Monte Bello Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1965

Popped 1 of my 3 bottles to celebrate two friends turning 50 at Factory Kitchen. 50 year old California Cab with finesse, balance, and though I wouldn't expect it to improve over time, it was fantastic and quintessential old school cab from without a doubt one of my favorite California producers. Just lovely! — 9 years ago

E. Guigal

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2010

Fresh grapefruit, melted bakers chocolate with undisolved sugar, rind of plum and BlackBerry (if they had rinds). Blueberry when I swallow.

Later, it's turning into sugarless cold brownies with blueberry jam

I don't taste any yellow or green, only black, purple, Brown and hints of red.

"1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)"

so my darling and I
make love in the sand
to salute the last moment
ever on dry land
our machine has done its work
played its part well
without a scratch on our bodies
and we bid it farewell

starfish and giant foams
greet us with a smile
before our heads go under
we take a last look
at the killing noise
of the out of style...

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2009

Having had this one a few times (2012,14), this is one is really finding a nice balance with more time. Fruit is turning away from Pom/Cran toward soft cherry/rasp...medium body and length, this still has nice tannin structure. One bottle remains - Costco $22 — 9 years ago
