Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne 2016

This is one off the most silky wines there is, it’s perfection in the glass. But still in its junior life so 95 says it al. Rousanne all the way, love it. — 4 years ago

Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Insignia Estate Grown Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Absolute perfection! Firm, intense and concentrated, massive yet well-proportioned, with a dense, focused core of graphite, dried currant, blackberry, black tea, forest floor and blueberry flavors. Full-blown, finishing with rich, layered tannins that beg for cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. — 5 years ago

Fantastic 🙌

Château La Mission Haut-Brion

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

Pure perfection, the 1989 Château La Mission Haut Brion is at eye level with the glorious 1989 Château Haut Brion from across the street, but much wilder and rustic in character. Deep garnet coloured, the nose explodes with intense aromas of scorched earth, leather, liquorice, tobacco, charred wood, blueberry and blackberry jam, black currant, mushrooms and graphite. Full bodied, extremely dense and packed with concentrated, ripe black fruits, this stallion of a wine still manages to be absolutely seamless. Drink now until 2040 — 3 years ago

Nirvana. You have reached it. Now you can retire and start drinking flavored, carbonated waters 😁. You know, that last component makes a demonstrable difference: the people you share it with. Congratulations. 👏👏

Fave first-growth and the least demonstrative. Let the others shout and gesticulate.
