We went 2/2 tonight. This bottle was a testament to perfect storage. Cork was perfect, and the wine was dark ruby with ever so slight bricking at the rim. Awesome. More approachable than the 90 and makes you wanna curl up with it for a long time. Better than the bottle I had at the Montrose vertical a month ago. Blind I would guess 10 yrs newer. For this price point and quality it's a must add. Edged out the Margaux. — 11 years ago
Haven't had this in ages. Tasted blind its a dead ringer for a left bank Bordeaux to me. Softer, lighter so more St Julian like perhaps? Yummy wine that's elegant and very smooth with a long finish. — 11 years ago
Towering about the other 5 wines in tonight's blind tasting, massive redfruits, great acidity hides the massive tannins, great wine that seems close to first growth quality!! — 12 years ago

Love is blind tasting. A much better showing than the 89. Pleasant and smooth. Pleasant for $169 is just not worth the special occasion price. — 11 years ago
Didn't come across as Barolo when tasted blind, but this is a well made wine that needs food with it to bring out how good it is. — 12 years ago
Second type of cab I've tried, very different flavor. I'm a fan of California Reds!

Oldy and goody. Thanks Larry. Weirdly, if I tasted this blind I would have guessed Margaux. — 13 years ago

Absolutely fantastic for the price, I'd pay double what it costs in a blind test. — 11 years ago
