OoLaLa got a taste of this beauty. Blend of 39% Syrah, 37% Grenache & 22% Mourvèdre, aged in new French oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice. On the palate strawberry, plum and black cherry flavors with sweet herbs and exotic rustic spices, well balanced. Long finish with complex fruit, sweet vanilla cedar and mineral ending. Tasting Sample! — 6 years ago

Amazing showing for this Cos at 37 yrs old that kept building its aromatic flavors with time in the glass displaying notes of dark cherry, berry, plum, earth, licorice, spice box, tobacco. Rich & full bodied that seems to be aging slowly. — 7 years ago

After a spirited tussle between myself and the Durand vs a dry and crumbly cork I was able to double decant this and segregate away the remnants of floating debris. I was immediately struck by the bouquet which was unmistakably borne from Cabernet Franc (and I believe this blend is less than 10%). It was a positive sign. The wine is completely intact and boasts ample fruit albeit waning acidity. Simple Concord grape, bruised black plum and sweet oak flavors are holding on 2 hours in. This has some time left, but not much. This is a testament to Opus One quality in the early days (I believe this was the 3rd or 4th vintage) and while I think the ‘87-‘97 era was their best, this is an profound example of an exemplary wine at age 37! — 8 years ago

Here is another great taste of history. This 37 year old is surprisingly, still very drinking nicely. Showing lots of complexity on the nose and palate.

Medium plus in body and crisp, with medium plus acidity.

Off dry on the palate with citrus, honey, ripped apples, light maple, tropical fruits, pineapples, citrus and Indian spices.

Tangy finish with spices and honey.

Very Stinky right out of the bottle, and better as it opens up (30 minutes).

Very enjoyable by itself or with food. I paired it with a spicy Tuna Tataki dish.

10% alcohol by volume.

90 points. — 6 years ago

Everyone’s WOTN. The fruit flavors, while still present, had given way to the tertiary flavors - earth, tobacco, leather, and still a hint of eucalyptus. Such a testament to the vineyard source and winemaking for this still to be going strong after 37 years. Fun way to ring in the New Year. — 7 years ago

A lovely #TGIF Bubbly from @ironhorsevyds Strawberry color with a persistent bead of tiny bubbles and yeasty tart red fruit, dried rose and a hint of mineral aromas. On the palate it shows a moderately creamy mousse with intense cherry, raspberry blood orange flavors. 63% Pinot Noir 37% Chardonnay. 13.5% alcohol — 11 years ago

Delicious, and a bit on the feminine side with less richness and body as in other editions, which I thought was interesting given the composition. Crowd favorite. — 7 years ago

Had this a few years ago, disappointed that I opened this wine early so I opened one now. Deep Ruby red, with aromas of dark fruit and spice. On the palate, the blend of 51% Cab Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, and 12% Cab Franc, had blackberry and plums with notes of cacao and gentle smoky/toasty oak. The wine spent 16 months in 40% new French and American oak. Full bodied, nice balance and well integrated soft tannins. Time will continue to enhance this wine. Very nice! — 8 years ago
