December 29, 2023 - Tons of bay leaf and savory tobacco, ashy, aged earthy and decaying notes, tart red currant, good acid lift, cooler year character, salty finish; they don’t make them like this anymore.

October 24, 2014 - Strong cassis, dark fruit, nice spice. Some nice acidity/ structure
holding it together. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable. -

May 12, 2013 - From a magnum. The cork crumbled as I removed the cork, but the wine inside was fantastic! Still plenty of fruit left, leathery taste, and a long finish. Held it's own against an '82 Grange.
