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!!!

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.

Big, bold and full of life. Red fruits and chewy tannin. Drink or hold for a few more it's got plenty of life. — 9 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

Here I am again with a pop goes the bramble weasel moment. Even at a listed 15.5 alcohol (certainly a lie) this beast had some elegance and subtlety. I think it's a testament to terroir. Even over ripe as this is (to me) it has the depth, and more importantly, width of flavors to hold up to the glycerin floating on top, like grease from my father-in-law's chili cook-off, red ribbon special. On the third day it seems that the wine rested a bit, and it sang a good hymn with my bacony crepinette. — 10 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

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
