Great Level but black cork. Looked in reasonable condition but a little muted and, although not faulty, it was a little unknit. Felt like a decent Pessac but without the fireworks you usually experience with HB; could sense the bonfire underneath but didn’t quite pop. — 7 years ago

Another one. In good condition even if the cork was impossible. Opened up well as it shed all the meaty, coffee age to be a elegant and assertive speaker. — 10 years ago

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 — 11 years ago

Birthday wine. After 25 yrs this pretty Cab is holding up very well. Clean w dark fruits, mint and some spice. Cork did crumble but was able to salvage. @SilverOak memorable wine. — 11 years ago

I had just bailed on a bottle of overripe Napa Cabernet Sauvignon moments before pulling the cork on this little gem. Balanced, complex, and respectful of the quality mountain fruit that makes this wine so delicious. Terrific next to grilled meat. — 13 years ago

Mag. The cork blew up and we had to Macgyver our way out of the dust but the contents were superb. — 8 years ago

Always a good bottle for me. Been counting and already had 5 bottle of this great value wine from the queen of burgundy. Still holding up good with smooth and elegant mouthfeel. The wine keep evolving after each pour. There is still fruit, spice, core sweetness and overall silkyness. As usual the cork is mouldy — 9 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. — 10 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

Thanks to a good cork, still alive, with a super bouquet, although a bit faded in the mouth. Wish I was in as good shape! — 11 years ago

Brilliant stuff, first time with this one but a real winner, round full flavour with a little fizz in the mouth — 9 years ago

Cork disintegrated, but otherwise no concerns. Very restrained with more fruit showing as it took on air. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the bottles age. — 10 years ago
