Community Tasting Notes (7) Avg Score: 93.4 points

  • No notes as posting at least a month later, but this was drinking very well, and we greatly enjoyed. I was worried given age and Napa (and none of the 82 and 85s left I have are drinking great), but we were really impressed how this has held up. Noticed the alcohol %. Score would probably have been in low 90s.

  • WineBid bottle. Capsule was basically welded to the bottle and cork, and the line on the cork was very high on this mid-shoulder fill. I was worries about provenance/storage, but my tasting buddies (who have lots of experience with older wines) assured me there was nothing wrong with the bottle

    The notes below ascribing vibrancy and liveliness to this wine are in line with my experience. Nose showed some scorched earth and burned rubber, even a little petrol. The palate had dried maraschino cherry, blackberry, and tar with really nice supporting acidity. There are still a few tannins hanging around, too. All in all a nice wine. Not my favorite aroma, but when you account for the remaining verve, it’s a good bottle. Drink now and buy with confidence over the next 5 years if it’s a decent bottle. it’s not like there are many people holding these for peak maturity.

  • A very Bordeaux-esque nose. Dark cherry. Earth

    Mouth - lively at 30 yrs of age. Singing in fact. Lovely and great fruited, almost liquereqsue. Slightly tarry in fact. Slow to come around appreciating this but wow. Blinded I might have guessed barolo
