The Artemis follows the 91 Phelps Merlot. Hardly fair! It's still big. Huge black and blue fruits, star anise, vanilla barrel toast, spice, caramel and earthy mineral finish. — 11 years ago

Beguiling purity of black and purple fruit and sweet spice on the nose, freshly baked cherry pie, beaut! In the mouth this is rich without cloying and has wonderful ripe red fruited acidity, slick eminently drinkable, subtle beauty — 11 years ago

5-Oh Bday Dinner... From a half bottle. Deep red and purple color. Mostly opaque and thick in the glass. There is still some good fruit in the nose with gravel and soil notes. Very round in the mouth. The wine hung in there over the hour it was consumed. Nice experience with an 80+ year old wine. — 11 years ago

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. — 12 years ago

Fully mature, and holding together wonderfully. A lighter vintage for this, very raspberry fruit character, with a spicy, moderately funky, congruous nose. Not overly complex, but she floats across the palate like a lullaby, no edges remain. Still quite vibrant, a delicious treat - a toast to one of history's star vignerons. — 11 years ago

Inky dark color with a purple rim.
On the nose, Blueberries, figs, blackberries, spices, vanilla and black pepper.

Long, thin legs and 14.5% alcohol.
Bold, big and full bodied.

Smooth, sweet and sexy on the palate, with blackberries, dried figs, raisins, black pepper, vanilla and herbs.

Long lasting finish with smooth tannins and black pepper. Excellent!! — 11 years ago

Great tannin structure, alcohol content compliments it well, beautiful color: nothing inky, great mountain fruit: deep with a long finish. — 13 years ago
