A little short and flat on the palate, but wonderfully varied savor on the nose.

Still plenty of life, color. Earthy fruit.

Amazing color. Still quite primary. Even a little nerve. Not as profound as 91 Monte Bello by a stretch. Great shape and pleasant drinking.

All you could ask for from older cab, leather, tobacco, brambly fruit, spice. Beautiful texture. Harmonious tannins. So balanced. Why must I wait 20 years for wine like this!?!?

From a magnum, there is still a bit of fruit left. Exceeded expectations but wish it had been opened years before. Still a bow to Paul Draper for his superb winemaking skills.

This wine is absolutely singing. Bursting with fruit and all alive.

Amazing. Mellow and mild but still kicking. A dark spicy treat for thanksgiving.
