I have basically a disaster of a birth year so to have a wine that drinks pretty well is always great and this was drinking very well. Surprised me a bit how nice it is. Perhaps I'll have to keep an eye out for more of these old school style Calis even though '81 wasn't the best year out there either. This was a lovely and charming bottle. Interesting to see that auction values for it have gone down... maybe I'll need to find some more....

With BLR at BLR's. Tremendous color. Good legs, and no sign of age. Nose is neutral; neither good nor bad. Faint red fruit. Flavor is okay. Nothing to write home about. 5-8-13-4: 80/100
