1989 Penfolds GrangeSouth Australia Shiraz Blend, Syrah more |
12/26/2022 - 89grange Likes this wine: 100 pointsI'm showing my bias here, probably only 99+... The wine attendant as he was pouring (he knew little about wine) commented immediately that the aromas were amazing. He was right. Raspberry jam filled the restaurant. Color beautiful. Youthful mouthful, round, full, integrated. A perfect effort by Penfolds. Cellar tracker says I have 2 left, hoping they are right, because I could only locate one more... Now is as good a time as any to open. Pam's birthday was celebrated well!!! |

2019 Castiel Estate Cabernet SauvignonHowell Mountain more |
12/17/2022 - 89grange Likes this wine: 98 pointsAn elegant wine with plenty of backbone. I will be waiting on the rest of my bottles but wanted see what the future looked like for this infant. The future is bright. This wine should have no trouble reaching drinking age (21 years) without difficulty. Dark fruit, a little green pepper on the nose but just a touch and no green flavors. If you get the chance, get on this list. This wine flirts with perfection and may get there as she grows up.... |

2002 Jones Family Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/8/2022 - 89grange Likes this wine: 97 pointsHaven't had a Jones in years.. Took this to my regular group tasting for bottle night.. Many of whom are French/burgundy boys. Showed amazingly. Was easily the wine of the night. Tannins were soft, fruit subtle but abundant. Long smooth finish. Velvet and berry. Beat out a 98 Clos Erasmus (but close by palate).. Too bad all the players in it's making aren't together there..(Abreu and Barrett) |

2/23/2022 - 89grange wrote: 90 pointsClearly corked.. So bathed the wine in saran wrap for 30 minutes. Place back in rinsed bottled and drank one night later. Could not smell any trace of cork aroma. Tasted remarkably good. Worth a try especially if you have an expensive bottle... |
