Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1978

Both me and the girl enter our 40th year in 2018, so we are celebrating a couple of days early with the oldest champagne we've ever had. Special is an understatement. Tastes like I'm butt naked, face down in a seafood tower on the top of the Empire State Building, waiting on a helicopter to come take us to Waffle House to sober up before we get in a Ferrari to see a 35mm print of E.T. Endless thanks to @Christian Moses for this bottle. Will remember it for a long time to come. ❤🥂 Happy New Years Friends — 6 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Exquisite nose! Just keeps on giving...I would wear it as a perfume if I could! It's slightly sharper on the tongue than great pinots are. If it wasn't a screw cap it would be a good candidate for laying down a few bottles, no? — 9 years ago

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 1997

Not the complete package like the 96. The nose is a little shut down. Acid is intense and balance impeccable. This is no slouch. — 9 years ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Delectable Wine
9.4

A deep, inky wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is endowed with serious depth. Here the flavors are unusually dark and intense, with plenty of blue and black stone fruits. Graphite, cloves and licorice contribute to an overall impression of gravitas. Far from an easygoing wine, the 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet needs time in bottle to truly shine. Hints of violet, lavender and plum add the final shades of nuance. All of the signatures of the vintage come through beautifully. The translucent, mineral-laced finish is especially appealing. Frankly, it's hard to put the glass down. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous) — 7 years ago

Yes there do seem to be bubbles in it. I got fresh citrus, quince (easily confused with soap) and hints of brioche on the finish.

It is of course the perfect terroir for cooler climate wines... Hence the lemongrass notes

Drinkable now or lay down. Plum, leather, dark cherry. Jordan cabs are classics and always reliable. What got me hooked on wine. — 7 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2003

First time with the oddball '03 vintage. Lacking some of the standout aromatics of typical Tondonia. I wouldn't mind laying one down and see where it goes, seeing as Lopez wines defy logic, time, and space. — 8 years ago
