Solid vintage from one of my favorites. Black cherry with a little bit of vanilla. Great nose but surprisingly not as full bodied as I thought it would be. — 11 years ago

A good vintage. Coffee, Bing cherries. A little jam. Needs coaxing but a more than serviceable cdp — 9 years ago

Unique blend. A little sweet. Good table wine. Not for everyone though. Kinda breaks the rules of red wine. — 10 years ago

Decanted for four hours. My least fave of the 5 86 Firsts. A little disjointed. — 11 years ago

I love this wine! It is always so balanced. Extremely smooth with very little tannins showing, being so young. A wine that never disappoints no matter the vintage. — 9 years ago

Holding up nicely! Bit of menthol, a little fruit hanging on and notes of tobacco. Silky tannin and a touch of orange rind on the palate. — 10 years ago

Pleasantly surprised how good this was. Dark with more than a hint of sweet fruit up front but little to no mouthfeel and nothing on the end. — 11 years ago
