  June 30, 2008 - 20th Anniversary - Huntington Beach, California; 6/30/2008-7/10/2008 (Huntington Beach - Paradise House aka Joe's Pad): Just too tough to score. Started out with a crumbled cork. Light, brickish in color, no nose. Out of bottle without food ... a sour cherry fruit, a bit past it's prime solid cab from the 80's. An interesting throwback.
  
  With steak a few hours later a bit of a french nose, dusty, leather, aged dried fruit, cheese?? End of bottle, 2 hours, opening up. Sour fruit attack is gone, acids and tannims still there, wow. Long lingering finish of aged jammy wine. Yummy in the end. Some structure emerges. Better. 92ish.
