  July 9, 2012 - For an old dog this is a good wine. I bought three of these at auction and this is certainly the best bottle of the three. Clear inky black color. no cloudiness whatsoever. beautiful nose of floral and sweet black fruits, figs, graphite, earth. The flavor profile is or a mature cab. Nice dark fruits, earth, a little pepper, a little tartness. all in all still an excellent bottle of wine.

  April 21, 2011 - Informal tasting of Older California Wines: This is the second of three of these purchased at auction. This wine was popped and poured. It had the nose and flavor profile of a an older cab that is a little tired. Even so it was a pleasant drink. Again, I believe that this wine would have been better 10 years ago.

  November 27, 2010 - This wine is doing alright for a 23 year old bottle. Nothing profound but it is certainly an enjoyable drink. Color is dark purple with no signs of bricking. Nose is earth, mushrooms with faint fruit and spice. Needs about an hour to really show well. The flavors are muted fruit with strong earth and forest floor flavors. This wine is probably 5-10 years past it's peak but still has good curb appeal.
