"The 2015 San Leonardo pours forth with a beautiful velvety appearance and sultry dark garnet color. This wine shows a lot of life and dark fruit p...

"The 2006 Caravina (96% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot) is also surprisingly soft for a wine from this vintage, with melted tannins and lo...

"Impenetrable ruby-black. Splendid, harmonious aromas of cassis, vanilla and mocha. Rich, dense, velvety and caressing; flavors of blackcurrant and...

"The 1995 Rouge is a pretty wine, but it is also a touch faded, so I would suggest drinking it sooner rather than later. Dried flowers, mint, sweet...

"The 1989 Rouge is a fabulous wine. Deep, rich and powerful, the 1989 has aged so well. All the elements are so impeccably balanced. Black cherry, ...

"A largely academic data point for longtime collectors out there, the 1985 Rouge VDP de l'Herault is nearing the end of its life, but it remains im...

"Diamond Creek's 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a bit more open than the Red Rock Terrace. The blue and black-hued fruit is deep, rich an...

"Deep garnet/black core with thin deep brick rim. Again, the nose is quite broody at first: minerals, Morello cherry and liquorice, then a touch of...

"The 1990 Palmer has long been one of my favorite vintages; at 31 years of age, it is still utterly sublime. It opens wonderfully in the glass with...

"The appearance is similar to Latour ’97 and in fact the nose seems to have more vigour althought the new oak is not so seamlessly melded. Blackber...

"The 1997 Lafite-Rothschild is certainly one of the better First Growths of this somewhat maligned vintage. Gravel, pencil shavings and light tobac...

"The 2006 Château Haut-Brion has a more ostentatious bouquet than the comparatively reserved La Mission: quite feisty blackberry, briary, kirsch an...

"The 1999 Mouton-Rothschild, which Philippe Dhalluin told me was harvested in one week, has a forward, showy bouquet with more upfront black fruit ...
