  Pop and pour. Drunk over several hours.
  
  At first la oamy ferrous, earth driven nose with undergrowth, bouillon, savory herbs and a mix of dark and red fruits. It fleshes out over a few hours, gains more fruit. It's midweighted and sapid with excellent palate presence, with breadth and intensity without heaviness. Savory and soil more than fruit driven. Structured, harmonious and balanced. Power and poise. Long. At peak. 94

  Impressively fresh, with strong acid even after 24 years. Remains my favorite vintage of this wine...red and black cherries with a subtle earthy texture and mild tannins. Precisely balanced, drinking flawlessly right now without decanting.

  deep red color. Classic Oregon point nose with some hints of barnyard earthiness. Great fruit /acid balance and finish. Still has a number of years if properly collared

  Pop and pour. Drinking nicely, mellow and integrated with notes of mocha on the finish. WOTN versus 2008 Laurene and 2003 Willakenzie Pierre Leon.
