2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select
4/8/2024 - DCHawkeye Likes this wine: 98 Points
One of the only dozen or so non-Old World wines in my stash, this makes a pretty competing case for dipping into Napa every couple decades. This is probably at, or very close to, peak. Decanted to start dinner, this is a beautiful Napa cab.

1988 Château d'Yquem
3/16/2024 - DCHawkeye Likes this wine: 99 Points
The d'Yquem did double-duty at a milestone birthday dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, paired with first the foie gras course and then again with desert. Absolutely stunning, the sweetness balanced perfectly by that incredible d'Yquem acidity. Tied with the '89 Montrose for my wine of the night.

1989 Château Montrose

Opened with no decant for a milestone birthday dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, this was a stunning bottle. Gorgeous wine at 35 years. Neck and neck with the D'Yquem for wine of the night.
