Château Montrose
Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1961
53 years in waiting for this group... What can I say. Started off much younger than the label would say.. Like the old grand dame of St Estephe.. Nice fruit, wonderful nose, and a pleasant finish to round out a great bottle of wine from a era gone by. Shared with friends like it should be. Looking forward to 2015 to do it all again. — 12 years ago
Heitz Cellar
Martha's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
Great wine, I'd absolutely seek out this vintage again — 12 years ago
Joseph Phelps Vineyards
Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1985
This is the 1985 Napa Cab and was tasted out of 5 liter. This wine was excellent! Herbal notes with a touch of saddle. I was so surprised by how much red fruit was on the pallet with a wine this old! Amazing! — 11 years ago
Bodegas Faustino
Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001
A very solid Rioja, meaty, dripping in fruit and spice. Nicely balanced at this point with room to get better. Not sure it deserves the 97 points doled out by decanter, however. Pleasant and the right price. — 12 years ago
Stag's Leap Wine Cellars
Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
This was poured through a Zazzol aerator and just spilled out Cassis, black olive, cigar box and vanilla/brown sugar from the glass. Should she well for another 8-10 years. Delicious! — 12 years ago
A. Rafanelli
Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2012
I am the sort of wine snob that will prefer my family's livelihood over all others. This was the last year my grandfather saw his vines, but didn't see the harvest. — 11 years ago
Ridge Vineyards
Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2007
Wow! This is drinking beautifully at the moment. Rich and quite fruit forward. Fully smoothed out tannins with a velvety, chocolate/coffee note that carries on throughout. Delicious and a happily surprised. — 12 years ago
Shafer Vineyards
Hillside Select Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
Out of Magnum. This wine is all time. — 12 years ago
Château d'Yquem
Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 1996
This time out of magnum, definitely needs more ageing time in this format — 12 years ago
Jonathan Wall
First night dark cherry and a bit too acidic. Second night balances out with layers of character... Spent more time smelling than sipping. So glad to get this piece of quintessential California in Hong Kong. 2012. — 11 years ago
