| 2010 Blankiet Estate Proprietary Red Wine Paradise Hills Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley) | 11/28/2023 | Old Vino | 95 |
Very well made bordeaux-style wine. Tiny bit of petite verdot and cab franc goes a long way. Not even close to peak. If planning to drink now, you ought to let it slow ox for few hours. (415 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 2010 Kapcsándy Family Winery Cabernet Sauvignon (Grand Vin) State Lane Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley, Yountville) | 9/10/2023 | Old Vino | 93 |
Pleasant wine to drink. Perhaps too young to expect secondary notes. (515 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 2003 Clarendon Hills Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham (Australia, South Australia, Fleurieu, Clarendon) | 7/21/2023 | Old Vino | 94 |
What a pleasant surprise! This Aussie cab had aged gracefully. Bottle cellared since release. Lots of dark fruit. Tannins had resolved. Drink up now. (274 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 1982 Château Gruaud Larose (France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien) | 5/6/2023 | Old Vino | 95 |
Tannins mellowed out. Barnyard, cedar, dark fruit. Amazing on palate. Finish medium plus. (2977 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 1995 Domenico Clerico Barolo Percristina (Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo) | 3/14/2023 | Old Vino | 94 |
Having tried '96 vintage, this bottle stood out too. Still in need of air time of few hours. Could not tell it was Barolo from nose only as we waited for that hint of tar but none after 2 1/2 hours air time. Chewy and meaty, very pleasant on palate. excellent.

| 1999 Alban Vineyards Syrah Lorraine (USA, California, Central Coast, Edna Valley) | 3/26/2022 | Old Vino | 95 |
This was surprise of the night! Went head to head with '99 Tardieu Laurent Cote Rotie and lived up to competition. Nose out of this world. Lots of sediment needs decanting initially suspected damaged bottle but color settled to clear in 30 minutes post decanting (313 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 1997 Bryant Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (USA, California, Napa Valley) | 3/26/2022 | Old Vino | 96 |
Have heard many wine critics describe vintage '97 Napa wines as high sugar, lower acidity, with short aging potential. At an age of 25, this bottle was excellent. For someone who enjoys olive tapenade, the nose was heavenly. Balanced, integrated, not a bit of heat. Generous dose of dark fruit. Tannins have completely resolved. Perhaps at or just past prime drinking window. (1586 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

| 2010 Colgin IX Estate (USA, California, Napa Valley) | 12/27/2021 | Old Vino | 96 |
petit verdot and cab franc gave this bottles extra dimensions. I would not be surprised if this wine ends up drinking like cheval blanc or pichon baron one day. If planning to drink before 2030, then give it a prolonged few hours air time (1740 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |

| 2010 Blankiet Estate Proprietary Red Wine Paradise Hills Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley) | 4/28/2021 | Old Vino | 96 |
On same level as 2010 Harlan or Kapcsandy. Nose of a young Boardeaux. Really loaded with profound complex layers of joy. Tannins prominent. No doubt about longevity. Would re-try 2030+ (1280 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
| 1999 La Jota Cabernet Sauvignon Anniversary Release (USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain) | 3/26/2021 | Old Vino | 94 |
Really pleasantly surprised with this bottle. Black currant and dark fruit. Delicious. A little pungent at first but not noticeable after 1/2 hour decanting. Oak/cedar but not in excess. Tannins completely resolved. I suspect drinking window is approaching a near future end. Drink up. (1200 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ |
