Birth-year, but not all that spectacular. Probably won't hang on much longer.

1988 showing very well for an off year, which goes to show that the winemaker is just as important as vintage. Classic Bordeaux profile with that unmistakable Napa fruit coming through.

Very good. Vibrant fruit with a decent tannic structure. I like the '82 better though

Nose is very much Bordeaux. Dark fruits, mushroom and leather with the most amazing smoky finish. Great wine

Way to finish off the night with a classic Napa that really stands the test of time. Rich, opulent, yet somewhat in an understated manner. More please!! #primetimewinetime #右上の会
