Viader, Terra Rouge, Stags Leap, Pahlmeyer, Mount Veeder - "absolute gems"

Wow, I love having a "wine cellar". This weekend we went though and sought out wines we had purchased years ago and thought might be past their prime. Some were, but others were absolute gems.
Terra Rouge 1999 - Syrah. Full fruit, smoky flavors. Drinking very well.
Mount Veeder 1991 - Had two bottles, both were on the downhill. Soft, faded fruit flavors that melted away quickly. Drink any remaining bottles.
Stags Leap Cask 23 1992 - Stunning. Opulent, rich, bold fruit that went on and on.
Pahlmeyer 1996 - Rich and smooth, softer red fruit flavours.
Viader 1997 - Fading, but still a great cabernet.
