1986 vintage. From Jay. The bottle was decanted about one hour before being poured. Crimson/purple in colour. Very slight bricking on the edge. Some taint but luckily this blew off while the wine was breathing in the decanter. Cedar and cassis on the nose along with some dung. Hints of violets and eucalyptus. Tannins have become very soft and polished. Lovely freshness of fruits. Good viscosity. Coats the mouth with a certain exuberance. This is a wine that has matured with both grace and elegance. Finish is long, profound and classy. A lovely lady that is ageing with charm. One hour in the decanter, however, was too long - 30 mins next time. 94/100. Will last a little longer but I see no compelling reason to wait. Drink now until 2025. — 9 years ago

Just a great Sonoma Pinot. Always consistently good. Great fruit both on the nose and palate. — 11 years ago

Leathery red fruit with a ferrous edge. Has gone through a brett bloom and come out a more complex wine because of it. — 10 years ago

This fantastic 2000 Cabernet was an anniversary gift from my father in law. The bouquet was full with undertones of pepper and earth. Completely without edge in the mouth, I was left with tastes of tobacco and dark chocolate. Obviously loved it, as did the rest of my family...a winner! — 10 years ago

Light ruby with a brown edge. Everything you expect on the nose from a mature Bordeaux, tobacco, pencil, plum and touch of smoke. Medium complex fruit in the mouth that leads to a rounded finish. — 10 years ago

Crazy good paired with dipping into gamba al ajillo (emphasis added), at Napa's groovy/real Zuzu, catching a classic deeply dirty nose while still sporting sun-drenched fruit that initially reworks one's first blush front mouth with an iodine edge that morfs into red and black fruit edgy with acid/tannin slow dancing to the depths and begging for another pinch of broth soaked chewy freshly baked bread and the associated next swig of this sweet juice...rhythmically stellar by day or by night😎🌌👣🍷🌀🎼

PS hit Zuzu (friendly, delicious and real...
