The best part of waking up is Altenberg in your cup! Holy shit this wine is intense. It'll be too much for some, but for those who can handle it, there's unrivaled concentration. Like a massive, billowing golden sail ready to catch the wind and carry you to wherever you'd like to be. Heartening on this cold New York morning. — 10 years ago

The flagship of Clos Du Val is their Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1973 vintage was included in the Judgment of Paris. The 2011 vintage presents a similarly styled profile as the same vintage from Cathy Corison as well as Keenan. While it doesn’t hit the high notes achieved by those bottles, it’s a commendable effort considering the difficulty of the vintage. Olive tapenade and fire roasted peppers play well off the warmth of cedar and hot brick. The balance allows the currant and black cherry to sail through, leaving behind secondary notes of earth, graphite, coffee, and charcoal. — 7 years ago
Floral nose, with hints of ripe raspberries. Refined palete, which oozes Black cherries, coffee, and kirsch. Finishes sweet, and textured. Tannins will enable this to sail on for another 7 years or so. — 7 years ago

Licorice and truffle nose. Palate like taking a bite out the freshest plum you ever had. Spicy, hefty, long, delish. Tannins sail. — 9 years ago

Exceptional, one of the best wines we had the entire week. Touriga Nacional is not seen as a great grape by some in the Douro vinified on its own, but for my palate I think it has great potential in the US market as a single varietal. I love the Douro blends, by far the best wines I had on average we the blends. But I'm just saying.... As for the wine this had a velvety red robe color on the edges with a solid red core. The nose was so expressive, persistent but elegant. Very perfume like as it was by far the wine I spent the most time smelling. The palate was just as the nose was, elegant and persistent with red fruits like bing cherry, sweet tobacco, a touch of cream and a nice streak of earthy flavors sail to a long finish with very present but caressing tannins. Wish I could find some back home! — 12 years ago
20 years in, this is sheer brilliance. Still possesses an excellent fruit profile. Herbs and tobacco are beginning to emerge. Lovely structure on the palette. This example will sail on for years to come. — 7 years ago
Bright acid mineral modest sail citrus try this again — 8 years ago
Instantly pleasing nose of dark berry, currant, vanilla cream, and black tea with a touch of bergamot. Both extracted and dry on the palate. The finish doesn't sail on, but a more than adequate mid-palate keeps this interesting. Very food friendly and an easy drinker. — 9 years ago
Classic Kanzler profile...has set sail and left port...drink up before she's over the horizon — 9 years ago
I suspect the vintage on this is 2014, not 1987. Just guessing. — 11 years ago
A fabulous summer time standby. As an ice cold beer on a hot summer day is a standard so should be quaffing this. Drink up and watch the hours sail by. 49% chard 26% geur 25% Riesling. Yum Yum — 12 years ago

Super fruit forward but there is a hit of salinity that makes this sail. I also just love how sexy the bottles are. A solid and balanced brew. Never had a bad Venge. That being said I’ve only ever had two but both made me want more. — 7 years ago
