Crystalline fruit - cherry, redcurant jelly, eucalyptus, black earth, juniper. Amazing development with air. Not as loud as the '68 or '74 but complete with excellent equilibrium. Special.

California Wine Weekend; 12/1/2023-12/3/2023 (Mos Eisley Cantina & Waterhouse Restaurant): Nose: Blackberry, wintergreen, mushroom, shitake, cedar, mint and olive. Palate: Beautiful black fruit, plum, blackberry, mint and eucalyptus. Shows more loamy earth than either the 74 or 68, but there is a warmth in the sun kissed black currant and blackberry fruit that is really attractive in the 69 that does not present in the others.

Wine Workshop: Heitz Martha's Vineyard (The Dutch): Another one of my favorite wines for the evening. This was really bright and lovely and vibrant and jumping out of the glass. Lots of tobacco. A bit of mint and eucalyptus. Still the fruit. It's drinking really well but with lots of life left.
