A great start to a night of great food, wine and friends! Beyond the brioche you find caramelized oranges and green apple. Well balanced and Bubbles that continued through the entire dinner - spectacular wine! — 4 years ago

Long forgotten in some backwoods Colorado wine shop's mini-fridge, and procured for about half of market rate after 15 years of bespoke provenance rolling through alpine summers and frigid winters. The fresh flavors long having evolved... euphemistically "matured" into deep nutty butterscotch and aged gouda and pear cider on the palate, and a deep gold on the eyes. In all honesty, this Phoenix like anomaly pairs extraordinarily with an aperitivi of parm and salumi after a day's cross country skiing in single digit mountain air. — 5 years ago

Nose: fresh fresh flowers, with cherries,; almost rose in color; light medium weight, strong strong minerality, slight effervescence really pops in mouth. Cut through yummy salmon, pork loin, & various vegetables. Downed at Rouge Tomate on 15% off bottle Thursday-score! — 8 years ago

Fuck me! I have never had a Leoville Barton at this level! The nose actually made me hard. Probably smelled it for 15 minutes before my wife told me to eat my damn dinner. This is one sexy bitch. Total balance. Great complexity. Wanting for nothing. Give it a 30 minute decant and sit back and enjoy. I'd happily trade a 2010 Hundred Acre for another one of these. Not going to bullshit you with hints of truffle and smoke and other bullshit...this is just damn fine wine...thy I have had way too much of tonight😳 — 8 years ago

Medium gold color. Nose of wax, brown sugar, flowers. On the palate there is not much acidity, flavors of oxidized apples, exotic fruit, flowers, wax, and butter. Shows some evolution but in the same time great depth. A wine to pair with a meal instead of taking it by itself? Very good (89)

Made of Assyrtiko and aged 6 months in stainless tanks. Alcohol level of 14,5% — 10 years ago

9.1

The signature wine from the exquisitely tended Puente Alto vineyard, deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits and espresso notes, a blend of 91% Cab Sauv and 9% Cab Franc, aged for 15 month in French oak (66% new). On the palate pronounced flavors of black cherry and plum with herb notes. Firm grippy tannins, long finish ending with herb tobacco notes, still tight needs time. Tasting Sample! — 5 years ago

This iconic wine is always enjoyable at this age. Showing great complexity and mouthfeel.

Dry on the palate with black fruits, earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices, mocha, coke, vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

This 8 year old is drinking very nicely now and will age nicely in the next decade.

Needs 3 hours to open up properly and show some tannins.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

A great wine to have with good friends. Thank you David for sharing.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Delicious.

Silky, but with ample structure backing it up, with flavors of blackberry, bacon fat, and smoke. This has a ton of life ahead of it. Easily 10-15 years without breaking a sweat. — 8 years ago

The 15 vintage is still in barrel and will be for awhile longer. On the nose, bright, fragrant field of wild flowers, black licorice, cinnamon, vanilla, ruby fruits of; blackberries, blueberries, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries and dark loamy soils. On the palate; bright, fresh, ripe fruits that mirror the nose, nice deep spices, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, tobacco, graphite, soft leather, dry crushed rocks, edgy volcanic minerals and pronounced dusty/crumbly tannin structure. The long finish has beautiful ripe fruits with good structure, balance, acidity with a touch of strawberry cola. Photos are the other large old oak fermentation vats inside their estate and another perspective of their awesome terrace view. Notice on the label...no Merlot? The decided to rip up and replant their Merlot vines. — 8 years ago

If I remember right the solera used has wine much older than 15 yrs. thinking back this has a saline knife in its taste that could either taste hot or like a fine whiskey depending on your palate. New label btw. — 5 years ago

This wine was a gift from a friend and it is a nice surprise to me from Argentina. Known by the Malbec this Argentinian Cab blend (60% cab, 25% Malbec and 15% cab franc) has great notes of robusta coffee, tobacco and flower (hydrangea). In you chocolate and dark fruits. It’s higher alcohol level 14,5% ensures its long lasting flavour and a surprisingly round finish. — 6 years ago

Very young, but will be amazing in 10-15 years. Was really tight and closed but opened up very nicely after about 30 minutes in glass. Cassis, a little raspberry and tobacco — 8 years ago

This wine is a monster. When it opened, it had a lot of things to figure out, but did within 15 minutes. The wine was a lot of fig, some prune, a little mushroom both on the nose and on the palate with a very brief finish. This wine then vaulted to a dark mature red cherry wine on the front with good acidity, some oregano in the middle but a lot of dark fruit structure. The finish of this wine was increasingly tannic. Gave me some kind of sweetness in the middle to the finish. Kept on getting more youthful until about two hours when it just stayed the way it was. Nice wine. Has a crazy amount of life left. At least 10 years more. — 8 years ago

$313 bottle of opus one sat waiting in our wine cooler for 4 years (cost less than $200 then). Gentlemen at the winery told us 7 years would make for optimum drinking but could hold on for 15+ yrs. celebrating the new year so we opened it exactly 7 years later. Definitely needed time to breathe and open up but really enjoyed this Cali Bordeaux blend. Not super big/dark or highly tannic like some reviews stated but rather easy to drink in my opinion :) — 9 years ago
