Beautiful and lush. So many layers…feels like this will still be strong in another 10 years — a month ago

Great! A plum and leather with smoke (from smokehouse). But, I think, the acidity is the key. Like a final touch. — 4 years ago

Fitting name for this wine as it definitely tastes “big”. Fairly round and robust flavor profile. Very good drying tannins.

Does not taste 20 yrs old but that’s a good thing as it still has freshness. — 3 months ago

Excellent. Drank the 1985 in 2021 for my 36th birthday. The color was still good, the nose was wonderful, the legs were as slow as molasses. Great wood notes. When we opened it, we did break the cork. The cork was longer than usual and longer than our screw. It was salvaged with a chopstick and there was only one speck of cork found in the wine. Incredibly low sediment for the age — maybe a shot glass of sediment was left in the bottle when we tipped it. — 5 years ago

Though oak is a bit too prominent this is a wonderful showing for the 99. At peak I’d say. Dense fruit, depth, balance, finish with terrific tertiary notes of classic tar, smoke, leather. Excellent. — 3 months ago

Light, crispy, and smooth. Doesn’t taste like cheap wine, but affordable $15 — 5 months ago
