some notable bottles that I have had of late:

1997 Groth Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon
---this was a great bottle, good juicy dark red fruit, mellowed tannins but still there. This wine could still go for a few more (~3) years.
1993 Ferrari-Carano Tresor
--- opened 2 bottles for a family dinner, this wine is still showing well if you like that aged bordeaux flavor, the fruit is fading, on the pallet it is quite earthy and hints of mushroom came through, huge complex nose. This vintage is on its last legs IMHO, it should be drunk sooner than later.
