  November 29, 2022 - Drinking very well 28 years in. Perfumed nose of black fruit and baking spice. Soft on the tongue with cooked fruit and dark chocolate. Long finish with slight tannins.

  August 13, 2021 - Drinking very very well, profile stereotypical well matured high end CA cab with no surprises. A real pleasure to drink but soft, well integrated and tannins all gone so at or maybe just past prime - time to drink up any holdings. Took about 30 minutes to really wake up and start singing.

The tannins while present were not obtrusive, though I do feel they were in stronger than the fruit to match. Altogether a very special bottle of old cab.

  September 24, 2010 - Decanted one hour, enjoyed with a meal of: an heirloom tomato, avocado, red onion and feta salad, grilled yams and a Flannery Porterhouse.
  
  Garnet color, uniform to the rim, no sign of bricking. Cigar box, leather, black cherry, anise on the nose. Black cherries, dark red plums, great lift and balance. Flavors of leather and cedar were so well integrated into the dark fruits without any hint of mustiness or staleness. Very vibrant wine with lots of life left.

  September 16, 2010 - Beautiful medium bodied cab on the back half of its life. Tannins are still very assertive as the fruit has dropped off quite a bit. Just a touch hot on the after taste. Drink em if you got em. Its good, but no longer great. The fruit that is there runs very much towards the currant side, with just a hint of the original sweetness. Strong note of glycerin. A hint of woodiness and mint too.
