I wanted this wine to be magnificent. It wasn't. 1994. A bit long in the tooth. Should have had it years ago. Nose brought back great memories. Wonderful flowers and nuance. Beautiful bouquet. But the win was disappointing. Just didn't go anywhere. Faded fast. More I hope a function of being beyond its time. Oh well. At least it was expensive. — 9 years ago

Surprisingly still in tact for a 49 year old bottle. Upon opening the wine was sharp with acid, but after 5 hours of decanting the wine softened to allow notes of dried rose petals, cherries, and cranberries through. The wine has a tawny oxidized hue and has an ethereal translucence due to its age. This is probably a few years beyond its prime, but still incredibly enjoyable. — 10 years ago

2006 Vintage one of the Best wines I have had. Been saving one bottle for a special occasion, and Thursday night had my wine drinking group. Having Drank other bottles of the 2006, I would say this was about 1 year beyond it's peak, but still exceptional compared to subsequent vintages of the same. — 11 years ago

About as good as Grenache gets. Not many others that are better. Stewed black fruits, pencil lead, and smoky minerals. Evolves with aromas of steamed veggies and chocolate. The dusty tannins and pervasive acidity can potentially take this wine to 2020 and beyond. — 12 years ago

I find LdH's achievements for both 2002 & 2003 to be remarkable. Difficult vintages for completely different reasons. This 03 is certainly a big wine, but that is to be expected with the noted European heatwave that year. Beyond the ripeness, it checks all the boxes of the house style. Structure, texture, nuance from the oak. They are magicians. — 9 years ago

An extremely well balanced and integrated wine that is moving beyond its peak. Great representation of a 1997 Napa "cab". — 10 years ago

This chick is a slum dunk no matter who, what, where, when, or why. Beyond a safe bet, even at $200. And yes, it's ready to go NOW — 9 years ago

Van from witching stick and I were cross eyed to find this wine a Pinot. Beyond its microbial speed bumps, this wine was fresh and legit. — 11 years ago
