  No formal notes. Past prime for this bottle, fell off after 40min open.

  Similar to last note, less perceived crunchiness, more saline and sous bois notes. Wonderful wine.

  Oh baby. Lean, earthy, a bit dirty in the nose. Bright flavors of black cherry, rose potpourri, sandalwood, and salted plums, leather, etc... emanate. It's like a hug from an old friend you haven't seen in a while. In the mouth, the wine is med-full- tannins are still there, fruit acid is bright and crunchy- giving you a wine with plenty of verve, but starting to wane in fruit/body. Flavors of bing cherry, leather, bretty funk, blood, and pomegranate are dense and persistent. This seems to be teetering in the middle of the back of the slope, this bottle in particular, probably better a few years ago, but still has a few years of pleasure to give. Well made and I really appreciate these older wines out of California.

  Quite nice. Better than 1993 and 1994. Pretty nose of dark cherry with mineral notes. Palate shows nice balance with good acidity, some tannin and good finish. In a European rather than Napa style, but showing nice balance and finesse that makes it quite attractive.
