This was our second bottle. First was uninspiring and despite the 97pt RP rating, found it to be disappointing. The trick is to let it breathe for at least an hour to let the flavors develop. It is no Opus One but very satisfying with a juicy steak or just plain enjoyment! — 8 years ago

Visual: opaco y algo turbio por los sedimentos. Color profundo.

Nariz: potente, blackberry (mora), cereza, madura. Composta, zetas, cuero, barnyard.

Boca: buen balance, taninos M ya refinados, acidez M, alcohol M+.

Me parece que ya debe tomarse puede estar pasando su pico.

1973 - a treat from one of the Dan's - very mature dusty and slightly herbal - had the patine of a faded photograph - still a little acidic authority! — 9 years ago

Nice smoky nose with dried tobacco, peanut oil, iodine, mint and eucalyptus. In the mouth the tannin and acid is still youthful with crisp red apple skin and a hint of grandma's attic peaking thru the finish. — 10 years ago

When it was opened the nose was shy, 30 minutes later it opened up to a smooth and elegant wine with fruit and soft tannins. Solid and good drinking. Cork was in great shape!! 56 year old wine that has held up beautifully.🍷🍷 — 8 years ago

An extraordinary wine from a historic vineyard, absolutely pristine, dark and complex, earthy, with acidity in tact. Stellar especially with the vineyard dust on our boots. — 10 years ago

A 10 year old port. The flavor of a robust Cabernet but sweet, thicker, and without tannins. Not tawny in flavor; not ruby in color. It is instead a deep and beautiful red color. Alcohol 18.2% by volume. — 9 years ago

Excuse me for (trusting my palate and) thinking that varietal labeling from this winery and era might not have been 100% correct?
This doesn't taste like aged Pinot but is still very enjoyable.
Opening up with time and the last pour (with heavy sediment) was actually the best. — 10 years ago
