1997 Arrowood Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma Countymore |
4/5/2008 - wmcguire52 wrote: 90 pointsDeep purple color. Nice nose of cherry and mushrooms with cherries and cassis fruit predominating in mouth. Tannins still not tmed even after bottle opened for 12 hours. Otherwise the score would be better. |

1988 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
11/25/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 93 pointsThis was incredible. Lots of cherry and some plum, less papper than usual but strong hints of old wood and leather. The wine is very mature and silky smooth; almost no tannins, and the finish lasted forever. |

1989 Château MeyneySt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/20/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 92 pointsThis wine was much better than expected and improved as it breathed for 2 hours. It is full of plums and cherries; the node is OK but the finish is outstanding with nice earthy undertones |

1997 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
10/24/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 90 pointsShared with sister and brother-in-law with a comfort food family meal. Wine had typical nose of berries and earth with a hint of wet wood and leather. The tannins were very soft and the primary taste was of dried red fruit with a hint of honeysuckle. Less peppery than the usual Beaucastel. Defintely a nice wine, ready and mature. |

1985 Château Canon (Canon-Fronsac)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/18/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 91 pointsThis was a very good wine with initial slight herbaceous taste which dissipated quickly leaving soft tannins with a moderate nose of raspberries and plums and a full mouth and long finish of the same fruits with undertones of flint and chocolate |

2001 Cafaggio Villa Cafaggio San Martino Toscana IGTSangiovese more |
9/13/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 86 pointsTannins were soft but not enough fruit to cover the tannins......also an odd film on top of the poured wine.....after an hour the tannins receded somewhat to let the ripe cassis and cherry with a hint of tobacco out |

8/23/2007 - wmcguire52 wrote: 87 pointsNice nose. Tannins soft and more fruit than acidity (balance not excellent). OK finish with residual taste of black jammy fruit and loam. |
