My reward to myself for spending 5 hours turning a package of flat boards into a kitchen pantry for my in-laws 😃. Needed several hours to breathe and I may have to give them a decanter next Christmas 😃. Inky purple purple and a candy cherry nose, cherry vanilla & oak taste with spicy pepper finish. Smooth tannins but not as lush as older vintages. Going to try to keep the other 2012’s for a couple more years. Happy Christmas everyone. — 8 years ago

Gorgeous. For a 2001, it's still giving plenty of red and black cherries that are complimented nicely by the toasty vanilla in the oak. — 8 years ago

Rich and savory, smelling of seaweed, must, and dark preserves with burnt sugar or caramel. There's an olivey savoriness on the palate that signals Syrah, along with some cured meat and pepper. Opens up with more jammy berry flavors after 30 minutes, with a nice kiss of oak. Old world meets New World feel going on here. Ripe and giving for days on the palate with lots of umami and sweet. — 10 years ago

Insanely well integrated, big, overripe jammy blackberry and cherry fruit up front is followed closely by bushels of briary herbs, tingly pepper, smoked meat, chocolate, blood, vanilla, tobacco, bergamot, blood orange, alder, saddle leather, earth, minerals, and just about everything else under the sun while somehow remaining superbly poised and balanced. A masculine juggernaut that just kept giving and giving new flavors over the course of several hours. Wowzers. — 10 years ago

What a treat. From the company to the antics of the cork removal, all was fantastic. Not surprised with some immediate mustiness on the nose, giving way to a rich but smooth aged blue cheese, mushrooms, soy sauce, earth, and just a faint hint of dried red fruit. Over the next 20 minutes the glass development was out of control, changing with each and every whiff and sip. Earthy umami, oxidative, and and slightly stewed reds to begin quickly opened to nice dried strawberries on the palate and nose, and advancing to moderately subdued ripened strawberries and cranberries- after 61 years and still kickin with fruit! Amazing. Then after about 20 minutes of rapid metamorphosis, it gave in and decided to fade to a very pleasant sipper...awesome. — 10 years ago

So... My dear friend Joe O stops by with the family... Can't believe how good this "Stoney Earth" is... Rothschild must have known something giving The Marcheses his vines... Maybe I should have waited a decade more to drink, but for what? Family, dear friends, great wine... I know Haupt is staring down and smiling... Only Limmer with us, would have made it better... — 11 years ago

Nice hints of eucalyptus, black currants and some spice on the nose. Elegant tastes of cocoa, mint, black currants, mocha, white pepper and a hint of oak. Tannins are still a little gritty (in a good way) giving this wine great structure and finesse. An iconic Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Paired great with good steaks tonight. — 8 years ago

Awesome 97 Insignia. The wine of the night and there were plenty others. Sharing this with all on our Monday night dinner group. I would say 100 points because it was. Guys like Rob Parker recently upgraded this to a 100pts. Big rich full and elegant stand out on this 20 yr old wine. Thanks David for giving me this Awesome Beauty. CB — 9 years ago

Not giving much at first, but opened up nicely after a couple hours in the decanter. Light tannins and probably drinking at peak, but should be fine for several years. — 10 years ago

Popped 1 of my 3 bottles to celebrate two friends turning 50 at Factory Kitchen. 50 year old California Cab with finesse, balance, and though I wouldn't expect it to improve over time, it was fantastic and quintessential old school cab from without a doubt one of my favorite California producers. Just lovely! — 10 years ago
