2007 Eric Kent Kalen's Big Boy blend. — 12 years ago
I could smell this bad boy from three feet away during the bottle to glass pour. Rich, bold, body, complex. It's a thinker. And delicious. — 9 years ago
Crushed this bad boy w/ a buddy from Back home and his comment was "oh so this is what Real wine tastes like!" Lol. Love it. — 10 years ago
Oh, boy! If we were pleased with the 1995 preceded this, then we were ecstatic with this '86 which was richer, deeper, more complex and exceeded our high expectations. — 10 years ago
Was a great wine went well with some finger foods on a nice day at the Vinyard. — 9 years ago
What a beauty! Creamy, defined and rich. Perfumy with flowers, mint, sweet apples, minerality and very concentrated honest power. Acidity is angular, very bright and holds this huge palate together nicely (and oh boy, I wish I had a time machine to see how it evolves in 10 years). I'm still trying to crack that dominant aftertaste note — it's almost cake-like sweet, with some nutty backbone and caramel on the top. Absolutely in love. — 10 years ago

Oh boy! After steak wine. Pax killed it! Surprised it was so ready after 4 1/2 years in oak. Fill throttle and so nicely balanced. Will be very interesting to see how this continues to evolve. — 9 years ago
