12/13/2014 - meld wrote: 91 pointsBeautiful Joly wine. Definitely in a perfect drinking window. Decanted for 1 hour before pouring any. Evolved throughout evening. Deep golden peach color. Finish was crisp and enjoyable. The somm at the restaurant called it a "unicorn" when she saw the bottle. Lol. A special wine. |

7/11/2014 - meld Likes this wine: 93 pointsAmazingly this wine held up. On the downward slope, but there was still fruit present. It was a outstanding example of age ability of WA fruit. If I see more bottles of this wine at auction, I will buy. |

1999 DeLille Cellars Chaleur EstateRed Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/16/2013 - meld Likes this wine: 91 pointsGood wine with strong cabernet character eventually coming out. Still had some fruit showing after being decanted for a couple hours. Also opened 1992, 1994, 2003, & 2004 the same night. This was the sleeper, not very implressive at first but rose to be one of the night's favorites. After the 1992, it was the next to be finished off. |

11/16/2013 - meld Likes this wine: 89 pointsNot sure if this one was an abnormality or if just past. Still great wine. Also opened 1992, 1999, 2003, & 2004 the same night. This was probably the least exciting of the group. Little nose left, fruit almost completely gone. |

11/16/2013 - meld Likes this wine: 91 pointsAmazing that this wine has held up so well. Very earthy with tobacco undertones. Still had some fruit showing. Also opened 1994, 1999, 2003, & 2004 the same night. The 1992 was the immediate frontrunner, dying off after a couple hours of being decanted. |
