A bottle as old as life itself. Birth year. Perfectly stunning condition. Still very fresh, rich and opulent with dark berries, dark coffee and slight spice yet drinks with incredible finesse and sophistication. Still young — 15 hours ago

California AVA. Easy drinker with dark fruit but not much depth. — 3 months ago

Shows the roundness and ripeness of the vintage. Yellow apple, lemon pith, fuzzy peach, candied apricot and a touch of honey leads to a gentle palette and consumption. Still has good acidity to provide tension in the mouth. — 10 months ago

Magnum from winery in early 00s. Perfect color and big, deep aromas of cassis, horsehair, menthol & sage and vanilla oak, A polished feel (new oak). Just smooth & effortless, hardly any tannin on the finish. No sediment! Shows liveliness of its younger years, big sweet fruit and slight alcohol (like old whiskey). Stunned it kept in perfect condition — a day ago

A seductive vintage leaning on black flavors of cassis, plums, graphite and olives layered on a velvety rug of fine tannin. Outstanding! — 7 months ago

Really explosive black flavors of cassis, berry and graphite. Maybe a tad fruit forward and less tannin than I expected and desire. Complimented with mountain rocks, leather and pine needle. But showing great at 9 years. — 7 days ago

Quality entry level German Pinot Noir. The fruit is dark and rich (currants, cherries) but not forward or dominant. Medium level and present acidity. Layered with black licorice and aging orange peel. A small touch of moist earth, bark and smoked spices. Would be interesting as a BTG selection — 2 months ago
