The big brother to the 1999 tasted earlier. Lots of dark chocolate covered raspberries, Unbelievably present. Rich. It tastes expensive.

Took a bit to open up and was afraid it would fall on it's face fast but it showed nicely after being decanted.

What were you doing in 1992? Dunno either, it was the year I moved back to California from NYC

1992 vintage; drank incredibly well at 25 years old - plum and prune notes, dark currant, nice earth and spices. Very nice experience.

An homage to those bygone days before overripe fruit that create wines that overwhelm the palate. Still plenty of fruit but the wine has structure and balance that has only improved with age.
