January 18, 2022 - This wine was on fire. Just absolutely stunning Napa Cabernet. Color was tending towards garnet, but still lots of red/purple shining through the core. The nose was beautiful; cedar, tobacco, cocoa powder, red cherries, and violets. On the palate, the tannins are fully refined/silky. Acidity is spot on. Medium body. Long, mouth watering finish. Superb and had plenty of life left. Probably the best 70s era Napa Cab we've had.

September 13, 2017 - 1974 California Tasting (Cafe Boulud): Very nice structure. Saturated fruit and a great nose of raspberries. Remarkable how well these 43 year olds drink. 1974 Cali Cab tasting

June 11, 2011 - Back, Back in the USofA (StrEat Restaurant, Austin, Texas): Brick red/garnet in color with a pale brown rim, odors of mint, old ashtray, leather and grease. Bright acidity, soft tannins. Sweet fruit, balanced flavors, espresso-like intensity. Many tasters thought this wine was “going downhill” but for one tasting group it was the top wine in this flight.
