I've had this bottle in the cellar for a LONG time (probably past peak)...waiting for the right occasion. Here is to ten eventful years of Builders Bargain. Jammy, delicate flavor. 13 years of aging has given this a very earthy quality. Decanted for 90 minutes but should get even more spectacular through the evening. Cheers! — 9 years ago

Like caramel dipped cherries, thick and grippy. A ten y/o baby. So much Mourvèdre power and big tannins. Fun to drink but could still use more time — 11 years ago

Nose has similar elements to 07: black cherry, smokey white pepper, licorice. Palate has balanced acid, smooth texture, fruity finish. Great tannins, will last another ten years if cellared well. I ❤️ Paloma! — 13 years ago

Great combination of richness and elegance. Still a baby can't wait to drink it ten years from now — 13 years ago

Rich dark berries and black cherry with signature Santa Rita Hills spice dominate the aroma profile and offer great complexity to compliment the multidimensional palate. Wonderful textures and flavors of stewed strawberries, cherries, and sandalwood offer a lovely experience. This is drinking very very well now and will be great for another 5 years easy. — 10 years ago

Given that some of the Montrose from the 1960’s is only just now starting to drink, this exotic 2000 drank very nicely this evening. It is composed of approximately 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petite Verdot. The wine was very dark, full of spice and kirsch like fruit on the nose. In the mouth it had lots of richness, more dark fruit and a powerful tannic punch. It will no doubt be even better in another five or ten years. — 11 years ago

2003 Vintage - 12 years on a fabulous expression of Mornington Pinot. Better each time and still many years to go. For those who say drink Aussie Pinot within 6 years, you are missing out! — 10 years ago

Very much alive and youthful in coloration, mint, fennel, rose petals and not much in the way of funk just yet. Would be an excellent choice with lamb or game with some wild mushrooms or truffles to bring out the tertiary components a bit more. This particular bottle in ten years could be fantastic if you prefer more dankness. — 11 years ago
