1973 Inglenook Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Cask C-5
USA, California
On its last legs...but they are pretty good legs. Entirely tertiary flavors that are reminiscent of a damp forest. There was something regal about this even as it slipped in and out of focus.

1997 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon
USA, California, Napa Valley
Seemed like a good wine but too big and too young for me.

1996 Pierre Sparr Gewurztraminer Sporen
France, Alsace, Alsace Grand Cru
Wow, what a surprise! I half expected this to be dead. It's been a long time since I had a Gewurtz. A Grand Cru nose exceeded the palate, which was no slouch either. Lychee, apricot and other exotics fruits and flowers were framed by a medium + body. It hinted at sweetness and made me crave cheese. Terrific.

1987 Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon
USA, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena
Kind of pruney yet drinkable. Barely hanging on.

1986 Bernard Burgaud Côte-Rôtie
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
Forgot that we had this 8 years ago. Gary must have brought it then. This bottle showed far better. The tiredness of the prior one was replaced by energetic fruit - probably a bit too much energy. I didn't get a lot of Cote Rotie character but enjoyable nonetheless with skirt steak with barbecue sauce.

2004 Albert Boxler Riesling Reserve
France, Alsace
With a hint of sweetness, this offered an interesting panapoly of flavors with surprisingly viscous body and great length. A touch more acidity would have lent better balance but that's a minor squack as this was impressive and from a plastic cup in the pool no less.

2009 Domaine Billaud-Simon Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
David's - from plastic cups - nice but young so the oak stands out. Seems poised to integrate into a good wine.
