Initial aromas of oak, blackberry and black fruits in general. Quite sweet on the palate with the vanillin oak but pulled into Cabernet line with a leafy touch. After a while aromas of cedar and unburnt pipe tobacco. I remember in the early days Wolfgang Blass, the man, used to say “No Wood No Good”. Was his mantra and worked well for him with 3 Jimmy Watson Trophies until tasters developed more sophisticated tastes. Will drink the remaining couple of bottles in the next few years. Ended up having the next one (and 2nd last) 26 weeks later on 24th September 2023. Hadn’t changed much. It screams black currant and milk chocolate. Try and have the last one in 2026 when 20 years old. Still 93 points. — 2 years ago

Had that tanin punch but it didn't linger too long. A little rounder and softer aft having it with steak (US Ribeye med rare) but enough body to hold up. $170 before tax, Wolfgang Steakhouse Singapore. Celebrating new job for S. Memorable — 4 years ago

Notes of raspberry, cranberry and rose water finish. Balanced tannins, has enough backbone to pair with hamachi tuna and black truffle pork dumplings, among other items. A Chef Wolfgang Puck restaurant — a year ago
