Gift from a fellow Berserker. Cork crumbled, so needed to use an aerator to catch the cork pieces. Tight at first, somewhat muted. Red cherry fruit emerged after 45-60 mins and continued to dominate throughout the course of the bottle. Was quite a special wine after 35 years from vintage. THANKS DAMON!!!

Out of magnum, a real Christmas treat. Still deep in color with that beautiful old cabernet nose. A great match with prime rib, everyone loved this wine. Bottle was signed by Coppola. Kudos to Francis Ford and his winemaker!

. Very tense and young-tasting. Thrilling, kinetic pompoms of spice and inky fruit skin. Tightly organized. Dense. Sensational, natural bloom of aromatic freshness characterizes its first hour open. . I sense a deliberate modesty of extraction—an analog approach to the risk of compromising aromatic interest; it marks the era that produced it. . Savory. Beginning to break down now, three hours later. Still amazingly sweet, fragrant, energetic licorice stem, blackberry, sour pepper, overlaid with cured sage and mint.

Fantastic aged Napa Cab. Damp leaves, tobacco, graphite, bright cherries, and racy acidity. Wish I had 12 more.
