  April 17, 2024 - Much better than the '89 for me tonight.
  
  Mid garnet in the glass. Nose of light cherry and florals.
  
  Palate of slightly tart red fruit but this is deeper and better than the '89 right now. Very, very good.

  April 14, 2024 - I have had some reservations about the ‘95 vintage and readiness. This was a commmanderie event, but if I was choosing would have been wary of ‘95.
  My concern was unfounded as this wine was drinking very nicely, at least a 95 for ‘95!
  Double decanted for most likely 2 hours before serving. Beautifully classic and full of dark fruit with all the structure but a balance that made it very enjoyable. Long finish, wine of the night.

  April 11, 2024 - 10th of 24, decanted 2 hours, perfect cork and level, touch down from bottle last Feb, super nuance and persistence just a tad angular and austere, a fine run thing between fruit and tannin and slight lack of grip, probable upside, 20+ years. VF (18.5).

  March 8, 2024 - Pop and pour. Aromatic density off the charts. At first a bit tight with chiseled tannins, but then the wine opened up softened. Palate profile is clearly cabernet: leafy (but not in a bad way), black & red fruits, bit of blood orange. Really complex and elegant

  March 3, 2024 - blind, side by side with Shafer Hillside select 1995
  No chance against the Cali Cab. Elegant, reluctant and some dark cassis notes. 95
