Ambar pálido con cierta turbiedad. Espectacularmente aromática. Frutos secos, miel y bajamar. Fresca, salina y muy muy persistente. Perfecta para maridajes atrevidos. — 9 years ago

Stunning at almost 30 years of age. Decanted for an hour or so, opened beautifully. Pipe tobacco, plum, dank pit (Moe the bartender), tons of anise, soft tannins with some grip, holding up incredibly well. I would have guessed mid to late 90's napa cab based on looks and taste... thanks @Matthew Nagy what a treat. — 9 years ago

For 30 years old, amazingly young. Not a ton of rim separation. Very green and tight at first, opened to start showing fruit. — 10 years ago

Was a dumbo and didn't realize I had bought Sherry?
Very light golden yellow. Smells of candied nuts but tastes of proscuitto a little bit (salty). — 7 years ago

Wonderful, complex and full even after 30 years. Tannins still crisp and adds to length of finish. Was not expecting that. Love old french Bordeaux's so consider my review biased. — 8 years ago

Mahogany color with molasses, caramel, espresso, bittersweet chocolate and subtle baking spice aromas. On the palate it's full bodied, viscous, and very persistent with a supple mouth feel that's beautifully balanced with a penetrating acidity that keep it from being cloying and persistent with very good acidity that keeps it from being cloying and provides balance. It shows very sweet flavors of molasses, honey-dipped figs, dates, caramel, and baking spice nuanced citrus note with a kiss of oxidation that adds to its allure and complexity. Long finish — 9 years ago

Really fantastic wine. This wine will age and can be consumed over the next 30 years. I agree with the high praise this particular vintage has received. — 10 years ago

Still young and needs time or a good decant.

30 min decant. Aromas are still somewhat muted. Subtle soft blackberry aromas.
Blackberry, Blueberry, subtle smoke, and leather flavors.

Always a solid wine especially around the $50 price point. — 8 years ago

One of the best wineries in Napa. Can be consumed now but would benefit for a few years aging as tannins are very firm and surround the fruit forward taste. Still amazing, especially after 30-45 min in a decanter — 9 years ago

Found this bottle in my parent's wine closet and had to open it. I don't have the appropriate vocabulary to describe, but a special wine much different from the $10-$30 bottles I may drink typically. — 9 years ago

Showing well at 30, despite a spongy loose cork. Part of our thanksgiving game of chance, this was the best wine of the evening. — 10 years ago

Ready to drink. 30 minutes decanted & this wine began opening nicely with dark fruit forward.. A bit of raisin?... Plenty of cherry.. Old leather.. Earthy.. Bit of barnyard both on the nose and palate after 45 minutes. Plenty of depth.. A pleasant surprise at 15 years old! — 10 years ago
