Next level. Best of both worlds. Fruit and acid then nuts and complexity. — 10 months ago
2016. Red and black fruit with firm tannins. More of a traditionalist style but very approachable now. Rich. A lot of body without being heavy. — 5 years ago
Smooth but flavors have switched a lot to non fruit even at that age — 7 years ago
Very honeyed and less mellow than the 40 year. Still mighty complex — 8 years ago
Very rich with flavor. More flavor then the regular red ménage a trois. Both are great! — 9 years ago
What a difference an hour decant makes! Pitch black in the glass. Barnyard funk on the nose. Blackberry and leather mid-palate. Lots going on with this wine and time will only improve this vintage. Tart cherry and cranberry on the finish. Firm tannins and quite dry. — 10 years ago
$30 for the glass — 11 years ago

So subtle - dried orange peel, potpourri and creamed corn - a delight, thank Hugh — 8 years ago
Spice, leather, blackberry, vanilla nose. Lush blackberry, tobacco and, mineral, hint of raisin in the finish. — 8 years ago
An absolute beast a wine! Needs a short decant to open up and let the glycerol smell and taste blow off. I decanted for 30 min.
Huge dark fruits, charcoally smokiness, and spice. Inky deep deep black color and of course it doesn't get any more full body than this. — 9 years ago
Very nice with my BT Steak. — 10 years ago
Stunning at almost 30 years of age. Decanted for an hour or so, opened beautifully. Pipe tobacco, plum, dank pit (Moe the bartender), tons of anise, soft tannins with some grip, holding up incredibly well. I would have guessed mid to late 90's napa cab based on looks and taste... thanks @Matthew Nagy what a treat. — 10 years ago
Pop and pour. Black cherry, kirsch, black licorice, and some wood smoke both on the nose and palate. Deep ruby color, medium body. A nice impression of fruit—big, but not as heavy as expected. Medium tannins, medium acids, but they linger onto the finish. A decent wine, with better-than-average complexity. I'd get half a case of this and be quite happy... — 11 years ago

Bright medium ruby , quite thin violet rim . Quite discreet and fine, reserved on the nose . Red cherry , cassis , mineral tinged blackberry, after a while pomegranate. On the palate this is very detailed and precise , great freshness and with more red fruit, cherry , red plum , blackberry , wet slate , saline oyster shell with very fine tannins . Long mineral finish . Very young obviously but incredibly elegant and fresh . Will need time , this closed up quite a lot after time in the decanter . Better in 10 -15 years , will last well a further 10-15 . Incredibly promising . — 10 months ago

A little dry but light on tannins, currant, pepper, smooth finish. — 5 years ago
Great wine especially for the price — 6 years ago
Great for backyard grilling! — 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
Decanted 15 min Feels slightly over oaked. Fruit does open. Took some time 30 min. Brings out ripe cherry. Cedar. Vanilla heavy tones nose toasted — 10 years ago
I'd get to drinking your 97's now. Good...great actually but beginning to lose a lot. Cork was quite soft on mine. Flavor...like California...but smoother ;-) — 11 years ago
