Loamy earth, dusty cherries with mushrooms, spiced tobacco, underripe strawberries, smoked wood and cassis. That was just the nose. Palate is a little more unforgiving with more wood, tobacco and spice wrapped in acid and tannins. 8h slow ox and 2h decant and this barely unfurled by last glass. Either 8h decant or 10 more years in the cellar? Whose that patient when life is so short? — 8 years ago

Ex-Chateau bottle. Testament to perfect storage. Light Amber edge with a darker core. Started off full of toast and just a whiff of brett. Slow ox for 2 hrs then poured. Amazing life for a 54yr old wine still in its stride. Light and dark fruit with seamless integrity and polish. Classic old BDX. After the initial funk blew off it kept developing in the glass. I could drink this all night long. Awesome — 9 years ago
Nett, aber nix extraordinäres. Sehr rund und tief. Kann man bestimmt zwei bis drei Flaschen hintereinandertrinken.

Wonderful and sweet without being sugary. Bought a few bottles of this and had friends over when the 2 bottles ran out I thought they were going to protest ! Ran back to Grocery Outlet and bought 4 more bottles :-) crowd pleaser — 8 years ago

Magnum 2008 Screaming Eagle Cab. Wine #4 for K's birthday dinner at Press. Really interesting to drink this after having the Harlan vertical at lunch and side-by-side with the Heitz and Martini. This 2008 much more ready to drink than Harlan. We decanted for an hour before drinking, but it was still really muscular and chewy. Was really delicious to drink while having our steak. Awesome treat. — 9 years ago

Tonight we are drinking Machete 2014 California red wine bottled by Orin Swift Cellars. The one with the naked lady on the front of the bottle standing beside her car with the door open. Hummmmm. Well the cork was well preserved. The color is dark and the legs are long and slow. The bouquet is blackberry cobbler. The initial palate is slamming with sweet black currant - whatever that is so Im guessing because I have never tasted a currant. However, I just ordered the juice! The flavor is blackberry and cherry! The finish is very dry with a short ending of vanilla and a tart cherry pie. Simply Devine! I want another sip! It is sweet but very dry! I love it! — 8 years ago
