1987 Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Reserve
5/15/2024 - YagerWine Likes this wine: 94 Points
This was nearly everything you want out of a bottle of mature Napa Cab. Great structure, dark fruit, nothing sweet or clawing - just pretty, mature cab with full-mouth complexity. Some mild vegetal notes on the back of the palate which prevented a higher score but this was great juice that stood its ground against a bottle of 2018 Rauzan-Segla that was way younger (too young) and bigger.

1998 Pertinace (Cantina Vignaioli) Barbaresco

Solid mature Nebbiolo. Tannins still have some grip. Bricking exists on the rim. Red fruit and dried leaves on the nose. Palate is very nice - sour cherries and some tea. Well integrated wine - if I were to be critical, it is lacking some complexity and was a tad on the dried out side but nothing that impeded enjoyment. This is in the zone - open in the bottle for about 30-45 minutes prior to drinking. This was good to go.

1982 Maison Leroy Pommard Les Vignots
5/1/2024 - YagerWine Likes this wine: 93 Points
Not as strong as the last showing but a really pretty, mature Pommard. Went great with duck in a cherry reduction. Opened a bit funky and thin, settled down with an hour of air and definitely needs to be closer to cellar temp. Well made wine that is still holding on.
