  March 27, 2023 - Too old - raisiny and starting to show heat. Still a fair bit of oak, after all these years. You can see that this would've been excellent a few years ago, but father time is undefeated.

  October 21, 2016 - Showing superbly after one-hour decant. Plenty of secondary fruit, notes of mocha and tropical fruit. Perfectly balanced acid backbone after initial muted oak.

  December 20, 2009 - From magnum. Interesting aromatics with ripe dark fruits mingled with tar, herbal elements, coconut and pine cones. Very plush in its mouthfeel, a little soft for my liking without much acidity or definition, but very enjoyable with the lamb.

  February 7, 2009 - Dark purle color; after about an hour of aeration the nose opened up to reveal cassis, vanilla and toast; medium to full body with rich complex dark berry fruit nuances; finishes strong; retasted the next day and showed no sign of oxidation; an impressive aged California Cabernes showing nice secondary flavors.

  June 8, 2008 - Karl Lawrence vertical ((wally's)): Some said corked bottle. I say no way. There certainly was some corkyness going on but it was still a pleasant wine to drink. I think any of the flaws just added the complexity of the wine. It was flawed because, for the vintage, it should have proved to be much better-so no score but certainly pleasant and highly drinkable.
