Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I drank this wine with a sushi chef who was awarded #1 sushi in USA in a contest in NY. Since then, he moved his sushi restaurant to Honolulu (lucky Hawaii). We drank Camus with Tomahawk ribeye at Ruth Chris Steak House. Wow! — 10 years ago

Back on form for this producer, who wandered in the valley of over extraction for a couple vintages. Great, brambly Zin, though not for the oak averse. It is really nice oak, though. — 10 years ago

Stunning but there is always one guest who decided to mix it with amaretto! Sacrilege. — 11 years ago

Produttori del Barbaresco

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2007

Who doesn't like the intro Produttori? The 2007, if you can find it, is the bomb. It's jacked up with with riserva juice that didn't make the cut. — 12 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

I was so nervous about proposing recently that I forgot my two birthyear wines I had saved for almost a year. Happy Belated to ME! Still celebrating the engagement too. A lot to celebrate! To those who are wondering if 86s are approachable yet, they are. This wine had been solid as a rock forever, but today it was seamless. Dank and pretty, intense cassis and black currant and blackberry reduction. Somehow fresh cut floral notes like lavender and cherry blossom. Fresh earth tone to it with an endless iron steel like mineral finish. Complimented by a rich wood tone. Perfectly softened tannins. This bottle was a milestone for me. — 10 years ago

Château Pontet-Canet

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

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. — 11 years ago

Château Mouton Rothschild

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Who am I to criticize a bottle of Mouton Rothschild? Amazing, no doubt. But didn't feel balanced. Great funk on the nose. High acidity and overall mild. — 10 years ago

Charlie Beatty
9.5

Awesome experience a 1991 Caymus Special Selection. Upon opening showing good fruit in the nose. Tannins have dissipated. Thought it might be over the hill? No Way! Tried with WW staff. A gift from Dr Bill! You know who you are. Great 25 yr old bottle of Cab! Big Wow! — 10 years ago

Château Calon-Ségur

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

Fantastic. Let it breathe for an hour. Drank w our two friends who own Manousakis Vineyard in Chania. Very special wine that is full bodied with soft tannins. Full of soft cherries and forest floor. It's the bomb — 10 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
