Very nice - big bing cherry fruit concetrated on the middle pallete. med to med-high acid and med silky tannins underpin a long finish. Almost 30 yrs old and drinking nicely.

Picked up as part of the library offering. I know I should have let it rest a while longer, but I couldn’t wait. Quite a complex wine. Cork was a mess to get out (as expected) A little funky for the first 15 minutes or so but came into its own over the next few hours. Good nose, body and fruit. Very heavy sediment.
Looking forward to the rest of bottles in this offering

Poured off a glass for an hour. Brighter fruit at first. Slowly filled out and integrated over 4 hours. Put cork in after 2nd hour. Bigger sediment, but not fine. My first from the library sale. Great stuff.

from the ravenswood sales. Needed an hour to open up and then it taste like old napa with the 13% alcohol. drank with a steak and was perfect
