Left Bank Red Napa Valley Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon

Very solid Bordeaux blend with lots of fruit flavors and balanced oak influence. Still very young and well reward cellar time over the next 5/8 years. Top rate Napa Cab at a fair price.. Nice job Bruce.... — 9 years ago

Château Montrose

Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1986

Great bottle. Seemed a little one dimensional, though not in a bad way. The wine probably had about a year left, but not because of the juice itself but because of the cork quality. — 10 years ago

Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1964

Showing well for the age. Texture was pure silk. Good bit of fruit still left in the old bones. Can't wait to show Jean-Louis Carbonnier. — 11 years ago

Beaulieu Vineyard

Private Reserve Georges de Latour Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Pretty darn good showing with tons of dark cab goodness and and nice structure early on but as it warmed from cellar temperature and opened the richness of the fruit started to outweigh the acidity and tannin structure. I guess it's a matter of what you want from a Cabernet. The 'Old World' Brother In Law and the rest of his loyal crew who value smoothness over all else thought it was "like buttah". I had to side with the spacewrangler. While this wine was not over the top or over extracted it left me wanting more structure. — 13 years ago

Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 1998

Impressive wine. Dense rich iodine quality. In my book the tannins are resolved but it may have a few years left in it. This is the best of California akin to Diamond Creek. — 11 years ago

Domus Aurea

Upper Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

An aromatic-Cab lover's dream. Eucalyptus, tobacco, dark dark fruits, and well integrated oak. The palate matches, and the mouthfeel feels like any Napa Cab of high pedigree. — 9 years ago

Aaron I did not realize that 81 was a good vintage, maybe list in the shadow of 82 and 85, cheers

Yarivyo Wine Score the 81 is an average vintage but the wines are really great now and more approachable than vintages such as 1985, 1986, 1988 and 1990.

I actually find the vintages if the 80s approachable and delicious, I don't like Bordeaux to mature ... So I actually focus on the 90s these days , cheers
