  Served at my 1995 single blind tasting. I was the only sighted person. $35. Cloudy and very light like a Jura. Not a bad wine, actually impressive for the age and the pedigree, but I wouldn't seek it out. Most of the fruit is gone, but there is still backbone and some tannin which shows the early to mid 90s style before things exploded in CA and a 13% pinot became like the bigfoot. Only seen in rare grainy photos and talked about by pasty nerds.
