So much potential just beginning to show up, the weight alone is worth the ticket fruit, mineral and acid all compacted and balanced-wish the meal lived up to it — 9 years ago

Good color. Muted nose at first but with a short decant, it started to show the dark fruit and leather notes that are typical of a good aged Bordeaux blend. Full body with a great balance. Long finish. — 10 years ago

Starts fruitier and then the tannins show up (firmly there but not too strong, giving a velvety mouthfeel). Some dark berry (Saskatoon berry?) and very dark cacao, not too much cacao or char. — 9 years ago

Tight as a drum but got better as the night wore on. Definitely didn't show the ripeness of 2006. Would have guessed 2001 if asked. But still textbook Roumier. — 10 years ago

We drank the 1980 Chateau Montalena Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with the 1980 Carneros Creek Turnbull/Fay Cab & Truchard Cabs. All three showing very well. All three acquired at release. The Montalena is very nice. It needed 15-20+ minutes to show its best. Great cherry, raspberry fruit. Perfectly mature now. Will hold for a couple years but peaking now. Enjoy if you have any of the wine. — 9 years ago

Some of these really old (like in the 60's) old vine Ridge Zins show more complexity than Cabs. This bottle was balanced and excellent fruit profiles that drinking near its peak. Very nice. — 10 years ago

compared 99, 00, and 01--01 a bit tannic and dense, 00 gorgeous and lighter, but 99 stole the show--in a perfect place and just a superb wine. — 10 years ago

Out of a magnum. The wine is a little rustic to start. After an hour decant, it starts to show its true colors. Dry mid fruits, some leather, dry earth and a nice long finish. — 10 years ago

1937 Lafaurie-Peyraguey: seventy-eight years had nothing on this still-fresh show-stopper. Lucid amber color, tangy marmalade-tinged flavor, medium-weight that is not tiring to drink at all. Threads the needle with perfect balance of honeyed intensity and bright acidity. One of the best ‪#‎Sauternes‬ ever to grace these lips. The perfect ‪#‎wine‬ when the wolves of life are howling outside your door. — 11 years ago
