1992 vintage: best after 1 hour in decanter. Mellow, pleasant... Then gains more cedar with spice, and fuller. Holding up well at 90 minutes. Nice, precise.

1998- still young but imminently enjoyable. Not overly dense or particularly incisive like the better vintages. Still, you want it. @ Nico Osteria - Chicago. Great place.

A little over-the-top for us. A good example of the big style cab. Probably too young, estimate 5-7 years wait minimum. — 10 years ago
