This is the '05 so-called "Blue Label" which isn't very blue, but I digress. I was a little rough on the last Lillian I opened, which I believe was the '06 regular bottling. It was a might underwhelming. This bottle has more highs than lows. Inky black color. Swirl the wine and you can't count the legs in the glass. Absolute knockout nose of licorice, spice and Dr Pepper. Best part of the experience for me. SO inviting. The downside is that the fruit is a little muted. Still some black fruit essence, however. And a bit hot on the finish. I guess I would still say it's best days are in the rear view mirror, but I'll hang on to a few to revisit somewhere down the road. Apologies to @Bill Bender for the absence of breasts in the photo. — 8 years ago

2014 was a step up for this estate's Rosso. The nose is distinctly Sangiovese where the sangio markers count, but there's a "sweet funk" that's eerily reminiscent of the Côtes de Nuits. A1 — 8 years ago

Got at Total Wine in Milford. Awesome everyday wine. On par or better than apothic. — 9 years ago

This has knit together nicely, with a core of acidity holding it all together. Fun, and a slam dunk pairing for smoked brisket. — 9 years ago

This was very elegant and exotic at the same time. The texture is amazing, and the aroma reminds me of banana cream pie. If this is what higher end WA state chard tastes like, count me in! — 8 years ago

Pear-citrus on the nose. Lemon grass, mild acid, nice minerality @the beginning of the bottle. But - Wow this mellows with some time. Palmelo on the nose. Smooth pear with a little citrus, a little sweetness. Love this one! (Chicken curry w/ rice) — 8 years ago

Amazed! Quite a departure from the the '81. High thread count and long. 3 hour decant helped and the nose became more and more expressive as the night wore on. A memorable beverage. — 9 years ago

Nice blend. Deep berry fruits, blueberries, blackberry, and a hint of brown sugar sweetness without being a sweet wine. Delish! — 8 years ago

I can always count on Saumur to pull through. This one is pretty standard for the terroir. Can't complain but I'm hunting for deeper nuance! — 8 years ago

2014 has come to fruition!! Brown sugar beaches awash in maple nut, peach stone, amarula fruit and cinnamon bread aromas knitted tightly with golden malt thread. Perfect texturally, velvety brown sugar, cedar, sweet tobacco, vanilla bean, chocolate milk, vanilla extract on applewood. The full spectrum! — 8 years ago

I think I can safely say I can count on one hand the number of Malbecs that I've really enjoyed from California.. This is definitely one of them.. — 9 years ago

I can count the vintage Sherry's I have had on one hand and this rich Oloroso deserved to be drunk unblended. — 11 years ago
