4/20/2024 - passion4wine Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrinking beautifully right now… Others have said this wine doesn’t have a good QPR, however, I bought this wine for about $30 and at $30. It’s a huge value wine, nice notes of pair, citrus, and a bit of green apple and on the pallet, some honey notes, and more pair and a hint of banana… Beautiful |

4/5/2024 - englishman's claret wrote: 94 pointsAlmost 2 years to the day since I last had the pleasure of tasting this, the '74 Sterling Reserve shows similarly. Potent, serious, dusty black cherry, a little bit of bay leaf, mint, sage, black earth, coffee, cocoa powder. Serious, brooding, deep. Still whoppingly tannic! |

3/13/2024 - cupoverflowing1 Likes this wine: 92 pointsexcellent aromatics, with medium-full structure, noticeable tannins and a nice lingering finish. Still tasted great after 3 days in the frig. A bit unbalanced and needs years in the cellar, but overall good effort and worth the $$$ if on sale. |
