A touch of sweetness. Pretty. Great weight in the middle- a ripe vintage but good acidity. Lovely — 8 years ago

A tad mossy with a hint of oak. Feels like a velvet room within a cave on feathers. Definitely would recommend. — 8 years ago

9.1

Beautiful. Strong tannins to the nose, yet the middle is light and smooth, finished with a balanced, less than velvety taste. A lot of tabacco, bold after it opens up. — 9 years ago

A little throw back Charleston Wine Festival circa 2014 with my bestie Brooke! — 9 years ago

Aroma is strawberries and cherries. Flavor is also strawberry and cherries but gives way to a black pepper spiciness in the middle as well as chocolate, oak, and a little smokiness. Solid tannins. it's a perfect every day wine like the best expression of a table wine — 9 years ago

1986. Day 1 was charming out of the gate, then ultimately showed its oak and structure and a sort of pine quality. Preferred Haut-Batailley. Day 2 had sufficiently mellowed but still felt a little down the middle somehow. Cool side by side — 10 years ago

Thomas Rivers Brown...great bottle for challenging vintage. Needs lots of air and more time. — 8 years ago

Dan Rath

9.5

Infanticide but nuanced, opened up after an hour, not as big as anticipated, more subtle as tannins were already smooth, core of fresh black currants and blueberries, graphite in the middle and a medium long finish more subtle than the nose would suggest. — 8 years ago

9.1

So enticing.... Herbs, tobacco, leather, savoury, meaty, cooked fruit, liqueur. Probably peaked a few years ago it goes superbly with h middle-eastern food. — 9 years ago

9.3

The rating is for today only, as this will merit a higher rating in a couple of years. Beautiful in middle, but the least expressive of the wines. What you get for killing a baby, I really want to see this a few years down the road! — 8 years ago

Tasty and subtle. Not too sweet, not too dry. — 8 years ago

9.5

Lovely upfront in the middle and at the end. Definitely in the drivers seat. So much complexity with a shot of dreaminess. — 9 years ago

Small initial soft aroma of rick dark fruit. Dark red bubbles. Huge burst of rich dry tannins in the middle than fades beautifully. Coats your mouth with velvet smoothness of non sweet raspberries. — 10 years ago
