Huge. Phelps Insignia doesn't hit the ethereal heights of the best '70s Eisele's for me, but I find it more consistent. This '77 is a monster but still classic. — 10 years ago

Still a young monster! Decanted for 3 hours, and still could have handled more. Nice fruit wrapped in spice and leather. Big tannins, but perfect with a steak. Great acidity. — 13 years ago

I love this red wine. To me, it goes well with maybe chili or taco salad. — 13 years ago

Big, big pinot. Monster fruit, good acidity, medium finish. Doesn't get much better in my world. — 10 years ago
