The old Inglenook winery was the best cabs in the US. 1985 still alive and pure. Still dark red with slight bricking. Amazing at 30 years old — 9 years ago

This 2000 St Emilion was a delight. At first tight and tannic, after 1 hour it opened up and became smooth and plush. Lots of new french oak, but with time the black fruit dominated vstill primary. Mature, but 4 years from peak — 9 years ago

Felt nostalgic for the turn of the century. This 2000 Chanlis held up beautifully with time. Straw colored now and still alive. The once razor cutting acidity has mellowed, and now petrol cream brûlée secondary flavors swim in the mouth — 9 years ago
