The Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1981 is a traditionally crafted Barolo from one of the oldest and most respected producers in the region. Known for its long-aging potential, this wine would have matured over the decades to develop complex tertiary aromas of dried red fruits, leather, tobacco, and earth. The 1981 vintage was marked by cooler conditions, resulting in structured, balanced wines with firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Borgogno's commitment to tradition ensures a wine that reflects the true character of Barolo and its terroir.

1981 Robert Mondavi "Reserve" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ((high shoulder fill, oxidized capsule)
You can't talk about Napa Valley wine, or any California wine for that matter, without mentioning the incredible debt owed to Robert Mondavi. His passion and ingenuity are synonmous with Napa's rise. The winery's reseve collection wines are designed to be the ultimate expression of terroir, using the finest fruit from the best blocks, and carefully fermenting them to create elegant, long-lived wines. Even at 30+ years old, a well-stored bottled of Mondavi Reserve Cab can show cherry and plum fruit, along with a cadre of secondary nuances.

92 points Vinous: "I’ve always had a soft spot for the 1981 vintage as well as these two châteaux [Cos d'Estournel and Pavie]... The Cos is a textbook rendition of the old style at the châteaux, with intense cigar box, dried cherry, licorice and pipe tobacco character and smooth, harmonious tannins that have all but faded away. (JR)" (08/2015) K&L Notes: 4 stars Michael Broadbent: "Most recently, actually showing considerable charm, with lip-licking acidity at the exponential tasting. A very attractive wine..." (12/1998)

Wine Advocate: "Medium ruby with no signs of age, this wine offered up a light intensity, spicy, elegant, innocuous bouquet, exhibited ripe, medium-bodied, attractive flavors, and a compact, angular finish. (RP)" (03/1992) K&L Notes: In 1900, when Georges de Latour decided to buy a small, four-acre property in the town of Rutherford as a surprise for his wife he, perhaps unwittingly, purchased a piece of Napa Valley history. Under the direction of André Tchelistcheff, the winery would fast become one of California's preeminent producers.

97 points Wine Spectator: "No tasting note given." (07/1987) 91 points Wine Advocate: "In weight and texture, the 1981 Margaux is closest in style to the 1979. It is an outstanding wine, even in the company of the monumental wines of 1982, 1983, and 1986, although it does not have the power and weight of these vintages. It is still very dark ruby/purple-colored. The aromatics suggest ripe cassis fruit, spicy vanillin oakiness, and violets. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, concentrated, tannic, and extremely long. It is just beginning to open a...

94 points John Gilman: "In my days as a wine merchant, I drank an awful lot of bottles of the 1981 Cheval Blanc, as I always found this to be one of the top wines of the vintage and its price back in the day (and I know I am really dating myself here) was often around forty dollars a bottle! It was pretty easy at that price to reach for this wine off of the shelf to take home and elevate a midweek dinner with its beauty and elegance! At age thirty-five, the wine continues to drink with great vibrancy and complexity, wafting from the glass in a constellat...

97 points Wine Advocate: "The 1981 stood out as slightly superior. Winemaker John Duval always felt this was a tannic style of Grange, but the wine has shed its tannins, and this is one of the few vintages where the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon was above 10%. Sweet notes of creme de cassis, cedarwood, charcoal, and barbecue spices are followed by a full-bodied, opulent wine displaying heady amounts of alcohol, glycerin, and density in its full-bodied, skyscraper-like texture. I was drinking this wine with great pleasure in the mid-nineties, yet here ...

The Pio Cesare Barolo 1981 comes from a vintage that produced more delicate wines, with less power but good aging potential. Pio Cesare, a historic producer known for its traditional winemaking, crafted this Barolo with an emphasis on structure and longevity. After more than four decades, this Barolo would exhibit complex tertiary notes of dried fruits, leather, tobacco, and earth, with softened tannins and well-balanced acidity. It represents a classic, long-aging Nebbiolo, showcasing the estate’s commitment to tradition and Barolo’s unique terroir

91 points Wine Spectator: "Polished, big, dark-colored, with rich and opulent aromas and flavors and loads of tobacco, cedary and berry character. (JS)" (10/1994) 90 points Vinous: "The 1981 Gruaud Larose is a bottle that I chose when proprietor Jean Merlaut invited me to pick a mature vintage. Though it is now a rather forgotten year, I have fond memories of the Gruaud Larose and I was intrigued to find out if it was still drinking well. The answer is yes. At 37 years old it has an exquisite, understated but very well defined bouquet: briary, cedar an...

Bid on this 5 liter of 1981 Baron Philippe de Rothschild "Mouton-Cadet" Rouge in original wood.
Starting Bid: $120.00
Bid on this bottle of 1981 Haut-Brion, Pessac-Léognan (90RP). Wine Advocate: "Tasted at The Sampler wine shop in London. Showing signs of maturity on the rim, this has a lovely, earthy, almost autumnal bouquet, hints of wild mint coming through, a speck of cardamom. The palate is medium-bodied, leafy, decayed red fruits on the entry but the mature tannins are very fine. Undoubtedly at the end of its drinking plateau, there is no denying that it has maintained excellent freshness and a sense of natural balance and effortlessness. Dry towards the finish, a little hardness perhaps, but a perfect Graves who like the wines 'autumnal'. Very fine. (NM)" (01/2010)

Bid on this bottle of 1981 Lafite-Rothschild, Pauillac (91RP). Wine Advocate: "This wine is close to full maturity, but it is capable of holding for another two decades. It reveals the classic Lafite bouquet of red and black fruits, cedar, fruitcake, and tobacco-like aromas. In the mouth, this medium ruby/garnet-colored wine displays a delicacy of fruit and sweet attack, but subtle, well-defined flavors ranging from tobacco, cigar box, cedar, and fruitcake. This is a savory, soft Lafite-Rothschild that is pleasing to both the intellect and the palate. (RP)" (12/1997)
