My previous notes are listed with a click on the photo & a short scroll. I opened this bottle four hours ago. It tasted past it’s prime from the bottle we had several weeks ago. This bottle showed lots of figs, dates, prunes & Eau de Vie Brandy/Cognac. It took four hours open in bottle to get back to my previous notes that I made nearly two months ago. Now, it’s beautiful dark, rich, beautiful Cabernet. If your well stored 87 BV Rutherford tastes over the hill upon opening, I wouldn’t decant it...that would be too much air for this bottling. I would open the bottle for an hour and let it stand. Then, pour into a glass for fifteen to twenty minutes and serve. It recovers magnificently. Deliciously perfect after nearly 30 years in the bottle. For the two of us, our last pour tastes like our previous bottle did after four hours being open in bottle. A splendid recent purchase for less than $50. — 7 years ago

I've never had this blend before. It's nice, kind of oaky but not as citrusy or fruity as a some wines. I would buy it again but maybe a different brand. — 8 years ago

Really rather lovely little rustic Rhône red. Now say that five times as fast as you can. Fresh fruit, acidity and a bit of heat on the finish. Great with cured meats. — 9 years ago
