  October 14, 2020 - Garnet to brick in color. Nose is rich with ripe black and red cherry, old soft leather, cocoa and dust. Palate of black cherry, red cherry, chocolate, soft but not absent tannins, low alcohol, med acid, and a smooth, long finish. Past its best days but still a wonderful treat. What were you doing in '86 while these grapes ripened? I was 8, wrapping up 2nd grade and rounding towards 3rd!

  July 15, 2017 - Opened about 20 minutes prior to serving. On the nose it already showed advanced age. Lots of black olive and hints of dry leather. Not much fruit. Texturally though, this was wonderful. There was a fine balance of acidity and tannins throughout. If there had been some fruit to support that, it could've been a great wine.
