  As of 2014, this bottle is clearly long gone.

  This is a wine from one of our old favorites: Cosentino. It was my very first wine club--a former girlfriend (don't tell my wife) took me to a wine dinner with Cosentino wines where Mitch Cosentino waxed poetically about the vino and the food. This is a dessert wine made from Semillon, one of the classic grapes from Bordeaux. Once again, Cellar Tracker users say this should have been consumed by 2008 (?!). Well, it certainly is dark--darker than ginger ale (even darker than the glass shown above). Intense nose of honey and more honey. It makes a powerful first impression on the palate, almost overwhelming. It just takes a while to get used to, I guess, since this turned out to be one of the better dessert wines I have had this year. Based on the somewhat negative comments on CT, I think this one just needed some more time to intensify a bit.

  Cosentino Winery Visit (Yountville, Napa Valley): Rather sauterneslike but without the depth. Some cloying to the wine. Nice tropical fruit notes. 86-87 points.
