December 2, 2023 - This was not a typical Bosche' and over 50 years I have tasted many vintages going back to 1984. Definitely not spoiled or over the hill. Still ripe, still full of blackberry, dark cherry, leather but some things were missing. No eucalyptus notes, diminished tannins, medium bodied and a bit flat when I expected bold and brooding. Yet there were no signs of premature aging. No orange tint, no caramelization, no funky odor. Possibly just caught this in a resting phase.

April 9, 2023 - This was excellent! We thought it was a great example of a Rutherford Cab. Tannins and oak were well incorporated. Nice long finish.

August 7, 2022 - Expected a little more out of this. My prior note from 6 years ago showed much more depth. It had been stored in perfect conditions since then. This time around it was all supple mellow fruit. Tannins had integrated. medium finish. Drink now.

January 25, 2021 - Wonderful cherry and vanilla bouquet. Smooth and tasty to the berry last drop. Tannins add to the complexity of flavors. Long lasting finish. Hope I can wait two years to drink my last two bottles.
