I like the fact that they still mark the bottle with the 1976 Paris Tasting award! Still a great go-to old school Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. — 9 years ago

Go with both fish and meat. Slightly fizzled and light initially and evolved to complex with depth. — 9 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

Floral and mature. Unlike the 90 I'd drink this now as I think it's starting to head south but still should last another ten years. Soft evolved nice of spices and plums. Lovely effort. — 11 years ago

When we open from 1987, we expect everything. One thinks of its conservation in cellar, the risk that it is passed or incredible, with the tannins having evolved in this vial ... The cork pulled-out, in perfect state and one knows in advance that one hit the jackpot and that it will be phenomenal. A coppery robe, a complex nose with aromas of black and floral fruits. In the mouth, an explosion of flavors that take the length and makes us go back in time. A very large estate for an incredible wine, to fall 😍🍷 — 8 years ago

Justin is a flavorful cab with a delightful and surprising finish. Not too sweet. Justin would be my every day "go to" if it wasn't $23 a bottle — 9 years ago

I love how in Spain you can go to a restaurant order a half bottle of Rioja and a 14 year old wine comes out aged perfectly. This is drinking great right now and can't imagine it's going to get any better. — 10 years ago

Great wine, if a port is to sweet, go with this full body, dark red wine, a hint of pepper, with a mix of Zinfandel, merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend. 2016 — 8 years ago

Super fun wine to get us ready for the Bordeaux Masters Class this afternoon.

Medium garnet core with bricking in the edges. Layered nose with some definite bret, not off putting at all. Notes of barnyard, leather and dried red cherries. Well integrated and balanced. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Very rustic on the palate with some dried red cherries, forest floor and cedar. Long finish. Enough finesse to go another year or two but why wait, drinking well right now. Drink till 2019. — 9 years ago

Of the 2 Bordeaux drinking the best tonight, but long term the Brane-Cantenac 2005 will outlive this wine by 10 years easy. While very complex, a fine touch a green is traceable.

A classic currant and forest floor nose, fall leaves abound with a spike of spice and a barely there green that while subtle is apparent.

The pleasure here is higher for its more mature tasted and feel, while the brawny 2005 is a better wine it was not as enjoyable to me and feel it will be another notch enter in 3 years, and likely 2 notches better in 5.

The elegance and feel on this wine is ready to go and will easily go another 5+ years. — 10 years ago
