  A bit declining. Still at a very high level but loosing some structure and precision. Some ripe fruits and tannins. I would not much longer. 95

  December 31, 2023 - Enjoyed with my New Year's Eve dinner of filet mignon. This wine remains tasty and impressive. My notes from the past continue to hold true. I decanted for 1 hour and then served. Had to strain from the bottle due to a rebellious cork.

  September 17, 2023 - Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): I can appreciate why others really like this rich and powerful black-fruited powerful wine, I just find it slightly less multi-dimensioned than great wines with this same volume. Still, very tasty indeed.

  December 25, 2022 - Late entry. Best California Cabernet I’ve ever had, bar none. Glad to have had the opportunity to try one. Served with ‘82 Mouton and ‘67 D’Yquem for Christmas lunch/dinner.

  October 30, 2022 - Was shared at a dinner party. Beautiful aroma, vibrant flavor, and the finish went on for ever. Fully resolved tannins.
  From a magnum.
  Not sure what perfection is, but this has to be remarkably close.
