PROFILE: Unbalanced. Viscous Mouthfeel. Extracted Body. Moderate Tannin. Medium Finish.
COMMENTS: 1994 Horizontal tasting at Central Park Bistro
Notes: Good acidity and attack, flavors fans out in layers but a bit unbalance (probably due to poor storage?) This wine appears to be more matured than the others. Finish with a hint of Cognac and aged cheese.

1999 David Arthur Cabernet Sauvignon
(USA / California / Napa)
RATED: 12/10/2004
COMMENTS: High hopes and expectation, but the wine failed to excite. Very average quality. This wine has the typical initial Wow in so many California cab, it excite you in the first glass but failed to continue to evolve into a more complex and interesting wine. I have tried some other vintages of DA's wine including the 1147, but for some reason this bottle of 1999 is not up to par.

1979 Chateau Mouton Rothschild
(France / Bordeaux / Pauillac)
RATED: 10/27/2004
COMMENTS: My first Mouton, yes I was lucky to had this wine when I was 12. Don't remember much about the wine but the label that I vividly remembered. Tasted it again in 1999, I was a bit disappointed by the standard of Mouton. Not much to offer here, just a tired uninteresting wine.

(USA / Oregon / Willamette Valley / Yamhill/Carlton District)
CASES: 3,176
RATED: 05/24/2005
COMMENTS: I agree with the other raters of this wine. It wasn't very enjoyable. The wine was harsh and angular, high alcohol and abrupt. The wine feels too articitial. In burgundy standard, it is a village wine quality selling at grand cru price. Shame on the producer!
