  • Last tasted 13 years ago. Still very good though I don't believe this is getting any better. If I had more bottles, I'd be drinking them very soon. Very Bordeaux like nose and flavor. Black raspberries, black cherries, tobacco, licorice, and earthiness in the nose. Concentrated black fruits in the flavor, blackberries, black cherries and hints of chocolate. Nicely balanced, complex and a medium to long finish.

  • Excellent Cal Cab at 22 yrs old. Very composed and tasty with no rough edges and lots of fruit and some gentle tannins. Now would be a good time to finish these up as they can still be delicious.

  • 醒酒器两个小时,深宝石红色,闻香有一股肉鲜,新鲜红黑果混合着香草和香料味,入口酸度中高,酸度感觉是三只里最酸的,单宁紧致,有些抓人,黑果香气为主,酒体强劲,香气浓郁,后段辛辣,伴随着香草巧克力和面包香气。三支酒里最强壮的一支,果味成熟,口感新鲜,现在喝还有点新,从单宁的感觉应该再放个十年才进入适饮巅峰期说不定,它不是三支里我最喜欢的,但我猜这款酒评分应该挺高的。

  • Bad oak/musty taint. Also past best - clear age on the rim, good mouthfeel (rich and almost sweet), but fruit has left the building. Very disappointing. Has probably suffered from less than perfect storage for a few years.

(This wine previously seen on Ep #1); NOSE-big nose, really dark blackberry currant, hint of plum, alcoholic; TASTE-really tight grip, really firm tannins, dry on mid-palate, long finish, black licorice, extremely complex & rich, dryer than I remember on Ep. #1, black currant, an obvious OAK on the mid-palate through the finish, good for Bordeaux drinkers, will cellar for 10-15 years; GV-93/94
