January 10, 2021 - Deep purple color. Steel edge followed by oak, boysenberry, blueberry and tart blackberry. Some raspberry and flint. Initially thought there was an overripeness to this wine but as it’s evolved in the glass, it seems to brighten up. Quite enjoyable and shocking that this is a 25 yr old wine.

March 2, 2019 - Q1 - 2019 Tasting - 1995 Vintage Napa Valley (NYC): 4th/16 wines tasted double blind. Color on this has some browning. On the palate I am getting dark fruits, herbs, menthol and black licorice. Quite tasty but just outside the top quartile for me.

March 2, 2019 - Q1 2019 Tasting - 1995 Napa (The Apt): Wine #4: This was a wine that I sortof tracked down as the big brother was one of the top wines from that vintage and so thought it would be fun to see how the junior did in the tasting. Probably about what you'd expect. Lots of much darker fruits. Fruit dominant, but some spice. Lower acid. It's more of a 'tasty' style of wine. Still going strong. (2 pennies)

December 28, 2014 - Very primary, ripe and forward nose of black fruit, coffee and oak. Extremely fresh ripe and thin on the palate. Exciting because of it's vitality but a little boring as it was quite one dimensional and lacked depth. Medium finish that showed a little bit of heat.

February 21, 2014 - Beautiful, sweet, black cherry nose, black cherry fruit and plum flavors over dominated by french oaky flavors, excellent structure, short finish, wine was disappointing given its Harlan heritage
