Takes a while to open but when it does, classic Opus. Less tannin than other years with lots of dark berry flavors. — 6 years ago

New Year’s Eve treat with a perfectly cooked medium rare prime rib. One of the greatest wines I’ve ever enjoyed. Ranks up there with the 1966 laffite. Thanks Kirk Fry. — 8 years ago

Everyone knows I’m a fan of LRA but I’ve not had the 98 for a long time!

As I just found some @ £68 I had to try & it’s lovely for the money with lots of life left 👍

🍷 Garnet ruby w/ brick edge

👃 Smoked dark balsamic oak in spiced black cherry w/ vanilla cocoa cream, herbs, smoke, leather, coconut & caramel

👄 Med creamy smooth body of dark cherry bathed in balsamic & vanilla cocoa w/ red berry tones

🎯 Long chocky cherry w/ touch tart balsamic thick linger — 8 years ago

About two hours in the decanter before drinking. Really started to open up and show its true self. Light rose petals, tar and whole lots of earth. Definitely fading but a nice surprise — 9 years ago

Cru Beaujolais can be amazing! This one is. Meat, forest floor, mushrooms, cranberries, plums, lavender. Lots of layers. Finely nuanced wine. — 10 years ago

1995 vintage. Still deep purple red, subtle earthy leather aromas with a burst of fresh red raspberries mid palate. Lots of herbal hints like anise and tarragon. Finished with graphite and iron. Changed with each sip. Very nice mature and fully approachable left bank beauty. — 7 years ago

Classic claret. 89 and humming. Still needs years for tertiary flavors to emerge. Can't beat it with a rare prime rib in the background. — 9 years ago

dark red with white rim variation. Smoky black pepper on the nose, sauvage/animal. Palette sees lots of dirty funky animal/cured meat. Almost bitter finish. — 10 years ago

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.

Wow. Love this Sardinian. The front is big and salty. My favorite with big flavored food. I have not decided on the end yet. This went down with an awesome grilled pork loin seasoned in prunes and Dijon mustard. Side was a very flavorful split pea and onion mash. — 11 years ago

Lots of oak, dark fruit, smoke and earthiness on the nose. Very much a full-bodied 21st century Napa Cabernet. Fruit forward with silky tannins and a long luscious finish. A fantastic pairing with my NY Strip and Lisa's veal. — 11 years ago

For me, still the best Dunn Cab I've ever tasted, tightly wound still, tannic, but deep red fruits with minerality and tremendous length, great wine, a rare wine that I always felt RP underrated. Needs food (steak tonight). — 12 years ago
