January 23, 2021 - Did an alternating Cabernet vertical flight of 2007 Charles Krug Yountville, 2008 Louis Martini Sonoma, 2009 Charles Krug Yountville & 2010 Louis Martini. Rated best to worst in order was 2007, 2009, 2010, 2008. I don’t believe any of these wines were intended to aged this long but they were in the back of my cellar and gave them a go. Surprisingly the 2007 Krug was borderline excellent and stole the show. The 2009 Krug was nice but not as good as the 2007 with less complexity and starting to fall apart. Both of the Martini’s were still alive but starting to fall off and showing hints of dull. I suppose the moral of the story here is drink these young, as intended, especially the Martini’s
June 25, 2020 - Drank at wine dinner and although it wasn't the best it wasn't the worst either. Actually holding up well for its age. The low score probably stems from drinking it next to JP Insignia and Silver Oak.
February 26, 2017 - Smooth and silky. Terrific wine especially for original purchase price.
August 31, 2016 - Tasted after the 2009, needs more time, vegetable overtones.
January 28, 2016 - Strong taste, not great
April 29, 2015 - Not holding up.
November 3, 2014 - bad after taste
September 24, 2014 - Curious grape must taste, fairly sure the bottle was not flawed, just dull wine.
September 13, 2014 - Smooth and complex, this is dry and softly tannic, with pleasant blackberry, black currant, and spice and cedar flavors. Ready to drink now. S.H. (12/31/2012)
