8/16/2020 - Clrv Likes this wine: 92 pointsStill drinking nicely. Pop and poured it was just a little closed, but a 45-1hr decant opened up nicely. Did not take formal notes, but nice balance with a slight fruit forward. Nice long finish. Drinking nicely now and most likely will not evolve much but could still set for many years. |

8/3/2020 - Clrv wrote: 91 pointsI still think this bottle has potential as it did finally open up at the 3-4 hour mark. The tannis finally settled down and let the fruit shine through. Keeping my drinking window the same. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1/4/2020 - Clrv Likes this wine: NRLast bottle and surprisingly still drinking well. Previously I had thought it needed to be drank by 2019, but there are still enough tannins to hold it for a year or two. |

10/6/2018 - Clrv wrote: 92 pointsNeeds at least 1.5hr decant to start opening up. No formal notes as we where in a public setting and had a few beers before hand but had Cherry and earth nose with raspberry and tobacco on the palette with long finish. Im holding my other 3 bottles. Will revisit in 5yrs |

1994 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Bella OaksRutherford more |
5/26/2018 - Clrv wrote: 90 pointsGarnet color with hints of forest floor and dark fruit. Light body with Slight tannins and acidity but the two were still balanced. Slight tobacco and dry dark fruit with a medium finish. Although this bottle is well past its prime and is fading. I would say you have maybe another year before it's gone. |

5/25/2018 - Clrv wrote: 91 points- Violet color - As others have said this is a slap in your face fruit bomb. With blackberry taking over your nose. Dark fruit and vanilla with a raisin finish. This is not my type of wine but will give it a 91 for what it is. A fun, fruity, Different wine. |

5/15/2018 - Clrv Likes this wine: 91 pointsDid not take proper notes as we opened during a Business dinner. Not in a great place at the moment seemed very closed and never really opened. A lot of heat with a little black fruit. Won’t open another bottle for a least a year. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

5/4/2018 - Clrv wrote: 95 pointsFormal notes were not taking as we drank with friends, but excited to see how this evolves. Upon opening you are hit with Blueberry. After a 2 hour decant Blueberry, dark fruit, vanilla, and a little pepper. medium high acidity, with a medium body. Let these sit until at least 2022 unless you have several bottles. |

3/30/2018 - Clrv wrote: 87 pointsOpened at a gathering and did not take formal notes. This bottle was really closed and did not ever really open up. Popped and poured then decanted for 3 hours. Not a whole lot of change within that time. Makes me wonder if the wine will evolve much from here. |

Decanted for maybe 30 min and was nice for what it is. Did not evolve much so I will drink the remaining three bottles with in a year or two. |
