First bottle in a while. Nose is bit muted showing notes of plum and oak. Deep dark ruby colored. Ripe plum, with cassis and blue fruit briefly appearing mid palate, black licorice, pencil shavings, blueberry pie. Soft but grippy tannins. Holding together lovely and really growing into its age, with many years left. Lovely mouthfeel, enjoyable all around and easy drinking, showing once again why it’s a house favorite. — 9 months ago

This the 40 year tawny. This is more vibrant than most 40 year tawny ports. I loved this. — 2 years ago

9.1

2016 vintage. Last tasted 02.07.24 (9.4). Still medium-heavy body but the alcohol/flavors enduring a bit of angst currently. Hot alcohol hits front palate, then fruit, then 18-wheeler tannins. Tasting as if it fell apart and needs a magic wand to meld it all back together. Still, fairly impressive tasting the holy trinity simultaneously, yet separately, and with unexpected composure given the lack of quality pavement for this 1974 De Tomaso Pantera. 01.20.25. — 11 days ago

A San Benito County Cab … Old school style with low alcohol (13% ABV) and such unusual terroir. — 2 years ago

This is the ‘17 JH Wheeler Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard. First bottle of this wine. Blown away. Nose is of blackberry pie. Loads of black and blue fruit, ripe me juicy, supple soft tannins that give a superb mouthfeel. Rich creamy feel. Nice long finish of crème de cassis. Fantastic! Especially for a ‘17. — 9 months ago

2019 vintage. Ruby red. Nose a little shy. Red fruit, with some black coming in, minerality is strong, tannins still have a bite, but chalky and smooth, giving a nice mouthfeel. Needs a good decant now but I think this will have a good future in a couple years. — a year ago

At this point I’m betting it needs some more time to open. Red fruit dominant, though some blue is noticeable. Tannins tight and fully loaded. Medium finish. Different than other George III I’ve had, more red fruited. — 2 years ago
