I had two 1995 bottles from B&H, one is TLK Cab, and the other one is Syrah. Both tasted very disappointing to me. They were both turning into pure alcohol, nothing much left. Avoid.

Floral notes and black fruit on the nose. Full bodied, dark in color. Licorice, cinnamon, carmalized wood, deep, black fruits; blackberry, blueberry. Very smooth, classy, mouth and throat coating. Wish I had more.

French Bakery BYO 1990's Cali Cab Sauv dominant wines; 12/19/2007-12/20/2007: Jerry's wine. He and I, both thought that our wines in this flight(my 96 Hillside Select) would prove to be WOTN. WERE WE DISAPPOINTED! This wine received 5 votes to 7 for the Shafer. But both wines were somewhat brooding monsters, that probably needed aeration and several hours in the glass. Good but this flight was outclassed by flight 5(Caymus, Della Valle, and Insignia), and 6(the Ridge Monte Bello vertical).

The nose on this wine was so rich, I thought it was going to be big and bold. Once tasted, it was really smooth and velevty but lack any structure. It was very hollow almost empty. Too smooth for my taste. Maybe past its time?

Powerful, rich, balanced wine that opened up beautifully as dinner wore on. Had with osso buco.
