The California first growth delivers the goods! This 2002 mag had so much power and cassis impact without becoming heavy- on the contrary it was super refreshing. This beat Bordeaux at its own game with Kobe Fred steak after 2 hours in the decanter. — 11 years ago

Blankiet Estate

Prince of Hearts Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Oh my - what an excellent Merlot from Blankiet. If tasted blind you'll think that this is a first growth Napa cab. Wonderful bouquet of dirt and charchol with amazing palette from start to the LONG finish. If you have in your cellar today open a bottle and enjoy! — 11 years ago

1997 Sassicaia. Second red wine of the night at the Diana Krall concert. Interesting to drink this wine after the Tignanello. This wine had more structure and fruit. Bigger wine. — 11 years ago
