This will likely wrap it up for me. A birth year bottle on my birthday and my 1000th bottle on Delectable. It’s a bottle that makes you appreciate the beauty of the wine, it’s story, and times and occasions you share a bottle. Faint red fruits, leathers, dust, tar, and a pretty acidity. It opened up over an hour, drank well for a couple and did some fading thereafter. — 8 years ago

Vanilla, cedar, very dry in the mouth. Blackberry. I liked it. Paired with pork chops with a port, peppercorn and cream sauce and roasted asparagus and sweet potatoes — 11 years ago
The fruit was still very much present, mostly stewed raspberries, cranberries, and red plum. The earth was the shining star, composted soil, tobacco leaf, and very much dusty. The acid was still in tact, and the finish was very long. Just the way an aged Bordeaux should taste!! — 12 years ago
Ripe raspberry aromas layered with notes of red cherry and silky finish. Smooth! — 14 years ago

I feel like this Wine is in its prime drinking window now. Cola, red fruit, and some Rutherford dust make for smooth drinking Cab. — 8 years ago

With thanks to @Ron R and @Paul T for their recommendations here!
Decanted 2 hours. Wonderful dark fruits on the nose that carry through to the palate. Certainly there is some Rutherford dust but there remains some tannin that remains less than well integrated. This is exceptional value. — 9 years ago

Big fruit and dense. I enjoyed with short ribs and my husband liked it with a Bolognese. — 10 years ago

The final bottle of the case. This wine is now darker and smokier on the nose with less of the blue fruit and more of the stewed black fruits. The palate still has wonderful acidity but is far less lush. Flavors of wet earth mingle with darker stewed plum and blackberries and lead to a bit of a shorter finish that shows a touch more puckering acidity. — 8 years ago

1992. Would have been better 5 yrs ago but still very nice with dried more than fresh fruit (prune/raisin more than plum/ grape) but still a touch of tannin on first opening. Definite cedary Napa dust gives a bit of structure. — 11 years ago

Dark cherry and a dash of herbs, with a savory middle and finish, excellent concentration, and terrific with a duck breast with a beet sauce. — 7 years ago
