In good shape—lots of tertiary notes, herbaceous, soil, old leather, dried porcini, still some smooth plum, black currant, blackberry fruit and holding on to some structure. I feel like the cab tends to predominate in this wine

Impressive considering age and appellation. Even though Trevallon is a reputed producer, this was still a major surprise. Served blind, I assumed it was from Bdx.

Interesting comparison of '91 and '93. Both were beautiful! The '93 showed more intensity and bigger fruit while still very elegant. This is a Syrah Cabernet blend where the Cab seems to take over the nose, while on the palate the animal more wild notes of aged Syrah were more present.

Mature, some smokiness from the Syrah, also mature herbal notes from the Cab, drinking beautifully tonight.
