  July 19, 2022 - At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, July 17, 2022: (Tasted blind) This is unmistakably an aged cabernet, but, given its power, I thought it was Californian. Impressively robust for a 40-year old cru bourgeois.

  May 4, 2022 - Coravin fun - Older Bordeaux mini-taste (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Initially a little cellar stink which blows off to show leathery black fruits, sweet spice, porcini, wet earth; quite Autumnal notes. In the mouth it's dense, a little sour, brambly fruits, like the Cos Labory the tannins are fully resolved, a little alcohol warmth on the slightly short finish. Drink up for me on this taste.

  April 30, 2022 - Tasted against 1993 Penfolds Grange, 1988 Cullens Cabernet, 1988 Lindemans St George, and other distinguished reds, this was a standout. Lovely cassis, tobacco, vanilla and tea chest on the nose, it was perfectly balanced, long, medium bodied with tasty fruit and a hint of dusty tannins. The consensus gave the wine at least another decade of good life. This has been a bargain Bordeaux for many decades and often outperforms the classed growths.

  February 5, 2022 - Matt’s 40th Party (Fallsington, PA): no expectations. Clearly past peak but surprisingly drinkable, some fruit, loads of tertiaries, not a drinker, but late night a good 9th 82 bottle.

  March 23, 2021 - From Coravin. Left this about 40 minutes in glass before approaching. Cellar stink, mushroom, forest floor, damp leaves...the palate is a little more vibrant; ripe black and red currant, touch of bramble, mushroom, forest floor, leathery near resolved tannins have a touch of talc texture. Long. Yum.
