9/10/2018 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 94 pointsExcellent NAPA wine. I didn’t expect tertiary notes from a 16 year old California wine. But this is trying to be Margaux–like. No bite or heat. Well integrated. Tenants totally resolved. Unable to assess longevity. Ready to drink now. |

7/15/2018 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 92 pointsSecond time tasting from a bottle perfectly cellared since release. We were under the impression this was made as a more modern style for Piedmont. The wine is very well balanced and elegant. The usual tar, minerality, rust, and pure lush fruit. No browning. This got to remain in bottle for a decade or two (?!)... not even close to prime drinking window. A bold wine for bold and patient men. |

1990 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La ChapelleSyrah more |
6/27/2018 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 95 pointsAlmost 30 years old and still in need of a decade or two in cellar. Don't get me wrong it is delicious and loaded but so backward. Olive tapenade, iron rust, beef blood, and tons of profound dark fruit. Tannins noticeable. If anxious to drink now, then would uncork with slow-ox in bottle for few hours rather than flash decant. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2004 Clarendon Hills Grenache Romasmore |
1/16/2018 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 93 pointsBerries, dark fruit, black cherries, plus vanilla and toasted oak. New world character on both nose and palate. Very enjoyable. While made to provide immediate drinking enjoyment, wine has a spine of acidity and some tannins to carry it 5 years may be a little more. Unsure whether it'll pick up more finesse with additional cellaring time. |

11/5/2017 - Old Vino wrote: NRWe had high hopes after reading Tanzer note. Explosive dense aromas, lots of black fruits, kirsch, and cedar. Enjoyable to smell but not as much to drink. Alc heat ruins it. Would rate 90. May be an awkward phase. |

1989 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/30/2017 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 95 pointsLast tasted 4 months ago so I suspect a bottle variation contributed to different experience. This one is considerably better. No notes at time of consumption but all I remember is rich and profound wine, both on nose and palate. This delivers a plenty of joy. Tannins noticeable but soft. Upside potential with further aging but ready to drink now; give it some air time, though. |

8/11/2017 - Old Vino Likes this wine: 96 pointsAgree with earlier reviewer this wine is of a grand or 1er cru caliber. Nose of mixed dark berries, cedar, plus some earth and barnyard. Layers of black fruits on palate. Finish medium plus. Try after 2021 or enjoy now following few hours of slow ox. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
