decline. Great powerful blackberry. I was guessing 01 Stag's Leap or Rutherford. Turns out it was Caymus SS 01, but I was second guessing myself on the year because it was a very purple color into the decanter and showing well. The wine had great vanilla on the front, blackberry on the front, and a more youthful middle and finish with some herb. This wine has 10 years left in it no doubt. Whoever cut this one off at 2017 has no idea. This one literally showed no signs of decline whatsoever. Drink by date 2007 - 2030. — 9 years ago
Extremely complex and rich wine that explodes with lots of dark fruit, caramel, chocolate, licorice and eucalyptus on the palate. In some ways it almost takes on a Syrah like taste with interesting hints of roasted meats. Very nicely integrated but big and bold. Probably has a long cellar life if you can keep your hands off it! — 10 years ago
Probably the best sake I've had to date. Very floral and smooth. — 10 years ago
Sweet but not too sweet! — 11 years ago
Easily the best D'Yquem I've had to date (67,75,85,01). Sweet, honey, vanilla hints of amber and pineapple. Amazing. — 11 years ago
