The cork is perfect. The color is opaque. The legs are thick, long, and slow to flow. The bouquet is English lavender and honey. The initial palate is amazing!!!!! WOW! Im so impressed! Black cherry and cranberry bliss. There is a red pepper , spicy tang that I absolutely love! I so want to share this with someone so bad. There is butter, coffee, , and clove. There is black currant and oak. The finish is not that dry and leaves a desire for more!!!!! I dare you to try to have just one glass because I have just had two glasses and I am aching for three ! Good grief, Im doing it. Three it is! Cheers my friends! Stay thirsty... ha ha. — 9 years ago

Good, simple could be a bit more complex. Flakes on bottom of this and the 09 too. Liked this more than 09 tho maybe this had more time to breathe. — 12 years ago

Wow, absolute delight. High acidity, a touch volatile which is house style. Burgundian, sweet Brunello nose, amazingly long finish and deeply complex. Still very young, slow o for 3 hours then decanted one hour. Best Sangiovese there is. Brunello Riserva — 9 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 — 10 years ago

Half-bottle. The wine was medium amber in colour and offered orange peel, apple, honeycomb, caramel, smoke, spices, sherry and a mouldy note on the nose. On the palate the wine showed orange, peach, apple, cane sugar, caramel, smoke, spices, creamy honey, some coffee, a hint of chocolate, sherry, mild black tea and a mouldy note, paired with medium-plus acidity, a creamy honey mouthfeel and very good length. Judged by this half-bottle the wine has just passed its plateau and started its slow journey on the downward slope. A good, medium-bodied Sauternes with lots of botrytis character. Drink now. 89 — 11 years ago

Really well made, beautifully balanced and slow to reveal its depth. Disclaimer: it's hard for me to get past hints of Brett so the nose was a bit of a turn off, but it was not enough to make it difficult to enjoy. Fancy lil wine! — 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! — 9 years ago

A fine wine for 2002; very closed on nose and palate; slow to evolve and a very delicate style; camphor- cedar oak; acidity currently a primary taste; 13%; tasted in Brisbane — 10 years ago

Served pretty cold. Opened sooooo slow. Decanted by the waiter. Nonetheless: authentic leather couch with a bed of flowers growing out of it. Eventually. Perfection halfway in to 2.5 hours and gone. 🎉💥💕💕💕💕 — 10 years ago
