May 30, 2021 - Garnet colored with a ever-so-slight gray-brown hue starting to set in, medium bodied, balanced black cherry and plum fruits are being overtaken by notes of cedar, wood, herbs and black tea with tannic acidity on the moderate finish.

February 22, 2018 - Mixed findings Olles cellar, wine #6: rich and complex nose with anise, hay, leather, cedar, wood and a creamy touch. Cherries and black currant on the palate, fine tuned tannins, floral notes, oak. Develops nicely in the glass, perfectly mature but still early in drinking window, a wine for the ages. Complex and rich. Beautiful dry finish. WOTN with BV=5, WV=0

May 11, 2017 - Purchased from and autographed by Mike Girgich himself - Silky and classic old school cab with a longer drinking window than imagined. Opened up and decanted with a good deal of ripe fruit straight into the decanter. As the minutes ticked by the wine really opened, fresh and vibrant with a delicate black licorice and cassis finish.
Big winner, could have gone another 2-3 years. -

January 16, 2012 - this one was a bit past its peak but still smooth and soft on the palate. Nose of earthiness and a hint of fruit, short finish and a great counterbalance to a slightly spicy beef stroganoff. Now on to the 1997s.

wish I had more
