  • MACDONALD Vertical Dinner (Saga): I wasn't convinced that this wasn't a slightly off bottle. It's more advanced than I would have expected for its age. Dusty and a bit tired. Cork likely disintegrated as there were still small pieces in the glasses. Certainly not the experience that the other note had.

  • The 2001 Mondavi Cabernet Reserve with the ‘To Kalon’ designation is even more majestic than the regular ‘Reserve’ bottling. It needed 30 minutes of air to fully open up but it had these amazing classic California notes of how I imagine a 74 or 78 would have tasted in their youth. Such an opulent elegance, herbal with deep black fruit and an amazing richness packed in a velvety wrapping. What a truly incredible wine! This baby has decades of life ahead, but irresistible to drink now!
