What a deal what a deal what a deal - I will put this napa cab up against wines twice it's price - 2 hour decant and it's sings -

Taste is incredible fruit - dark blue and red fruit - highly structured tannins with density and complexity galore - smell works but it will get more aromatic in 2-3 years - If drinking now as I did then please decant

This comes from Tench vineyards - same as the acclaimed bevan - well I say drink this at half the price then you tell me the difference

This is big bold beautiful and I am smiling

It's incredible to me that you can taste the difference between a Sonoma cab vs. Napa Cab. Quite wild — 9 years ago

Unexpectedly good. I'm not a Sainsbury's regular and only got this because I read somewhere that priorat was interesting. Now I will look for others from the area. — 9 years ago

Funny how Mr Parker and I have such a difference in taste :-) he would score a table wine with 92 points and will award this lovely elegant and complex Burgundy with 88 points go figure. The wine is extremely elegant and concentrated, the nose is complex and multi laired with red berries, black current, cassis, mineral and leather all coming together into a full bodies elegant and supple wine , complex and rich , with a long delicious finish. My score 92, drink to 2025 perhaps longer . — 10 years ago

This is second time to taste this wine 2011 Vintage following to 2012 of the last one 2012. Same as the last one, it has an amazing better aroma and more matured taste than other wines with more years. When it comes to the difference of vintage in those two, almost same. But this time, I could taste it for 2 and more hours, then I realized it keeps good taste within 2 hours. More than that, alcohol flavor and acidity surpass others. @5875, Toscany-JH, 170310-170311. Tried again on 170316, 2012 vintage. In 3rd time, also color is really beautiful, then everybody in the party commented it is quite good. — 9 years ago

Quite pleasant organic pinot noir. But I still don't know any difference in taste between organic wine and, ekhm..., "regular" one. — 9 years ago

Hard to find but worth the hunt. A nice way to round out a long day. Can tell the difference and smooth taste comparing to 60 and 90 minute counterparts. — 9 years ago

(Last week) Sorry but I have no words for this. Dare I say that this is probably the very best wine I have tasted in years. Beautiful and perfect example of Rioja Tempranillo and granache and maturana and graciano and 3 rioja whites. It was interesting to taste the difference between top and bottom of the bottle. — 9 years ago

Very good wine. Interestingly having tasted through all of his 2005 Grand Cru offerings, I do not see much difference in the bottlings. They all taste pretty much the same. Not a bad thing - in fact they are all very good- just not much sense of differentiated terroir to my palate. Maybe it is me. — 10 years ago

Reposado makes the difference ! Very smooth taste. Even my wife who rarely has a drop of alcohol, merely a glass of red wine from time to time, really enjoyed this Tequila experience, with salt and lime. — 11 years ago

Great wine (what Barolo isn't). A little more fruit forward than I remember of other Barolos. Still a great wine. Didn't taste much difference between an hour after opening & the next day. — 9 years ago

Makes me wish I "got" champagne. That said, it's about the best one I've tasted. Update: by the end of the second glass, the bubbles had settled a bit and the wine warmed. It made all the difference and I could taste the complexity of what was going on. Still don't think I get champagne but that was bloody tasty! — 9 years ago

1998 Domaine G. Roumier Bonnes Mares Burgundy. Lunch w J&H R and Leon at The I.I. K took a chance on this wine- not a terribly notable year- and it was out of this world. HR particularly loved this. Bottle had been standing for 2 weeks, which K thinks contributed to making a huge difference in our enjoyment. Color was completely clear- no murkiness. We had a hard time pinning down the nose on this wine. No hard edges- super subtle in texture, taste, and nose. K makes note how surprised he was that this wine is drinking so epically right now. — 9 years ago

This wine was silky good and showed regionally the power and difference as 89 Lafite was also on the table. Showing power and richness with type raspberry flavors it was great to taste this still evolving 89 — 10 years ago

Decanted four hours. It made a big difference on this young vintage. Drank it against the lesser Chapoutier juice from Les Vignes de Bila-Haut and it was instructive to taste the difference between the two. The tannins were much rounder and integrated on this one, and the impression of fruit was cleaner... — 11 years ago

In a magnum, yay bicentennial. The difference between this and the '81 is that the '81 is great but it doesn't taste old, the '76 tastes old in a good way. — 11 years ago
