Thanks @romo for the BdM CC vertical of 08, 09, and 13. Here we have @Bill Bender taking his Delectable shot on one hell of a patio. The 08 stood out to me as being the standout evening, although that was debated between the tasters — 7 years ago

Going along with a themed vertical of Togni Estate reds, I had this 1980 Cuvaison Chardonnay to begin the evening. He was the winemaker at the time. Outperformed expectations...very honeyed in color, mounds of flint, another fun example of well stored aged Cali wines. — 7 years ago

1975 Chappellet Merlot made by Joe Cafaro (their winemaker after Togni and before Corison) The reason I drink and secure aged wines. The group's WOTN...my #2. Developed gravely with air and continued to change throughout dinner. — 7 years ago

A 2005 from a 375...decanted for an hour...still very tight. Delicious...light brett, herbs, Cabernet...big but refined mouthfeel...pairing with lamb tart was nails. — 8 years ago
