  This is still young, but I couldn't resist opening one just to see where it is. Loaded with plum, cocoa, with some licorice and a stony/graphite hint. I drank this over 4 days and it was definitely much more open and appealing on days 2 and 3. This is not a "tannic monster," so is quite nice even at this youthful stage. Drink, with a long decant or, preferably, hold for at least 7+ yrs. This will definitely reward patience.

  Absolutely stunning. I opened about two hours before a meal of mushroom paella (made by good friend, Robert). Gorgeous nose and palate of medium red fruit, graphite, sweetish licorice, earthy. We drank this in Feb. 2024, but I forgot to write down notes. Here we are, two months later, and I'm trying to recreate the experience. Suffice it to say, this is loaded, beautiful, graceful. One the best wines I've enjoyed in the past decade. Safe to open now, but can sit quietly in the cellar for a few more years without losing a step. Next up, the 1989 vintage. :)

  I agree 100% with my friend Allred's notes below. Spot on. I liked it even more and give it 93 pts. I agree, too, that this has the stuffing to cellar another 10+ years. I have one more bottle and will TRY, really try, to hold it. But, this is so lovely now...can I resist?
