 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2006 Kirkham Peak Cabernet, Napa Valley
very strong wine. very unbalanced. extremely oaky. slight oxidization. also fruity. I think this is an off bottle. Worth trying another. - so - ws
13.99 *
1991 BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet, Napa Valley
porcini, cardboard, leather, beef, cedar, minty, menthol, raspberry, tea. Awkward but drinkable. - so - ws
29.99 **
1999 Dalla Valle Cabernet, Napa Valley
chocolate, blackcherry, very complex, very tight in the beginning with too much oak but fruit exploded in 4 hours. chalky, oak, med to long finish. Need decanting. They all said it smelled like Fuji apples, the powdery kind, and after cut open for some time. I didn't quite get this note. - so - ws
150 ****½
2004 Clos du Marquis, St. Julien
wet earth, blackcurrant, plum, licorice, spicy, slight hint of orange. - so - ws
39 ***½
