Post dinner party notes. Third bottle I’ve had of this and by far the best yet. Amazing. Such a complex nose, with roasted herbal notes, dark spicy fruit, earthy mineral iodine notes Tannins just about completely resolved. Length and depth for days. Wow. — 7 months ago

So much to say about this bottle. Its profile, its history, its growing rarity. And the fact that it was made at the very peak of The Patriarch’s era…

Then there is the occasion. A wine you cellar and protect, waiting patiently for the one moment worthy of all its allure.

A wine from a cooler Napa Valley, so evident in the glass it becomes mesmerizing. The freshness, the tension, the quiet authority; everything speaks of a time and place in Napa which no longer exists.

Yes, this is the kind of bottle that stays with you, not just as a wine, but as a memory. — 10 months ago

Fruit is still there! One of my favorites! Bob Foley is as good a winemaker as there is on the planet! Big, fruit driven, plum and rich, but incredibly balanced. Just so good!! — 7 years ago

Peach, key lime fungus, and some Zotz. Yea, interesting. Myer lemon and lemon zest. Honey finish. — 9 years ago

From a presumed late Domaine release, perfect looking bottle with high fill that threw off a lot of sediment. Tawny amber color, translucent and light in the glass. Light cherry, dry brush and rhubarb notes. A nice subtle richness in the mouth. Fruit is somewhat gone but still enough to match the rounded tannins and structure. Again, with air this blossomed and was a great experience for everyone. Another bottle from the Don Stott cellar. — 9 years ago

Bright aromas tangerine and citrus with a touch of pear. Juicy on the palate with tons of slatey minerality. Bright acidity balanced by lemon and lime fruit. Medium clean finish. — 12 years ago

Gorgeous on the nose. Classic aged burgundy. Soft pretty cherry fruit, with gorgeous subtle brambles and earthy notes. Browning at edges but in a good place with lots of secondary notes — 10 months ago

Aroma jumps out of the glass and the 2012 already shows developing notes of mushrooms with strong floral notes, some sweet spice. Strong smooth tannins and sufficient alcohol to age well. Nice spices. Drink in 5 years. — 11 years ago

2002 vintage. Fairly and surprisingly on the darker side of medium ruby. On the nose, rich and coffeed. Ripe black fruited. Sweet smelling. On the nose, bit of a hammer to crack a nut. Seems over extracted. Good concentration and very long. But tannins are big and round and the wine is unbalanced for me. Drink now until 2030+. — 10 years ago

Intense nose of coffee and chocolate. Palate of dark rich strawberry, raspberry, cocoa and hint of leather. This one bested many Grand Crus. — 11 years ago
