Spottswoode

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Delicious and savory in every way. Beautiful well balanced wine that is spot on. Went amazingly well with the porterhouse! Must decant for best drinking.... — 9 years ago

Produttori del Barbaresco

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1991

Bought on a bit of a whim, this was perfectly fine without a real wow factor. A quite lovely nose of beef stock, strawberry jam and roses, but the palate was undistinguished and acidity overwhelmed any initial fruit. Food is a must and even then it's a bit awkward. — 10 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2000

I wasn't sure about this one as we bought it a "little later in life" - but I was pleasantly surprised by the nose and the cork was in great shape, do it must have been store just fine. Drinking it was even better! Paired this with a lovely ribeye and mushrooms. Yum!!! It was great! — 10 years ago

Zonte's Footstep

Lake Doctor Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2013

It must be the season. It’s time for another cracking Shiraz. Again a very fruit forward style. This time with lashings of mulberry and raspberry predominating on the palate. Lacking a little mid-palate complexity, even after a 3 hour decant. Just hints of dark chocolate bitterness and black olive before the fine but drying tannins take over, driving a long finish. Not too dissimilar in style to Hannah’s Swing, just not as well composed. Nice, but not outstanding. — 10 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Plum and berry with a very good balance soft tannins and viscous on the tongue. So well balanced the alcohol is almost invisible. Must buy more.

Jones Family Vineyard

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This is hands done amazing I actually bought two bottles by accident I usually don't buy two of the same wines with never having them before, this is rich full bodied and wonderfully tannic full of flavor and jammy fruit and blueberry pie flavors right out of the bottle ! A MUST BUY AND TRY! Just had again tonight even better than before just a perfect 10! — 11 years ago

Incredible, but I must say that this needs more time!
On the nose, blueberries, blackberries, and the textbook Cos Indian spice signature.
Palette is toasty, with ripe tannins. Beautiful weight and sensuality, with pristine acidity. It's immature, and therefore needs a lot of breathing space, if you pop the cork now. A super effort, with an excellent trajectory.

Dom Pérignon

Brut Champagne Blend 1964

Dom Perignon 1964, in magnum, shared today with Jacques Pepin on a Global Express 5000 to the Aspen Classic. I brought a Spanish porron (i.e., wine bong) and Jacques was game. Incredibly, the Champagne still had bubble, along with terrific hazelnut, brioche flavors. The landing was extra smooth and Jacques – In his cool broken English – said he thought it was because the flight attendant must have slipped him some of the DP. Fine by me. Best pre-1970's Champagne I've had.

Moist and juicy, plenty of blackberry fruit with flavorful acidity. It has that mouth feel taste I like, albeit soft, but a smoky wood edge. Tannins are light and sweet. Great value
