Tasted side by side with the 1976 Cos. Extremely youthful for a 20 year wine. Earth, mineral, and lovely vibrant fruit. Finishes with a touch of cracked pepper and some pleasant funk. Gorgeous for a second wine. — 9 years ago

The California first growth delivers the goods! This 2002 mag had so much power and cassis impact without becoming heavy- on the contrary it was super refreshing. This beat Bordeaux at its own game with Kobe Fred steak after 2 hours in the decanter. — 11 years ago

Oh my - what an excellent Merlot from Blankiet. If tasted blind you'll think that this is a first growth Napa cab. Wonderful bouquet of dirt and charchol with amazing palette from start to the LONG finish. If you have in your cellar today open a bottle and enjoy! — 12 years ago

The second LLC1992 in one month, again a great effort and I think the best 1992. Fantastic concentration and ripe green impressions — 13 years ago
