On first open, the butter/malo notes are overpowering everything. Some fruit and acidity in there but hidden. Will see how it evolves with some air. — a month ago
What a delicious Cabernet. Probably one of the best Cali cabs for under $100. Monte Bello fruit. Cassis, blackberry and blueberry, with a mineral edge of graphite and slate. Impeccably balanced. — 7 days ago

1985 vintage. Nice fill. Excellent cork. Decanted and tasted after 15 minutes thru the 1.5 hours it lasted. Very little sed. Plenty of color. Light-medium body but got bigger and more developed after 45 mins or so. Tobacco, earth and cedar in spades along with dark fruit. This has plenty of life remaining at a high level. Wonderful stuff. 3.24.24. — a month ago

Did not disappoint. Liquid minerals and lots of acid. — 3 days ago
