  blind side by side with Musar 1988
  Maybe the only "disappointing" flight. Both a bit broad, missing elegance and finesse. Fruit lack and short in length. 93

  Open and left to rest for a good. We felt the wine needed nothing more.
  In discussing how to rate it Nicol gave that reply that she does with amazing wines. “I am not sure what more I could ask of a wine” and this says it all.
  Well aged but still very much alive, well secondary but with a healthy vibrinar dark fruit. Leather and spice in the nose and a nose that we will remember for some time. The result of amazing classical winemaking aided by Napa fruit.

  Phillip Togni Retrospective: Not a good bottle or vintage, one of the two (or in this case, perhaps both).

  Philip Togni vertical (1983-96) (Chicago, IL): Something not quite right here. This was a dull thud of a nose, and when I tasted it, there was a little corkiness on the palate.

  Knockout stuff. Beautiful aroma of red berries and tar as soon as I took the cork out (which was in great shape). Had side by side with an 88 Dun Howell Mountain. This seemed like it could easily age for another 3-5 years and continue to improve as the tannins continue to integrate. Really enjoyed this a whole lot.
