87 vintage drank so tightly knit and focused. Cedar, bit green pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, eucalyptus notes. At 13.2% alcohol and nearly 28 years young...youthful and plush with lovely clean flavors. A treat!

Not as good as the 85 I had 18 months ago but still an old fav.

4th wine of the 1987 flight. Definitely on the way down. Just a little tired based on the Duckhorn. Still very drinkable.
