Cloudy dark core with crimson rim; nose shows rust, tobacco, dark fruit, leather, bell pepper, red currants; some sour fruit on the palate, higher acid for Cabernet, loamy, leather, lighter on fruit, resolved feel to it, some edginess to the tannin; people torn between CA and Bordeaux, I was in Oakville '91, this bottle just didn't have the pedigree this wine normally shows.

See through maroon; high toned nose, sweet strawberry, candied roses, almost cherry bubblegum, elegant, floral; firm tannin, fine but grippy tannins that clamp down on finish, sweet middle, elegant cherry liqueur and rose water; way too young, why did this get opened?

Cloudier dark maroon, bright rim; some stank on the nose, nutty, dark fruit, whole cluster, cured meat, sour dark cherry, plum, youthful and reduced; big on the palate, powerful, earth, plenty of grip, dark fruit that is big but has a certain plushness to the acids, strong tannin on finish; not showing well, probably needed a day or more of aeration and more cellaring.

Dense dark reddish violet, bright maroon rim; dark red fruit, slight tar, raspberry, dark, kind of hard; liqueur on the palate, high alcohol, sweet; good, but sorry I didn't spend more time with this; called 2010 Pra.

Red core with duller rim, orange hues; elegant, floral, roses, soft sexy cherry, strawberry, some new oak; good intensity on the palate, focused, just a tad short on the finish; overall delicious.

Orange core with sediment; rusty nose, root vegetables, mushroom, Grenache nose, slight bitter red fruit note, stinky, elegant, refined, sappy, almost Pignan-like but the stink made me call '95 Pegau.

Dark maroon rim; horsey, some age, CdP, bitter Grenache note, sour red fruit, raspberry, classic, good fruit and richness, amount of glycerin on the palate suggests younger; called '05 Pegau.

Bright pinkish ruby; intense floral and strawberries, great core of cherry, lighter and elegant with firm mineral spine; spicy core of fruit and mineral on the palate, young; needs lots of air if opening now; delicious.

Bright ruby; light and elegant nose, young, sexy, a little cinnamon, has yet to put on some weight, higher alcohol, riper vintage; a bit simpler at this stage but tasty.

Dark ruby with lighter crimson rim; some reduction on the nose, cedar, slight vegetal note, hard red fruit, lots of intense cherry; good tannic grip but more accessible than the '10, not as much oak either; very good.

Golden yellow; golden apple, lemon curd, classic, Burg like with fatness of New World, still good acid drive but softening with its age; very good.

Dark core with maroon rim; brick dust, masculine nose, sour cherry, roses, classic Sangio, good enough to be Brunello, intoxicating nose; nice texture on the palate, good mid palate, pleasant grip though very drinkable, dried and fresh cherry, touch of oak, noble; very good.
