2007 Dark Matter ZinfandelHowell Mountain more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 91 pointsNot sure how someone could rate this an 84. Very nice Zin, better than the 2006. Bigger too. |

1995 Château d'YquemSauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 93 pointsGood, but not great. This vintage is just not up to the typical d'Yquem quality. |

1964 Charles Krug Winery (Peter Mondavi Family) Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage SelectionNapa Valley more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis wine takes about 20 minutes to open up - don't decant it. Then the fruit becomes alive. You need to provide time for the funk to blow off. It's pretty thin, but there is still some fruit in there. Patience young Skywalker. |

2007 Jonata Winery El Desafio de JonataSanta Ynez Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 91 pointsGood, but still needs a few years. Decanted for 2 hours but the fruit is still a little harsh. |

2008 Leonetti Cellar Reserve Walla Walla ValleyRed Bordeaux Blend more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 97 pointsWow. Just Wow. I decanted this for 2 hours, and it really surprised me. I expected it to be like the typical Leonetti, but this vintage really stands out. Huge, but smooth. I put it up against a 2008 Scarecrow, and it held its own. |

1975 Château Mouton RothschildPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 93 pointsWine is quite delicate. Thin at first, and depending on the bottle, it will have various levels of funk. Wait some time after opening, but do not decant. The fruit is there, but you must be patient. |

2008 Scarecrow Cabernet SauvignonRutherford more |

1964 Beaulieu Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Georges de Latour Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
3/25/2013 - NomadicEntrepreneur Likes this wine: 92 pointsFor those rating this wine low, I suspect they are not very versed with old wine, especially Napa wine. This wine takes about 20 minutes to open up - don't decant it. Then the fruit becomes alive. You need to provide time for the funk to blow off. I got carmel, cassis, dark cherry and the ever present old wine paprika. It's much more stable then other Napa wine from that year. |
