  great fruit, classy, very new world but without the serious oomph of a top year, my companions found it on the weak side, but i couldnt stop gushing about how lovely it was. and then they accused it of being Burgundian! but, i must say it had real power with a sense of weightlessness. Also notable was a hint of barnyard, with tannins still quite present ; while i think this is snack-dab in its drinking window, i see no sign of it fading anytime soon. perhaps i need to seek out off-vintage Bryant.

  PnP. Ready to go. Bouquet of a pure left bank Bordeaux, and if blinded, would have been difficult to discern a difference.

  My first experience with this producer, so wasn't sure what to expect. I bought this at auction after seeing positive CT scores! This community was not wrong, this wine is really great right now. Classic and elegant old Napa, you could throw this into a blind tasting of similarly priced 90s Bordeaux and surprise a lot of people I'd think.

  This is showing brilliantly now. Mature, but not fully so, there is more positive evolution ahead. A smooth, rich wine, with great class and complexity. Good acidity, with firm yet silky tannins which hold the wine together very well. Surprised me as to how good it was, and I’d put this in front of the 1994 now. There is another 15-20 years of great drinking ahead with this wine.

  I drank this bottle partly out of concern that it would soon be past its prime. In fact, while it may not improve, it is delicious at this mature stage. The flavors tend toward dark fruits, blueberry, and it has a chewy, leathery texture after two hours of decanting and some time in the glass.
