Lots of dried red fruit and herbs. Beautiful showing of how #NapaValley #CabernetSauvignon can age well. — 12 years ago
Definitely some bottle variability in these library releases but this '95 was singing. Dark fruit remain front and center with moderate oak and well integrated tannins. Some dusty rustic notes make add some appreciated complexity. — 12 years ago
Love Fred's library releases! Friday first pour. — 13 years ago
Not a terrible bottle for a Tuesday night. Coincidentally, was discussing the 1998 vintage with the Cristom team today. Steve's recollection: cool July, nice Indian summer mid-September, provided a lot of good acidity. Obviously that had tapered off somewhat in this bottle, but in its wake was a bit of anise, tea, dusty fig - pretty much all the lovely things you want to say about a library Eyrie and sound like an asshat no matter what. Lovely pour. — 11 years ago

Whoa, true oxidative goodness here. Brioche, toast, slight lanolin and some awesome oxidized green apple presentation. Lemon curd and lime rind, dust and library notes. Great bottle! — 11 years ago
