So damn good. Blue fruit, purple fruit. Smoke and wild herbs. Delicate and polished but with a sturdy backbone. — 9 years ago

1969 vintage. Bomb. Salty like anchovy paste on saltines. Caribbean jerk marinade and Epsom salt. Living, breathing. Continuing to develop as I write this. Take me to church. — 10 years ago

Thank you so much for the update on this vintage. So glad to hear it's held up well. Happy belated birthday! Cheers!

Jonathan Colby

Yes. This was super super delicious. Age has treated this juice incredibly well. Classic CDP profile, but I dare say I enjoyed it more than most, if not all CDP's I've ever had. Really beautiful winemaking. If this vintage is any indication, you guys have some legendary stuff in the cellar.

This bottle was pretty rad. Immediately open with lots of ripe but desiccated fruit, the secondaries focused mostly on the minty, leafy and tea side, as well as a delicate beefy aroma, but there was a ton of life still in the bottle. Not a monumental drink, but holding together. Lots of respect to @randallgrahm for making great wines that can go the distance without relying on seriousness as a crutch. Definitely drink now, but it's later decline will be slow, I'm sure.
