Just an awesome wine! My last of six and I'm sad to see it go. Every bit as good as cult Napa wines costing 4 or 5 times as much. Still not even at it's peak - decades to go. Rich, crazy complex and tons of great tannins backing it up. — 8 years ago

Amazing finish of milk chocolate, coffee and thin mint patty that went on for minutes. — 8 years ago

1984 Vintage. Fruit is fading and acidity taking over. Bright cherry fruit. Almost "Pinot-like" at this stage. Drink up! — 8 years ago

Needed a long decant and at best next day. Deep dark fruit with big backbone and long finish! My first Carter and was impressed. — 8 years ago

2012 Vintage. Wine of memorable complexity and depth. Incredible layers of dark chocolate, coffee, graphite, black cherry, black raspberry...
A wow wine that makes you think and smile with every sip. Thanks for the memories Mike! — 9 years ago

Opened two bottles for my daughter's 30th birthday. Both were in wonderful shape although one had red fruits and the other darker fruits. Both had lively acidity and fully integrated tannins. Loved them. — 8 years ago
