A Big Night
-Hundred Acre, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kayli Morgan Vineyard, 2004 (This bottle was dissapointing. It was very good, but not phenomenal. The one redeeming quality, for the price, is that was unique. It had a Bordeaux-ness to it and after a day or two, I read Parker's notes, who likened it to Pomerol producers Le Pin and Petrus. I don't have much experience with any of those producers, but the bottling was very good and unique. Not good enough to buy it again at $200+ a bottle, but I'm glad that I do own some a couple of bottles to drink over the years.)
-Chateau Monbouquet, Saint-Emilion, 2005 (This was phenomenal! It blew away the Hundred Acre Cab, and it is 1/3 the price. It smelled of coffee and dark chocolate. While I loved it, I won't be opening another bottle for 10 years. It's going to be a highlight wine of the vintage, if it isn't already.)
