April 14, 2022 - This has a rich, oaky, opulence to it that's classy and although I'll invoke a lot of descriptors that I generally use negatively this isn't a bad wine. In fact, it's delightful in the way that old Cali wines often are: forward, full flavor, cocoa, espresso, Ribena, tobacco, suave tannin, ever so slightly sweet from a toasty oak treatment. Sometimes this style really hits the spot.

April 18, 2018 - Pnp. The nose opens up with plum, tea leafs, tobacco, earth and mushroom. Palate is initially old and tired. After 20 mins, the acidity slowly emerges with sweet dark fruit and tea. The tannins are resolved. Perhaps drinking off the peak but the tertiary amd secondary note are enjoyable. 90+

April 2, 2016 - Pleasant, though quite simple and oddly a touch too sweet and almost nonexistent secondary notes. Not the profile I would expect for a 25 year old wine.

July 18, 2015 - Best for last. This was my last bottle, and probably the best of them all. Wonderful layering of 5 nobles but with a clear California over-ripeness. Some dried herbs, sweet Oak and hints of cassis. 20 second finish and near silky on palate.
