Lovely example of aged Cabernet. Totally under estimated how nice this wine this wine from my cellar would be. Big wine, supple, good character, definitely Cabernet. Lovely wine.

In a mixed style of the long aged creamy with good developed yeasty notes yet a background of fresh lively fruit and crispness.

One of best Alsatian Rieslings I have had in years. Wish I had built a meal around it to show it off. It got a bit lost in a night of many open bottles.

Nice Chablis. Did have time to really linger over it but the glass I had hit all the right points.

Past the drinking window but still slightly hanging in there. Developed more as the evening progressed. Paled in comparison to other wines on the table. Maybe prematurely age due to storage but I would not hold on to it any longer if I had any.

Got deceived thought this was an old Pinot still drinkable but past it’s prime.

Big wow. Totally missed the age of this, yes it shows age but has great character. Stored in my cellar direct from the winery, so I think it has fared better than for other tasters that got it through retail channels. A hit in the tasting.

Pure cherries, very youthful. Lovely wine deep color and lots of texture.

Lovely claret, nicely developed and in its prime. Cherry and tobacco, great finish, very supple.

Totally wonderful, was a hit at the dinner. There is something about a Cabernet aged and in its prime where the fruit and complexity are there and the structure is pure velvet. Timing was right to open.

I didn't bring it and had just had a bottle the night before from my cellar. Clearly the youngest red in the tasting but it did do well with the ragu, that said in a night of many great wines this was the last bottle finished.
