Salon

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 2002

If you've not had a Salon with 20 + years on it then it is difficult to assess what this infant will grow up to be. Packed and stacked. At this stage of life it makes no sense for me to buy new vintages. — 10 years ago

Agree. The -96:es are also like screaming babies; and too early to drink.

yeah, I have had to face actuarial realities also. And it is hard to pay $350/bottle when 88 sold for $60! Salon is great, though.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

From my little house to yours... Drink this wine and life will be better. Young now, but don't worry. It just shines of pretty red currant, fresh herbs, violet/
lavender, potpourri, chalk dust (something mineral) very uplifting! Just lovely 😊

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Really special, still plenty of life, eternal tannins and acidity — 10 years ago

Harlan Estate

Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend 1990

The first vintage release from Harlan estate. Now I can say I have been lucky to try every vintage of this wine. Long finish, with a lot less of a ripe attack than anticipated. Long life ahead of this wine made in a different era in napa. #timetraveling — 10 years ago

Château Léoville Barton

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 1988

Still got it. A fantastic old Bordeaux with a classic nose and great flavor profile. A bit short on the finish. Tannins even still there for a few more years of life left. A great bottle. — 10 years ago
