Secret Spot

Cosentino Winery

Secret Clone Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Raspberry and tannins on the boquet - big tannins that settles to a chocolate smooth finish. Really interesting - pair this with an appetizer. — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1982

Epic! Right in the sweet spot! absolute textbook G.C.C. that is perfect proof the 1855 is a joke! I sincerely hope it never gains the Unesco status some privileged Bordelais estates are hoping for, if this is considered 'fifth league'. Champagne & Burgundy bravo however! Truly deserving of their hard-fought Unesco world heritage status. — 11 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

Awesome bottle. Seems to be hitting the sweet spot of a drinking window. Decent at least 1.5 hours. Tannins were more integrated and smoother than expected. Delicious. — 11 years ago

Still in a great spot, maybe slightly broad (not quite flabby), still some cherry fruit along with plenty of tobacco. — 13 years ago
