1994 vintage. Nice fill with a slightly shrunken and fully saturated cork. Durand helped plenty in the opening assist. Not decanted and tasted after 1.25 hours open. Hadn’t tasted since the early 2000’s. Definitely dropped all the baby fat. Toffee, coffee and chocolate covered cherries in the nose. Light medium body (thought it would be a touch bigger). Still plenty of focus but slightly less grip than desired. Can it match biggie shizz like Montelena, Dunn, Diamond Creek, BV GDL Reserve, Mondavi Reserve, Araujo, Peter Michael Les Pavots, Mayacamas, etc? No. Is it really really nice? Absolutely. Can hold another 5-6 years at this juncture before boarding the downhill bell curve train. 11.8.24.

Oct 19th, 2017Deep red still bright on the palate and very dark berry. Went well with red meat and morracan chicken. Still good drinking at 23 years.

You know that dream you always have, where you are naked and slippin sliding with your high school crush? You know it. Stop lying. This beats that. Holy sh@$. You would never know it was a 1994. Amazing an every level. Perfect wine.
