Forgot to take a picture last night , but a perfect time to enjoy. A fairly large scale Chambolle that had tons of extract , with good acidity still to keep it from being heavy. Serious juice. — 9 years ago

Big cab franc. Showing big fruit with enough herbaceousness to balance it out. May take a couple years to bloom but drinks great now — 9 years ago

Big and bad for this grape. Plenty of tannin, oak and fruit. Maybe a touch over the top to take it putt of balance. — 11 years ago

Has been a while since we've had the '07. It was great to find it at our small local Italian restaurant, especially for way below retail. Purchased the rest to take home to the cellar. Anyways, it is drinking very well. The 07 and 05 are our favorites and about the only Opus we purchase. — 11 years ago

Howell Mtn Tasting - Tasting a lot of wines though and in the same glass so I find it unfair to take these ratings seriously. Liked the 2013 a lot better than the '14 which just needs some time. From mag — 9 years ago

How is it? "It's Bordeaux. It will take 2 hours to open up." This one will need 4 hours. — 10 years ago

An interesting blend, very bold, needs to warm up a little bit in my opinion once you take it out of the cellar — 11 years ago

Fantastic Bordeaux. Lots of earth. Curious to see how it would be in 5-10 years. Tannins will prob take this gem out for several years to come. — 12 years ago

Top 2-3 Napa Cabs I've ever had. Magical nose, cassis, cocoa, red flowers. Rich but nicely aged mid-palate, spreading into a wide swathe of candied red and black fruit, soft but powerful. Secondary stuff in spades. Then - an explosion at the back-end of cedary fruit and fig, tobacco, dark chocolate that lasted for >60 seconds. Just a monumental wine, sadly a solo.
This is note #500 for me, grateful to so many Delectable contributors who take the time to educate and expand my wine perspectives (or, in the case of @Bill Bender...other stuff, too!). Thanks to @Anthony Lombardi @Kimberly Anderson @Jörgen Lindström Carlvik @Jeff Savigny@Ron R@Shawn R @Richard Steinberg @Martin G Rivard (who is living the dream), @Greg Gregory among so many others, not to mention @Roman Sukley with magical reach to inaccessible, iconic SQNs (and the will to pop them) and frank open perspectives from legendary winemakers like @Mike Smith and @Cathy Corison, you all make this a neat community of which I try to be a small contributor.
Finally - a renewed plea to @Antonio Galloni to return "trending" to this community, as it was stolen by the bean counters! I'm no social media expert (I do have 2 teenagers!) but I'm pretty sure that "trending" speaks to the integrity and will to contribute of an entire community...take a look! — 9 years ago

I drink mostly grower fizz but I'll take this anytime. Pale color with apple nose. Not much yeast or toast. Flavor of apple, butter and some other white fruit. Very appealing! Provokes thoughtful discussion if you can get Judy and Rhonda to stop slurping it long enough. — 12 years ago
