November 7, 2021 - From a 1.5L. format. Deep dark garnet in color with slight clearing at the edges. Full, forward & fragrant nose of dark fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & mineral & floral notes of violets, minty, leather, tobacco, cocoa, spices, herbs, minerals & a cedar. Full bodied, with a very good concentration of well balanced & silky smooth textured, ripe dark fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with spices, herbs, cocoa & minerals. Long lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present & at 39 years of age, it may be at its pinnacle of development although it should hold for a bit longer. Cork was clean & intact with the fill level at mid-neck.

June 27, 2017 - My first time having this. The bottle was in absolutely perfect condition. Explosive aromatics of black cherries, cassis, elderflowers, spices, also some animalic/meaty notes. It's full bodied, dense and powerful, with medium acidity and medium tannin. Excellent length. A perfectly aged, balanced and sexy Napa Cab. This was really hard to resist.

December 14, 2016 - Acker Holiday Auction (A Voce Madison): Really enjoyed this one. Drinking window in CT obviously not correct since it was still going quite well. Red currants, well aged, more old world in style. Bit of barnyard. Good wine.

July 18, 2015 - (From magnum). Fine aged cab. Thinned out just a bit- really more aged bordeaux-like. Subtle mid palate of graphite and stone. Finish has a slight touch of sweetness which compliments the wine nicely.
