November 19, 2022 - Sadly, there was enough oxidation here to mar the underlying sound bits. Others were more optimistic.

October 10, 2018 - Recorked in 1998, this seems to have been heavily topped off. The wine had power. The tannins and textures were on the rustic side and this seemed to be lacking some of the nuances associated with 90 years of age. Good, but sadly, not great.

September 8, 2018 - Thick and rich. Showing some age and light oxidation on the nose but a much fresher and fully intact palate. 93-

February 26, 2017 - Gorgeous wine with great intensity and wonderful aged notes of cow dung, floral earth and smoky red fruits. Finishes complex with delicious spice notes. Very fresh with good acids and still some tannins left. Wow!

February 23, 2017 - Ruby red clarity. Color belies the age. Soil and funk mellowed and integrated with the fruit. Great acid core remaining here.
