2014. As always, consistently fruit forward full of dark fruit the makes you want to have another glass. It has the smooth mouth that goes so well with meat. — 9 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a brick rim.
Soft nose of red and black fruits, wet leaves, herbs, black pepper, must, tobacco leaf, earth, light wood and dark coffee.
Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, light oak, licorice, spices, coffee, earth, cola, light vegetables, herbs, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from the very famous Martha’s Vineyard in
Napa Valley.
This 35 year old is drinking very nicely now. Nice to see how it held up.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Elegant and tasty. Showing nice complexity at this point.
A little muted right out of the bottle, and needed a few minutes to open up. Even better after an hour of airtime.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a pizza with prosciutto and arugula. Delish.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

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
