Stupendous. The tannins...where to begin. So velvety and plush. Coffee, licorice, and cedar. Such a good selection. — 9 years ago

Aromas of sweet oak right off the bat. Opening up well with a subtle, but nice fruit carried across the palate by the same sweet oak. Long, smooth, velvety finish... — 10 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

Bright ripe red fruit with dark berries that linger on. The acidity is well balanced but a bit firm, hints of vanilla in the tannins, that are velvety and mouthwatering. Full bodied wine. — 9 years ago

1994 very Bordeaux like on the nose, earthy, with tobacco, and cedar with a hint of mushroom. On the palate surprisingly youthful with bright red fruit, cigar box, sweet tobacco, velvety tannins that lingers nicely! — 10 years ago

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

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

Great-took an hour to open-silly and velvety-red raspberries, fairly light on its feet. Anise dill, nice herbal backbone. — 12 years ago

What a beautifully graceful wine! A bit muted on the nose (slow ox for three hours - perhaps I should have decanted) but one of the most amazingly expressive palates I have experienced for a very long time. All the elements in perfect equilibrium; one of the rare times that I would actually apply the term 'smooth' to a wine. Tannins still lightly peppery, poised acidity, and an insanely long velvety finish that kept revealing hidden layers of complexity. Like a Burgundian peacock's tail that keeps expanding, adding new layers of graceful shades and patterns to the rolling tapestry of flavour. — 9 years ago

Love the wine and winery - excited the damn Olympics are finally here - don't hate me but go Red, White and Blue - plus want the UK Rugby Seven team to do well (long story) - the wine is starter - been saving these babies -a winner from Napa - rich, spicy with velvety texture and a firm acid structure; elegant, balanced palette and legs built to last.a very long time - really SMILING!

Settle into this well worn, comfortable leather club chair. Cigar tobacco, leather, briar berry, and cracked rocks. Velvety tannins, earth, charcoal, autumn leaves, stewed berries. Beautifully light and delicate. A brooding force at one point, now refined over time to elegance. Close your eyes and find yourself in that club chair, a cigar smoldering next to you. And peace in your heart. — 10 years ago

Dry, semi young tannins, not quite as smooth as an older vintage. But wonderful velvety texture. Our pick for Christmas wine — 12 years ago

Absolutely magnificent! Of berries and chocolate, bright out of the bottle and velvety out of the decanter after a couple hours. Can't wait to enjoy this in 5-8 years! Cathy you're amazing! — 13 years ago
