  February 15, 2019 - Bummer, probably past its prime - a bretty funk overwhelmed the nice dark fruit cigar box notes... Kept trying to go back to it and like it more but couldn't get past a mid-80s-ish point impression.

  April 27, 2015 - A little tannic and harsh. Nicely aged but not as smooth as I had hoped. Great QPR!

  May 18, 2014 - Dark red, very minimal bricking at the edges. Looks like a much younger wine . Has licorice, cigar tobacco and subtle candy apple on the nose and follows through on the palate. Somewhat tart, and this really needed about three hours to be at its best. Had originally bought six and this was the last straggler. Good Cali Cabs really do okay in the cellar. This would give a comparably priced Bordeaux of the same year a run for its money.

  August 13, 2013 - Looked like a beautiful cork but my longest corkscrew lost a tiny bit that made the first pouring nervous. In consequence I decanted immediately from the cellar. I thought a tiny glass of the dregs looked dark and disturbing with frightening VA (maybe affected by reviews I saw here--). In the glass the wine was of mature but not aged color and absolutely fabulous in the mouth with a fine finish. Richer and more nuanced than a '90 Ch Meyney I loved three days ago.
