Pure red cherry with a bit of spice and a soupçon of menthol, lovely and nearly impossible to stop drinking. — 4 days ago

9.4

Black current, minerals, a touch of bell pepper, still an infant with plenty of ripe tannin, but delicious with prime ribeye. It keeps adding nuance with air, though it never quite catches up with the 1986 Montrose. — 6 days ago

9.2

Flinty but with richness beneath the minerality, lovely concentration and vibrant acidity, a knockout performance. — 6 days ago

9.1

Intense black currant with a bit of vanilla, it has enough fruit to be approachable, but enough structure that it really should have more time in the cellar. — 6 days ago

9.3

Red currant and a fair bit of savory bell pepper, great elegance with a good bit of fine tannin and drinking very well. An outstanding performance from a vintage that is generally mediocre at best. — 6 days ago

9.2

Honeyed apricots with a twist of honeysuckle and a dash of slate, rich but with a tangy finish, still on the young side, another example of the nearly immortal 1998 Austrians. — 6 days ago

8.8

Extremely sweet with a lot of spice, I prefer my Port a bit drier. — 6 days ago

9.4

Black currant and leather, fabulous complexity, still young with air it keeps getting more expansive and impressive, it has decades of life left, but is awfully enjoyable now with a decent decant. — 6 days ago
