Château Lafon-Rochet

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

9.1

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... — 11 years ago

Marston Family Vineyard

Spring Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

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. — 12 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 1999

Missing some brightness, but this beauty is still chugging along. Granny Smith apples dipped in Butterscotch pudding. Probably should have waited a day to drink after opening. — 11 years ago
