Blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, from Monte Bello Vineyard, deep Ruby with purple edges, aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet spice and toasty oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and ripe blueberry with vanilla, cedar and tobacco. Fine defined tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty and earthy notes. Nice! — 17 days ago
Buttercup gold core with light green tones to the edges, and a medium body with nice long legs. The nose is reminiscent of salt air, with apricot pastry and notes of florals, maybe orange or lemon blossom, layered beneath. The salinity is prominent on the palate, but fades in the middle, revealing green figs, cumquat, apricot, some vegetal notes, almost dry wood like, with definitely some lightly present oak, but a silky, glazed pastry like finish that lasts and lasts. A beautiful and restrained representation that pretty much could be old world if you weren’t paying attention. — 10 days ago

1989 vintage. Wowzers. The 1985 is close to a drink now proposition but this 1989 is just entering prime drinking territory. So intense. So fabulous. Massive, encapsulating nose. Medium body but overall, a Schwarzeneggeresque impression. Personally, almost never, ever go above a 9.6 but warranted here. F. Off the charts concentration married to pristine beauty. If you've got it lounging in the cellar, you've got (at least) a twenty-spot to decide whether to drink it or not. Have never tasted (other than vintage port(o)) a wine that was already 30+ years old that showed this much youthful promise of an easy two decades of top-notch drinking ahead. Phenomenal and a don't miss. — 18 days ago
This is the wine Roy and I had in Florence and we liked it so much we went to buy it in a wine bar afterwards. We only bought one bottle and so we wanted to save it for a special occasion - and we did. We drank it on Freddy’s 1st birthday with mine and Roy’s parents here in Zurich. Loved it as much as I remembered :) — 2 days ago
