Stores in subpar conditions and drinking remarkably fresh. Decanted for an hour before tasting. Wine has integrated remarkably well, with a nice juiciness and well-grounded tannins. Still has legs, likely to drink well for at least another 5 years.

Tasted blind. Tart fruit, oak, pickles, herbs, and a hint of VA on the nose. Red fruit, with integrated tannins on the palate. Little fruit and too much oak. Not my favorite wine, to be honest.

Remarkably fresh and displaying hint of oak and eucalyptus. A lovely old California cab.

Lovely wine. Drinking beautifully at age 30. Fresh and vibrant strawberry flavors. Not much body or length but just very enjoyable.

Achim's Magnum Tasting 2015 (Behrens am Kai in Düsseldorf 1 star restaurant): served blindly, decent fruit notes, some dill in the nose, some herbal aspects, good acidity but the finish is middlelong and a little bit bitter, not the class ofthe other wines
