95 Points

Wednesday, October 8, 2014 - Smoky, tar, currant nose with hints of marmite and mineral. Dark and firm with grip and freshness. Long buttered toast finish. Tasted blind
5/5

The only Californian of the tasting playing to the sensibilities of the French challengers. It was tough to call the region on this one.

    9/27/2016 11:06:00 AM - Poured in a blind tasting themed on celebrating the classic 'Judgment of Paris'. As a professional, one of the most significant tastings I have hosted or had a chance to participate in; Even as a professional, I may never taste a collection of wines such as these again...Classically vinified, pre-micro-oxygenation, etc. What a treat.

    Included wines were:

    Lafite 2005
    Haut-Brion 2004
    Latour 2003
    Margaux 2001
    Torres Mas la Plana 1994
    Dominus 1995
    Shafer Hillside Select 1992
    Opus One 2000
    Stags Leap Cask 23 1997
