Leather, cigar leaf, rose water and Bing cherries. Old fella has actually hung in there very well.
Initial sweetness, stewed plums, Swisher Sweets, and almonds land the palate with soft fine tannins. Fades a bit over an hour in the decanter but showcased well. — 9 years ago
Lots going on. Years ahead of this fella still. — 9 years ago
Dry with fantastic tannins and beautiful structure. It's even better after it hits the air for a little bit. This is a great find at Costco! Highly recommend for Napa Cab lovers. Pairing this tonight with steak. I'm one happy fella! — 10 years ago
After 45 minutes to open up, this French fella paired poppingly well with rewatching Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in The Trip teamed with a late breaking baked Cheetos play #stayclassydelectable — 10 years ago

Whoa! Big fella. Held your own alongside two vintages of first growths. Power, structure and enough hidden finesse to last for a good hibernation in the cellar. One of my favorite winemakers who continues to make noise all over the valley. — 9 years ago
Pizza night so this little fella makes sense! Last had it with @Brian Mogg :) — 9 years ago
Spice and pepper and POW! You can taste the smoke in this fella. Need BBQ. — 10 years ago
Broad nose with plenty stewed red berry fruit, kirsch, cheery bakewell, prune but also a savoury smokiness. Palate shows more elegance than the nose would suggest with an abundance of red fruits though alcohol pokes out a touch. Felt a touch sorry for this fella as it was drunk just after Lafite 95'.... — 11 years ago

Cork taint blurred how good this wine could have been. Still a but of life left in the old fella, weighty and rich with great structure. — 8 years ago
