So old world in its interpretation and how it showed with graceful age here in 2019. Very little intervention in the winemaking as I have come to understand it from Randall and getting to know these wines past and present. A surprise winner of the bottles opened as part of dinner in good company. I will keep my eyes peeled for more bottles of the 1980’s vintages from LG as I have seen a few pop up across Sonoma County’s wine honey holes 🍯

In amazing shape, exceeded expectations bigly. Red berries, plums, cassis, great acidity, just really pretty wine. Many called Bdx on this one

Either this or the 1982 is the best wine Patrick Campbell ever made. Still opaque ruby, tons of fruit, great acidity, balanced tannins. Amazing! Sourced at Chambers NYC.

Great earthiness and balance. Beautiful food wine. Great depth of dark fruit

Wow In a flight of chateau montelena and caymus 85s this drop kicked them out of the room. Hints of Brett but adds to the complexity of black olive, camphor, Dried fruits and herbs. Patrick Campbell made so many great wines and does not get enough credit this wine sings, bravo.

Absolutely lovely older Cal Cab, faint browning, still shows loads of structure, just a trace of a green note lurks underneath, but balanced with a long, lingering finish, great stuff!!

A savory mix of bell pepper, dark cherry and black currant fruit, and a compelling meatiness on the finish, supported by tongue-prickling acidity and tannin, it has definitely hit its peak but isn't at all in decline. Magnificent.

A little bret to sauce up the already complex bouquet and flavors. An excellent 85 cab at its peak.
