  At its debut, this is appealing - the raspberry and black cherry fruit is more serious than winsome, reinforced by ink and loam. What starts off as a little bit of almost-welcome VA at the outset quickly overtakes the other elements. At the outset, about 93 points.

  Blind: definitely aged color and weight, nose of old leather, some nice spice notes, lovely aged weathered medium cherry, dried cherry notes, supple, balanced, still some hints of fine tannins for structure, quite lovely. Guesses around the table ranged from Bordeaux, Napa, Barolo. I guessed early 70s, maybe late 60s, California. Something didn't quite seem like Napa to me, I was guessing Martin Ray, trying to remember if La Questa was still around then. A beautiful bottle in fine shape.

  Mushrooms, red fruit, cassis, and tobacco on the beautifully mature nose. Red fruit, iron, and underwood on the palate. Tannins are completely soft by now. Long, lingering finish. An amazing wine, has held up incredibly well. What a treat!
