Last bottle, and another disappointment. Slightly flawed. There was some fruit here, but it was muddled, and in the background. These were nowhere near as good as the 1992s we had in the Spring. I suspect I've learned my lesson, and will stop experimenting with Cali chards this old.

Same as the previous bottle. Slightly oxidized. Drinkable, but not particularly enjoyable. The 1992s that we had earlier this year were all much better than these.

No score. Drinkable, but borderline oxidized. This is the third straight flawed bottle of this wine. I got it on auction, so now I'm wondering about the provenance of this lot. At least I picked them up for $15 apiece.
