Goes down a treat while running the grill. Clean, Austrian refreshment in a tall can! The only thing missing is @Doug Burress & @Anthony Piazza ! — 9 years ago
Well with the extra dollars. This is one of my favorite cabs that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Smooth. Juicy. Amazing. — 9 years ago
Pure fruits and fresh acidity.
Nice.
Elegant syrah . — 10 years ago

Paired with leg of lamb and warm green bean salad. Mint sauce. Root vegetables. — 12 years ago
Fruit forward easy to like. Missing some structure but for the price it works well — 8 years ago
Classic example of 'WHY' Chablis has been quintessential Chardonnay for centuries . . . Citrus-Rock-Acidity. Only missing the needed plate of Wianno Oysters — 9 years ago
Red fruits, raspberries, earthy. More alcohol, no acidity. — 9 years ago
I miss the rusticity of the past, but there's no denying that this is cleverly made. Sweet, grainy and accessible tannins, pure cherry fruit, hints of blackberries and freshly cut oregano; this is nicely updated. I like it a lot, but there's just something missing... — 10 years ago
True Aussie Shiraz in a cooler climate style that I like, great with duck leg — 11 years ago
Went sublimely with the roast leg of lamb. Also simply a spectacular wine. — 11 years ago
Really good wine but expected more. Missing mid palate after opening and just muted in general. Only after 3 hrs did it start to show its potential. This isn't going to age forever but give it a few more years and cross your fingers. Very nice wine but I expect more from Haut Brion — 8 years ago
A pretty, elegant wine aging gracefully but missing the extra level of the best Bordeaux. — 9 years ago
If you don't drink more of this you are missing out — 9 years ago
Great pairing with our Mediterranean meal at dinner tonight including duck leg with pumpkin and fig - very much enjoyed! — 9 years ago
A nice intense mature wine needed time to open up as poured from a magnum - complex and rich - just missing some finesse freshness I would say but apart from this a beautiful wine — 10 years ago
Black fruit (blackberry, cassis), herbal (mint, dill), sweet spice (cloves, ginger), pungent spice (black pepper, liquorice), oak (vanilla, toast, smoke), kernel (hazelnut, coffee), animal (leather, blood), mineral (earth, tar). Serious Cab, complex, extremely youthful (tastes like a current release), structured (like old-school Napa or Rhone/Bordeaux) and built to last decades, paired now with grilled leg of lamb, a great wine to drink when you haven't been wowed by a Cab lately. — 11 years ago

Fun, juicy and spicy Chateauneuf with nice garrigue inflected red raspberry and blackberry fruit. Resolved tannins with sweet berry fruit herbs de prvence and a touch of mushroom. Missing just a bit of depth and length but great to have a mature Chateauneuf. — 8 years ago
