Fell in love with the dark rum, Havana Club Aged 7 Years, back in 2003. Received this bottle and the other as a birthday gift earlier this year... Both are smooth and clean with great flavors. — 10 years ago

Apricot nectar, marmalade, Italian honey and bread. Beautiful balancing act between acid and sugar with effortless depth and length. You pay for it though — 10 years ago

'Les Picasses' lies along a riverbank on a fairly steep slope that is primarily alluvial clay overlaying chalk and limestone. The vines are over 50 years old and the site is known to produce wines with fabulous purity and minerality. As such the Olga Raffault 'Les Picasses' Chinon 1989 has had time to mellow, the aromas are quite lovely—lavender, game, worn leather, a touch of barnyard, and cellar dust. There is a throaty, sensual wildness to this wine, punctuated by a vein of bright acidity and minerals. Everything I love in Loire Valley Cab Franc. — 11 years ago

Great value on this wine. Good acidity, bright fruit,. Though not bone dry this is not particularly sweet and really the residual sugar only shows against certain foods. — 9 years ago

Brown sugar, molasses, butterscotch, caramel, toffee nuts, orange peel. It's like candy. This would be great over pancakes or ice cream as well. Nice pairing well with Cari's tasty Pot de Creme. Thank you for a great evening and dinner. — 10 years ago

Outstanding. Ethereal. Sugar plumb fairies dance in the season floating across my palate with arms full of toasted brioche, citrus zest. So light. Must drink at temp, as the fairies start falling if they warm up. That's not a pleasant experience. — 10 years ago

A Chardonnay of unusual and almost Riesling-like character, this was full of aromatic pineapple and mango tropical fruits, melon, botrytis honey, pithy citrus, grippy acid, and phenolic character--bitterness and quite detectable tannin. Plus there's a small dollop of sugar. If this sounds good, drink now--after an hour decant, which softened the wine considerably--but I think this has the mineral energy to improve and integrate for 10 or so years. — 10 years ago

Favorite rum, perfect in a dark and stormy (ice, rum, ginger beer and dash of lime if you like) — 10 years ago

From the famed Prichard Hill estate vineyard, this 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a cult wine, rubbing shoulders with Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Colgin. The nose is typical of Napa Cab, with rich aromas of steeped blackberries, cassis, saddle leather, spice box and carmelized brown sugar. On the palate, it's silky, sexy and nicely balanced. There is a lovely, polished interplay of fine tannins and glycerol, along with darker notes of saddle leather, cedar, and espresso beans. Medium plus finish. — 11 years ago

Very unusual rum. Cherry casks made their job very well - smell of cherry is awesome! — 12 years ago
