Fruity, deep and complex. Light enough to drink on its own, but strong enough to go with a lamb dinner — 6 years ago

2011- 1 hour decent. Strong nose with a taste of coffee and wood. Waited another hour and drank perfectly fine. Not the greatest year but still good and will buy again. — 8 years ago

Enjoyed at The French Laundry. I thought that the tannins were still fairly strong, but the berry notes were discernible. Excellent. — 9 years ago

‘01 is drinking beautiful in ‘22. Primo. 21 years old is drinking age, how about that?

This wine has aged beautifully and remains strong. Dense and rich, but soft and supple. I’m leaning heavily into the current and jammy notes that remain, but the obvious flavors are the old leather, tobacco, and sage.

Color comes out dark ruby red, but after about an hour in the glass you can see the oxygen taking hold. No decanting required. Glad I bought two of these! — 4 years ago

From a great old looking bottle with a mid shoulder fill. Cork is fully saturated and the crud under the capsule had formed a strong seal. Slow-ox’d for a few hours, then decanted for an hour or two before taken to L’Escargot in Carmel. Amber tawny rims with a reddish tawny core. Crazy nose right from the start. Notes of sweet black cherries, tobacco leaf, plums, black pepper, ash and crusty wood, pencil shavings, some just unwrapped cigar and some menthol. Silky in the mouth with firm structure and soft but present acidity. Long and memorable finish. Outstanding performance over several hours. — 6 years ago

Wow.. Shocking how good these wines can be when they are on. Wonderful nose of dark fruit, old glove leather and graphite. This was still kicking after 3hrs and shows how strong the vintage was to keep going so strong after 50+ years. — 8 years ago

Slight scent from the chin, nice deep hearted aroma when brought to the nose. Not super dry but not sweet either. A bit in the middle. Pretty tanny but not so much to leave the mouth super dry. All around a solid choice. — 7 years ago

2010 vintage. On the nose, strong cherry, red berries, currant and anise with oak and vanilla. On the palate, considerably lower tannins than the 2014 I had recently. Silky smooth mouthfeel, but not as rich and textured as expected. Initial hints of oak, vanilla, pepper, cherry, red berry, and Extremely long finish of cherry and vanilla. — 9 years ago

This tastes more like a Bordeaux to me than a Cab from Napa, but it is so excellent that I'll let it slide. This is a full bodied wine with strong oak, leather, smoke, and honestly a hint of tree bark (in a wonderful way!) This is close to a perfect wine. Buy all you can. — 9 years ago
