Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1997

A superb wine had in the Caribbean. Immediately from the pour you could tell that it had much vitality in it with deep ruby to purple coloration and a big wild mushroom nose. Needed surprisingly little time to open up and develop. This was my first Mouton Rothschild and wasn't disappointed to say the least. The tannins were delicate to the touch, giving the overall mouthfeel a sense of sublimity. — 9 years ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 2012

Made with complete cluster of grapes, dark inky purple in color, smells of nail polish, white pepper, tobacco with lively but restrained acidity, firm and strong tannin, tastes of leather, salty meat, raspberry, mineral stone, mint and herb, full body with complex long finish. Really tasty! — 10 years ago

2012, apparently if you missed the first time, no chance to add it.

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Flemings for our 13th anniversary. Had again several years later. Deep purple in color. Striking and strong nose. This is a complex blend with a loyal following. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon. I bought a 2015 from LA Wine Co in July of 2017 and opened in November of 2017. — 11 years ago

Chappellet

Signature Donn Chappellet Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

It’s Thursday but this is a Friday wine. Deep purple in colour, nose is a fruity mix of blackberry, cherry, liquorice and chocolate. Tannins are a little gripping but they allow the flavour to linger, I can taste cherries, blueberries, cloves and pepper. This is a well balanced wine which is very drinkable but no doubt will be smoother in a few years. Recommended. — 7 years ago

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Everything you'd expect and more. All the rich dark fruit, chocolate and lush purple flowers, but none of the sticky over-ripe flavors. So balanced. — 8 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Jammy fruit forward jihad bomb combined with purple octopus ink color, elegant ripeness, legs like Cindy Crawford, and stinky Pepé Le Pew perfume aromatics. This bottle possessed me with the vengeance of the exorcist. — 9 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2012

Deep ruby color with glints of purple. Red cherry with hints of black fruit and menthol on the nose. Mid-weight red fruit on the palate with firm, grippy tannins. Would suggest an hour decant or even better a few more years of bottle age. — 9 years ago

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago
