Remarkably young, powerful and fresh. Not quite as perfumed or elegant as the 1982 today, but still superb. Nothing better than being with friends. — 9 years ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1979

Wotn. Topped he '94 Montrose, which was superb. This had everything. At a plateau, but no signs of imminent fading. Do they still make left bank Bordeaux like this? — 10 years ago

Pierre Gonon

Saint-Joseph Syrah

2013. Superb. Was expecting infanticide and discovered a prodigy. Lighter side of Syrah, perfectly delineated after 1 hr decant. Feminine, lithe lens on allspice, lavender, bacon fat. Swathe of fine tannins. This will evolve for decades, so nicely structured, but worth trying now. As good as the pricier VV I tried last year. — 10 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend

Superb from start to finish. Robust nose of dark cherry, tobacco and earth. Taste is amazing. Dances on your tongues tip..meanders to the center of your tongue with all the body one can endure....and finishes with you longing for more...whew...I think i need a smoke after that! — 11 years ago

Château Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2002

A prefect Claret color, intense but translucent ruby. The aroma is noticeable from the hip, flowers like violets, sweet cedar, mature plum and cassis rise effortlessly from the glass. The palate is strength without effort, superb length, freshness and purity. — 11 years ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2006

2006 vintage. At Au Fil du Zinc, Chablis. Pale garnet hue. Savoury, Earth and manure nose, red currant and wild strawberry, red cherry. On the palate, medium acidity, medium body, medium plus alcohol. Full concentration. Long long finish. Licorice, mint, savoury spices, the whole shebang. More evolved than the '05. Superb. — 10 years ago

Superb, long lived and exquisitely balanced. Almost as good as the 59. Number 2 wine of this Latour vertical. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Kudos to the boys for all calling it CdP, GV even nailed it a Pegau blind. Bramble, tar and hint of garrigue. Rich, distinctive nose. Amazingly still coming together after 3 hr decant, the pieces all there: beef blood, earth, peppery spice, pipe tobacco. Big tannins on the precipice of melting down and perfectly melding it all together. Just a few years before this passes superb on its way to profound. — 11 years ago
