This wine was all about structure. Leathery dried red and black fruits were nestled perfectly into its delicate tannic frame. Like antique furniture you didnt want to be too rough with it, but truly beautiful and comfy. Amazed at the longevity.

1975 Mayacamas. Dinner at Tap w Frederic. Drank last, after the 1975 Phelps Eisele and the 1990 Leroy. We opened and poured it. The nose was a little dusty at first (Frederic detected a little cork, even), but this blew off pretty quickly. This wine was the opposite of the Eisele, which was refined and elegant. This wine was muscular and punchy. A much bigger wine in the mouth. Will probably last longer than the Eisele.
