Now this is what I’m talking about! Wonderful! Dark purple color. 1+ hour decant and could use even more. Drinking beautifully but still has years left in it! Massive cigar box on the nose. Wine is very Bordeaux like as it is deep, well structured, and has an excellent balance of fruit and smoke. If you drink it fast it tastes like the best bbq in the world! Long finish. Absolutely love this and it will only get better!! — 8 years ago
Still a lot of life left despite the vintage. After decanting for an hour it is hard to find any flaw with it. — 10 years ago
Aging very nicely with some left to go. Enjoyed with prime top sirloin. — 11 years ago
Best moscato I have had with a higher ABV. Currently my moscato of choice! — 12 years ago
Pickled grapes, candied nuts, currants, oak on the nose. Juicy! Blackberries, oaky tannins, herbs with some fresh vegetables (mint, pepper, thyme). Drinking fantastically with more life left! — 12 years ago
The nose was weirdly muted and indiscernible. Also a bit tight but the finish was full and nice. It’s good but for the price and time in the bottle, it just left me unimpressed — 6 years ago
Special birth year bottle for a milestone birthday this week. The cork was almost entirely intact and we double decanted to catch all the sediment. A beautiful brick color in the glass, evolving over 4 hours and drinking nicely. Plenty of fruit left and I also picked up a little salinity/olive savoriness. Glad a few friends popped by to share this with me #50inquarantine #socialdistancing 🍷😷🙌🏻 — 6 years ago

40 years later and still tasting amazing, though not much for bubbles left. Tasted like earthy, nutty apple pie — 11 years ago
Davis Family Pinot Noir!! My new love — 12 years ago
Haven’t had this top of class of 2000 in awhile. It so outperforms most of that vintage. Tannins are perfect. Lush red fruit that lingers forever. Spent a little time tending the vineyard and decided to treat myself. WOW!!! Only two bottles left. Boo🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 6 years ago
1995 vintage. Still deep purple red, subtle earthy leather aromas with a burst of fresh red raspberries mid palate. Lots of herbal hints like anise and tarragon. Finished with graphite and iron. Changed with each sip. Very nice mature and fully approachable left bank beauty. — 8 years ago
PnP at a friend's house. Wonderful nose of blackberry, black currant, dried blueberries, cedar, eucalyptus, and tobacco that keeps intensifying with time in the glass. Full body with fully-integrated tannins and a long complex finish that fluctuates between black fruits, organic earth, and eucalyptus. Everything about this wine is in perfect harmony right now but it still has plenty of life left. — 8 years ago
Nariz: Mora, ciruela, regaliz, especies, cuero. La garnacha es notable en la nariz. Toda la fruta madura/sobre madura.
Boca: seco, Tanino M/M+ pero sedosos considerando la edad, Acidez M, Alcohol Alto (15%)

Aromas of plum, blackberry and cassis! Still an easy 10 years left of aging potential. — 11 years ago
In magnum. After a few hours double decant was drinking very well. A long life left though — 11 years ago
Bright, fresh, tons of life left in it. Great fruit, crisp acid, silky tannins. Yum! — 12 years ago
'89 Martha's holding up well spicy dark black fruit, classic menthol interwoven, thinking it has some years left in it — 12 years ago

Drank April 2021. Still quite young and very vibrant. Well rounded tannins and great structure. Jam, plum, blueberry, blackcurrant, raspberry and pepper notes. Has another 15 plus years of life left but drinks well now. — 5 years ago
