This is the 1985 Napa Cab and was tasted out of 5 liter. This wine was excellent! Herbal notes with a touch of saddle. I was so surprised by how much red fruit was on the pallet with a wine this old! Amazing! — 11 years ago

A very solid Rioja, meaty, dripping in fruit and spice. Nicely balanced at this point with room to get better. Not sure it deserves the 97 points doled out by decanter, however. Pleasant and the right price. — 11 years ago

This was poured through a Zazzol aerator and just spilled out Cassis, black olive, cigar box and vanilla/brown sugar from the glass. Should she well for another 8-10 years. Delicious! — 11 years ago

This is some seriously good Cabernet. Even though it is 10 years old, and eminently drinkable straight out of the bottle, it improves by at least an order of magnitude of you let it breathe for an hour or two. Highly recommended. — 11 years ago

53 years in waiting for this group... What can I say. Started off much younger than the label would say.. Like the old grand dame of St Estephe.. Nice fruit, wonderful nose, and a pleasant finish to round out a great bottle of wine from a era gone by. Shared with friends like it should be. Looking forward to 2015 to do it all again. — 11 years ago

I am the sort of wine snob that will prefer my family's livelihood over all others. This was the last year my grandfather saw his vines, but didn't see the harvest. — 11 years ago

Wow! This is drinking beautifully at the moment. Rich and quite fruit forward. Fully smoothed out tannins with a velvety, chocolate/coffee note that carries on throughout. Delicious and a happily surprised. — 11 years ago

This time out of magnum, definitely needs more ageing time in this format — 12 years ago
