  March 14, 2021 - Had 2 bottles tasted in a row. The first showed bricking and was over the hill. The second was still good. Balanced Cabernet, black currant, mocha and hint of anise and spice. Medium length. Aged less well than the 1997 Mondavi Oakville Cabernet tasted simultaneously. Drink.

  May 5, 2018 - 2 bottles bought at auction. The first was tired. This one is fantastic! Rich, mouth filling cabernet, loaded with black currants and hints of mocha and nutmeg. Good length and some ultra fine tannins still kicking. Intoxicating nose as well. Excellent California cabernet.

  March 15, 2015 - Nez de vieux cabernet, boite à cigare, mine de crayon et cèdre,
  En bouche, il a du corps, l'attaque est pleine, sur le fruit mûr, les tanins sont fondus, c'est goûteux et assez complexe, mais ça tombe un peu vite après le milieu de bouche. Encore très bon mais à boire sans attendre, je soupçonne qu'il était meilleur il y a 5 ans. 90 pts
