Dark and brooding, plenty of wet earth and graphite. Dark red fruit on the nose and palate, more extracted than I’d guess from an HM, masculine with an alluring dark herbal streak. Kept going back to this. Will get better for 3-5 years still, lots of power to spare.

Tad ripe and musty

Old and dusty (especially on the finish). Lots of forest floor compost, hints of tart, wild blackberries. Pet a really old black Labrador. Like a really sweet old lab, that maybe smells a little musky. Just like Stella, the 14 year old Labrador (pictured).

Damnnnnn. Killer 82
Sep 28th, 2021This is definitely a Giant Schnauzer wine. Dark ripe fruits, like purple plums or olallieberries. Smooth, like a newly discovered berry bush refreshed after a spring rainfall. Bold, yet humbled.

1995 vintage. On the river near St. Estephe; very firm when young but ages well. 54% Merlot 48% cab, rest CF. Found it austere, but we determined it was bottle variation - the rest of the group loved it.

Deeply savory

Excellent. Very different than the 00. Full bodied. Still carries a bit of that woody construct but in a subtle way vs the 00 which was light in body with strong hints of green pepper and cedar.

Enjoyed on a train ride home from NYC. Opens up immediately to a bouquet of smoky cigars and old leather. Palate still holds texture and tannins still have some grip. Totally pleasurable to drink now 😄
