  Dinner at home, Mill Valley, CA. From 750ml. Popped and poured.
  
  Vintage label had disappeared but the cork included the year. An intoxicating mix of plush lanolin and yellow stone fruits dappled with complicating savory kräuter and pepper notes. Round and viscous in the mouth, coating the palate with beautifully mature fruit and rocky soil notes. Thoroughly enjoyable. Hard to believe it’s 33 years old. But for the deep yellow color, I would have guessed it was barely a teenager.
