A baby but luxurious with multiple layers of fruit. We decanted and it continues to evolve. — 9 years ago

Wonderful Napa cab with great fruit and a long finish. This is a big Cab that will evolve well with more age. — 10 years ago

Opened, took a small taste, after a swirl in the stem. Surprise! it seemed a little thin & woody. Decanted for a hour MUCH Better and just continued to evolve in the stem, each sip better than the last! This wine is still young and vibrant. The tannins are integrating nicely. I truly believe this wine can compete with 1st growths. Well done Phelps!!! What a way to end a week & begin a weekend, now I need something to compete tonight, Colgin? — 9 years ago

Every time I have this it confirms that even "off" vintage Yquem is outstanding. Continues to evolve and improve and and while it will last many more years it's providing tons of pleasure in it's youth. — 11 years ago

Very impressive for such a young vintage.

Lovely nose cinnamon and spice box. On the palette, it's wonderfully weighted. Tobacco and sweet dark fruits blend perfectly. Tannins are somewhat integrated, but need more time. This has the potential to evolve to a much better place. Lay this down for 3 - 5 years. — 10 years ago

Unbelieveable wine. I've been waiting so long to try these wines and am glad that it was worth the wait. Insanely clean, pure flavors of citrus, almond, lemon meringue and wet stone. Great dimension, weight and intensity. Glad I bought three bottles to see how this will evolve. — 10 years ago
