This Virginian wine was just beautiful! It smelled like a cherry pop tart, but one that you knew your great grandmother made deep in the cellar after kneading the dough all day and filling it with fresh cherries and served with some Brie on the side. More red fruit on the nose, raspberries, and again, it had this creaminess to it, where you truly could pair this with anything. As it opened, the acid made the red fruit brighten, so the second glass was different than the first. Really glad my gal pal was able to join the wine club and get her hands on one of these!! — a month ago

Extreme value.
BF that knows wine: There are wines that you’d only date and there are wines you’d want a relationship with and this is a relationship wine.
Not too fussy, very consistent, medium bodied but with some spice. Financial goals are aligned. Not a trophy wife wine - but someone you’d be proud to introduce to your friends .

Me: 👀 idk what that’s description is about bc I’m in this relationship and those characteristics don’t describe me. But my thoughts: I’d buy again and it pairs well with White Lotus. I’m going to bring it to my “2023 intention setting dinner” with a group of girlfriends. Will update if it pairs well with intentions. — 2 years ago

At an old friends place in Scarborough on Moreton Bay having a wonderful seafood meal. The nose is textbook Art Series with ripe grapefruit, citrus and pear Toasty notes. The palate shows that rich oak is resolving with the powerful fruit - profound intensity which is a great match with the mornay seafood. Great persistence and length in this 3rd of 6. Hope I have the patience to have just one each year until 2024. — 4 years ago

I had this a week ago but didn’t take any notes at all at a friends tasting last Sunday afternoon. Have always been a huge fan of Dominus and this was from an exceptional vintage. I recall an excellent left bank Cabernet dominant style but presented as a Napa style - rich and plush but not overly so. Thoroughly enjoyable. — 6 months ago

15 person Champagne tasting with friends.

First time having their 06. Good but not nearly as stunning as their 02. Excellent mix of reductive & oxidative qualities. — a year ago

This 49 years old LLC was in the first sniff a bit dull, but then miraculously this grand master of BDX stood up and showed its pure class. Ok it’s not a young bastard but what a pleasure to drink with friends. — a year ago

No notes. Week of hosting friends at home. Superb vinho Verde with great value, nice minerality and pureness of the acid backbone. Will recommend 👍🏻 — a year ago

Still doing great after 11 years. This could easily go another 2-3 years I think. Dark purple with faint hints of oxidation starting to show up. Plum, cherry, cola, tobacco, notes of coco, cassis, and blackberry on the palate. A hint of vegetal greenness on the nose, but otherwise plum and floral notes on the nose followed by tobacco and pepper. — 5 years ago
