1992 from magnum. Cork was crumbly, and first to show was American oak on the nose. After decanting it's really fleshed out and I almost called it old world blind. A great pairing for pork tacos. — 9 years ago
Guenoc/Langtry are constantly changing their labels and branding, not that this is confusing to their consumers or anything 😾
Still, this Claret is reliable vintage after vintage; a triumph of the vinting and mixing arts over the slings and arrows thrown by outrageous nature.
This wine has the expected slight oak with cherry mocha fruits and a smooth drinkable body.

Dark fruit, dark cherries, cedar, turned earth and leather. Grippy tannin and long lingering finish of baking spices. — 7 years ago
A nice example of the exciting trend towards "black wine",this PV is all dark tannins, black currants, and inky cherry tones. — 8 years ago
Darkest red color and a sweet, mature bouquet (2006 drank in 2015). Complex mouthfeel would be wonderful with lamb and heavy meaty dishes. Plummy and dark berry notes. — 9 years ago

This inky, Merlot-dominant blend is a full-on Goth wine: dark currants, dark cherries, dark blueberries…
The oak is restrained and the jamminess is less than in recent releases. A bit of decanting helps to reduce the jam factor a lot.
I’m still not completely sold on the “new and improved” Langtry wine style, but I see this as a solid step in the right direction, perhaps someday restoring Old Soldier Road to its former greatness. — 4 months ago
