Really not much to say here except holy crap this is good. Leather, bit of game, dark almost stewed fruits, cranberry. The tannins are pure silk — 10 years ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

OMG!! Such an amazing wine, opens up very very well! Opens up very luscious and full of bold fruit. Tons of plum, and raspberry, with great undertones of cherry, and vanilla. Nice dark current, dark tobacco leaves, with harsh tannins. Finished like silk. — 11 years ago

Château La Fleur-Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1973

A study in vintage variation...a perfectly stored bottle that showed well...for a mature wine geek, this was lovely. Medium concentration, smooth as silk, beautiful aged claret nose of leather and menthol. Lasted for about 2 hours. — 9 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

I don't understand Caymus-haters. Sure, the setting didn't hurt, but with a half-hr decant the nose was rich cassis, vanilla. Showing a little age, the dark red fruit, tobacco and oaky-rich tannins were smooth as silk. Ready but could go for 5-10 years. Not sure I could've picked this out from an '05 Special Selection I tried a few months back. — 10 years ago

There are many claiming they've started adding flavoring beginning with the 12 vintage. I'm going to drink a 12 with a friend this week to see if these speculations are founded. I had an 07 recently that was very good. Their 94 SS is still one of the more memorable bottled I've opened.

Let us know your thoughts. For me, the 11 was excellent, but following that, they are bending the curve the wrong way.

Well...I just tasted & posted the 12 Caymus. Apparently, had a lot to say about it. Take a look and share your thoughts.

Hartwell Vineyards

Estate Reserve Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Vega Sicilia silk in Napa's best black fruit tradition. Then comes the tobacco, and the subtle tannins, and a touch of licorice, and you end up with a superb wine. — 10 years ago

Château Ducru-Beaucaillou

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Smooth as silk, as appears to be the consensus for this house - apparently, even when young. Dark red fruit on the nose, along with earthy notes that should develop with age. "A fine claret." — 11 years ago

06 aged beautifully. Probably the best aged Cab I have had ever from Napa. Deliciously rich and powerful but subtle dark chocolate, leather and blackberry notes. Smooth as some sexy silk. Really thanks for sharing Orlando and I look forward to working together. — 11 years ago
