A true treasure, this golden age oldie offers layer of complex dried fruit flavors, wonderful herbaceous notes, resolved tannins, still marked with a Rutherford Bench dusty signature. Very elegant and believe it or not; almost Bdx in style. — 10 years ago

An absolute baby, yet to even stretch its legs. Orange cake drizzled in sugar syrup, fig and some bready notes too. Big mouthfeel and quite expansive on the palate. — 9 years ago

Textured & elegant. On the whole, this is about finesse, but there is a lingering tension from the powerful fruit which adds the backbone here. This has a citrus-y edge to it which adds an extra layer of acidic structure to the lush orchard fruit. Beautiful wine. — 8 years ago
