May I add my kudos to Mark Lyon, now of Eco Terreno Wines, for his early masterworks @ Sebastiani. This wine is still so very vibrant, with sweet fruit, warm berry compote on the nose and palate, plus a wonderful melding of oak underpinning that seals it all around. This is a triumph 19 years later and, at an original cost around $15, some value. If you have any--well stored of course--enjoy! No rush!!

Still a great wine. Blackberry, vanilla, and some mint. Grainy tannins which go away fairly quickly with air. Pretty remarkable for such an old wine $15 wine.

Amazing wine, still holding up. Structure is still there due to still present tannins. Bouquet of red fruits, palate shows blackberry and cassis, nice complexity and length. What a QPR this was!!!!!

Not that bad, considering the age and original cost.
