Brett dominates. Jammy. Black cherries emerge. Nice acidity.

Apr 1st, 2022Monthly WTF wine group. Special event this month as Ben provided all ‘80s Napa cabs. A few of us chipped in and provided some whites/bubbly.
Wow. Winner of the flight and tied for WOTN. Blind I would have guessed first or second growth Bordeaux. New leather, pepper, toasted black fruit, fresh squeezed black cherry. Drinking beautifully!

Nov 4th, 2016Some earthy wet towels on the nose. Beautiful fruit is still extremely expressive balanced tannins long finish! Yes this 29 year wine still has it.

Oct 7th, 2016Had the 87 many times through the past 20 years and unfortunately today is done, rest in peace... I prefer to stick to memories of when it use to have a lovely and elegant forward fruit that could make me smile even on the toughest day.
