@Doug Powers A good pull Doug. That would have been a mouthful of intense flavours.

@Bob McDonald, my wife and I met Bill Chambers back in 1989, he actually took us outside the tasting room where they kept the AMAZING super old vine stickies and let us taste them — his comment then was “that nice Mr. Parker has really increased the demand for our sweet wines with his kind words” — those top end wines all those years ago drew us back a couple times already, and it’s 14+ hours in the air from the West Coast (CA)!!!

How did you come across this one?
Doug Powers

@Dave, K&L Wines in San Francisco offered it — I was overall disappointed with that offering of 6-8 different Aussie wines offered by them about 1 year ago, including this one — I realized that their buyer has different palate preferences than me (shrug).

Your ability to appreciate the upslope AND THE DOWNSLOPE continues to amaze me.

@Tom Casagrande, I’ve always preferred aged wine, unfortunately I should have taken the gas off buying more wine 15 years and drank my cellar instead. You can probably guess I’d make a terrible actuary!! 🤷

@Tom Casagrande, I agree, I haven’t seen these in the marketplace much, I just posted on a 2003, and also have a few bottles of 1996 Boca left. But, your quality assessment is spot on!!

@Dave, my wife purchased it 18 months ago “to try” and it’d been sitting in our fridge. Not good, at all.
