Truly excellent - classic cab; dark purple; notes of mint, tobacco, dark fruit, mature but still fleshy.

Amazing that this 16 year old is showing so well. Still lots of fruit - bramble strawberry blueberry even a little apple. Structured and layered but bright.

Missed the window Started closed, opened a bit for about 10-15 minutes and then lost any remaining flavor. Opened something else.

Simply amazing - a first rate aged california cabernet. Dark red, plenty of fruit, but layers of flavor perfectly integrated. Almost seemed like there was a sweetness to it, even through dry.

Drinking well with an hour of decanting and aeration. Huge wine - only black, great structure yet plenty of accessible black fruit and plenty of remaining tannins, tobacco, leather and other complex flavors. Star of the night - we drank without food but would be great with a peppery ribeye

Completely fresh yet opened 1/2 hour after opening the bottle. Explodes -- hedonistic with fruit forward balanced with bright acidity and plenty of backbone Exceptional

Full out chardonnay - medium yellow; full-bodied, huge extraction with bright acidity and balanced oak notes to make a voluptous white. Compares well to Kistler (especially Hudson); Kongsgaard and grand cru puligny montrachets

Still going strong. A bit of well integrated tannin, mouthfeel has richness, and bright red fruit flavors with plenty of acidity.
