1999 Gundlach Bundschu Cabernet Sauvignon Rhinefarm VineyardSonoma Valley more |
11/18/2016 - TEDL Likes this wine: 92 pointsAll I can say is wow. A bit aggressive when we opened it but mellowed nicely after decanting for about an hour. Ruby red, great flavor with nice tannins. Surprised us. |

2002 Sequoia Grove Semper V EstateRutherford Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/10/2009 - TEDL wrote: 91 pointsDue to 'indecision' we had taste off between this wine and a 2003 Joseph Phelps Insignia which we believe is a comparable bottle. Decanted both for an hour and both stood their ground quite well with great colors and flavors. When it came to the meal (Lamb Chops, Haricot Vert, Potatoes Dauphinois) we thought the Semper V was a bit better at cutting thru the fats than the Insignia. Both good bottles and remain our two favorites. |

9/14/2014 - TEDL wrote: 90 pointsStayed tight for quite a while although it was decanted for 90 minutes before we had our first taste. By the end of the meal (3 hours after decanting) it finally has relaxed and the complex flavors came thru nicely. |

1/1/2007 - TEDL wrote: 90 pointsSemper V is one of our favourites. This one is great, deep colour and flavour(hints of cherry and liquorice). Still a bit on the young side, can't wait to taste after a few more years in the cellar. The 1999 vintage is one of my wifes top wines. |
