  December 9, 2021 - Enjoyed over 2 nights, nose of black berry, black cherry, and sage, same on the palate, big body, showing well both nights, tasty, mouth filing fruit, not a great vintage but great winemaking scored well here, and a long, lovely chocolate finish, time to drink up even if you have great storage, photo uploaded.

  February 15, 2021 - I am drinking a couple of verticals bought at the winery almost 20 years ago. Of course they should have been drunk earlier. We drank the 1998 Napa 3 months ago and it was very similar to this.
  There is a slightly funky scent, some bricking, decent acidity and civilized tannins. Not what what this wine was famous for but still very drinkable. I remember writing a similar note for the ‘’97.

  May 17, 2020 - Part of 4 vintage tasting. Familiar oak nose. Wine had aged more than the 97. Much lighter and less structure than 94 - 97. Still fine wine but wouldn’t wait any longer, drink up

  May 27, 2019 - Drank on BI’s deck. Group consensus was that it was pretty bland with no real fruit. It was stored well but a few years over the hill IMO.
