Peach, strawberry, little bit of nuttiness, lees and citrus. Pretty wine. — 11 years ago
A little rough in the aromatics. Cork was suspect, looked and smelled a bit funky. wine was otherwise youthful in the mouth with raspberry, tar, spice and plenty of lively acid. Have a few more '89s and think its time. overall a beautiful wine still but perhaps in aromatic decline. - 1989 vintage — 12 years ago

I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 11 years ago

My guest brought this in from there wine cell. I decanted the wine let it say for about 1 hour. I used a Osso to open this bad boy up, I didn't wanna break the cork. The cork came out smooth and beautiful. As for the wine, my guest gave me a lil taste and it was magnificent!! Smooth tannis bright fruit just awesome!! — 11 years ago

If there's a bottle of wine with a longer cork, Ive never had it...anywho, this starts with a nose of dusty spice and bramble with a really smooth palate of cassis, molasses, and stewed dark fruits...nice. — 11 years ago
