Twisted Cedar

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1983

Where to begin. We ordered a bottle of 1982 Heitz Bella Oaks, which was corked. It was also their only bottle. We went back to the well and decided on this '83 Dunn HM, and we're not disappointed. All of the red fruit and cedar you expect, but tons of mint and cocoa as well. Really solid bottle. One of my top 5. — 10 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1955

Tasted blind. Tawny color, translucent with amber rims. Notes of black cherry, cedar, some spice and a little barnyard floor. Sweet fruit in the mouth, with tannins fully resolved. Guessed 1955 Calon Segur. Perfect looking bottle, the cork revealed this bottle was reconditioned by the Chateau in 2000. — 8 years ago

Château Gloria

Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2005

This is really coming along nicely since I first had it in 08. Smooth. The secondary cedar and tobacco are staring to come in. Good balance and structure. — 11 years ago

Incredibly intoxicating nose. Classic style Rioja that will only get better. Vibrant sour cherry with tobacco. Hints of cedar. Medium plus to long finish. Delicious!! — 14 years ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2004
