Tasted. No doctors made me pay through the nose like Mr. @Bill Bender but I feel his pain. My impatience won't allow me to buy this "en quant." Drink now or forever hold your peace! $200/btl means I hold my wallet... — 9 years ago

This wine will probably be fantastic at my 13 year old daughter's wedding 15 years from now.

May the groom be worthy of such a drink. If not, have the bottle with your daughter and club your son-in-law on the head with the empty bottle - that'll christen the nuptials!!!

Very nice wine - all notes indicate this is 100% cab but it drinks like a blend (very smooth especially for the vintage). Fruity but not as fruit forward as I expected. One word - smooth. Drink or hold. — 10 years ago

Big, bold and full of life. Red fruits and chewy tannin. Drink or hold for a few more it's got plenty of life. — 10 years ago

Darn. Not showing tonight. Dominated by acid and tannin. Fruit just isn't ripe enough to hold up. Did better with food — 10 years ago

Great Cabernet. Thought it might not hold up to the 40th anniversary. Personally I think this is amazing — 10 years ago

Really, you think it's that good?? I think it drinks like many $25-30 Cabernets I've had.. There's nothing to set it apart or justify the $70 price tag other than the name in my opinion unfortunately.

1986 vintage. From Jay. Cracked saddle leather, menthol, dried figs, black cherries, and cassis on the nose with a hint of aniseed ‎ and fennel seed. Very vibrant dark fruits on the front and mid palette - ripe black cherries mixed with blackberries prevail but they tail off relatively rapidly. The finish is curt and somewhat dry/tannic. I don't see this wine improving with any additional bottle age but with its tannic nature it should continue to hold for quite some time. 92/100. Drink now until 2030. — 10 years ago

1995: Deep color. Impact of fruit less dynamic. Traditional Hermitage dna sequencing of flavor, with the bretty sweaty leather that only truly wears well on a Rhone. Not on par with the great vintages, yet this remains a label to hold one's respectful attention. — 10 years ago
