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

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

Musty vanilla with tons of ripe fruit on the nose. Tannins were completely and PERFECTLY developed. Long, smooth finish. This wine was beyond my capacity to describe. — 13 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

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

Roses, cherries, graphite, dried thyme, rose water. Excellent acid/smooth velvet tannin balance, dry herbal finish. Medium bodied yet delicate. Has the structure for long aging. Drinks best in 2020 and beyond. — 11 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

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

Never in its youth have I enjoyed this ever so much -this is now ripening beyond that sweet coconut and spiced plum to a meaty hardwood spice with great depth. — 12 years ago

Loved this! It went wonderfully with Ropa Vieja, rice, and beans. Will be pairing it with pan seared lamb and regular steak. — 9 years ago

That oxidative happening bringing toasted almonds and caramelized pastries to the glass. A Classic decently well aged champagne experience. Still got the fizz intact. This one and is all about the moment. Everyone at the setting is hyped. (Not that great wine wise if you ask me but everyone around was beyond impressed) — 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
