Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2012

This was showy and delicious. There were beautiful mineral notes that showed after an hour in the decanter. — 10 years ago

Opus One

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

Kept a library of bottles from various special evenings: this is one of them - it was a gift from the winery after a visit there in the early 1990s — 14 years ago

Château d'Yquem

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Paul Costigan
9.1

1990: Corked, unfortunately. My mom had the best line, "It sure tastes better than it smells!" I recall what it was like on release, hard candy sweetness with a surprisingly light framework, particularly compared to both the '88 & '89 on release, and the crazy depth of the'90 Ch. Filholt Creme de tete, which was massively concentrated. This bottle still had oomph, yet wasn't all there. — 11 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1959

There are times when I am completely surprised by a wine. Low fill, destroyed capsule but the best bottle of Mouton that I have had pre 1982. This wine was singing. — 11 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Loads of fruit. A note of dried apple skin. Close to perfection but there is still plenty of time left in this bottle. — 12 years ago
