  Just shy of 2 years from my last bottle. This needed about 30 min to open up in the glass. Although the wine is alive and the balance and finish are good, the wine is essentially without fruit. It was still a fun and pleasant drinking experience and it paired well with Japanese A5 filet mignon but these are over the hill and should be consumed near term. The longevity though is still a testament to Cathy’s incredible winemaking.

  Popped and poured- ready to go with 20 min of air. Stellar wine that’s barely identifiable as new world. Has all the pencil shavings and graphite that brings you right to Bordeaux. The balance and finish are great. Certainly in its prime with a solid 5 years plus of good drinking. Revisit 2025

  This bottle had seen better days. Cork disintegrated, tawny color, reduced oxidative nose.

  4 hour decant- not nearly as good as when tasted at the winery. Perhaps a slightly off bottle but nonetheless still a delight to drink. Compared to the 1997 Kronos that I drank last week, the 1997 was far superior. Hopefully my remaining 89’s are better. This is in its prime but no rush to drink.
