  June 5, 2022 - Youthful appearance and mature nose with some funk. On the palate, the acidity is overwhelming. Like lemon juice. I think the winemaker acidified this wine in the cellar to make it more "balanced". Now that the fruit has faded, the acid dominates.

  September 7, 2013 - Old & Rare CA Cabs: Sweet caramelly nuances, remnants of fruit, no tannins at first, but some coarse grip in the finish; wild berry notes with sort of zingy freshness. This turned to raisiny flavors rather quickly. Nice, bottle--far better than the first one I tasted.

  July 19, 2013 - This was darker than the '83 Lapelletrie and '86 Ormes de Pez with a muddy dark black brick color; plummy, macerated cherry nose, some wet tobacco, well integrated but a touch sweet oak/ripe old red fruits still present (burried in the stewed fruit); sour cherry, high acid in the mouth. Great condition, excelllent fill, interesting, but tough sour finish.

  January 2, 2010 - Dark red. Definetly brings the funks. Some mature cabernet notes when the funk blows off. Decent to drink, lots of acid left but no tannins. Interesting.
