2009 Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Tench Vineyard
4/22/2024 - bordeaux4wino Likes this wine: 94 Points
Pleasantly surprised for how this wine has held up over the past 15 years. (And I've owned it since release...) Still quite a lot of depth and concentration of dark berry fruit, black currant, eucalyptus, vanilla and leather. A lot of complexity here. Drank half at dinner and then finished it the next afternoon and it really held up well overnight. Tannins are lush, but very smooth and broad at this stage of development. I would feel comfortable with another 5-7 years in the cellar, but it's drinking beautifully right now.

2004 Gianni Brunelli Brunello di Montalcino

Excellent wine that held up well after 20 years...although I may have done well to drink this 2-3 years ago. Still, nice moderate, but firm tannins, elegant red fruit of cherries and well developed characters of leather, butcher shop meat, herb and tea. Had to finish the bottle several hours after we started...there was no letting this sit for a second night.

2010 Trefethen Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Knoll District
1/14/2024 - bordeaux4wino Likes this wine: 93 Points
Drinking VERY well...I was pleased with this bottle. Tannins round and velvety. Fruit still dark and luscious...blackberry, cassis, currant. Oak very well integrated and alcohol, as always with Trefethen, moderate and well-balanced. I wish I had more!
