A superb Cabernet from the Napa Valley. Rich, elegant, with a warm woody nose and velvety roundness. Lots of fruit and vanilla. To be sipped with pause and circumspection. Had the 2009 vintage. — 10 years ago
Fantastic. The best Corison I have tasted so far. Long soft tannins that round up this velvety Cabernet. Glad I followed the advice at the winery years ago. — 11 years ago
1995 Pichon-Longueville Pauillac. Still showing youth after almost 20 yrs! Tight with dark fruit aromas of cassis and black cherry with hints of mint and graphite. Quite firm and structured with a long velvety, earthy finish. #wine #sommelier #france #bordeaux — 12 years ago

Drank for Sean's birthday. Drinking very well. Beautiful, velvety tannins and acidity. Leather, earth, mushroom, red fruits. — 10 years ago
Velvety mouthfeel with medium tannins. Robust red and dried fruits, finish of vanilla and graphite. Quaffable af. Would pair with lamb, rabbit, pork, cheese, hummus. Versatile. Honestly not worth it's price point. An off vintage from a delicious vinyard. Would not be hard to find a bottle 1/5 of the price. — 11 years ago
Double Magnum 1995 Joseph Phelps Insignia. Drank w K, Ash, and Sush at Lawry's Phelps dinner. This was the clear winner of the night. Perfect. Super lush and velvety. Awesome treat. — 11 years ago
Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 12 years ago

1999 vintage. Deep ruby hue. Amazing nose - full concentration, ripe black fruits, black plum, blackcurrant, graphite, sweet spice, touch of smoke. Still developing. On the palate, medium plus acidity and body, medium ripe tannins, medium alcohol and long lingering sweet finish. Velvety textural wine. Superb and still likely to improve in bottle. Really on it. Drink now until 2026+ — 10 years ago

A testament to a visionary winemaker surrounded by people who want to join him in living the dream. Leather and liquorice on the nose, blackberries in the mouth and a long, velvety vanilla finish. Merci, Jean-Michel Comme. — 12 years ago

One hour, at least, to open up. Velvety and luscious with some dark fruits and cedar and a touch of oak; wonderful mouthfeel. A favorite amongst the table. — 9 years ago
