  Wow. During a night of fine wines, this stood apart from the crowd, in the very best of ways. Served double-blind, I guessed 1985 Napa Cab; lucky squirrel meet nut. So much elegance, with structure remaining to see this through another 10 or more years if your cellar is nice and cold. Stunning aromatics akin to the best aged left-bank wines. Floats in rarified are for good reason. Fully mature to my palate, and within the limits of its apogee. Glorious. highly recommended

  Takes about 3 hours for the funk to blow off. The nose and palate become fresh with red fruit and a pronounced floral note really enjoyed this 37 year old. Old school cab glad I have 3 more in the cellar.
  
  Time open is key to enjoying old diamond creeks

  Opened with dinner. Poured a 2009 Sauzet La Garenne and the Diamond Creek before sitting down. The Diamond Creek opened beautifully with some gradual improvement over the meal. My last one at a perfect time.

  Part of our No Wine Under 25 (Yr.) tasting. Poured to dark color, but absolutely undrinkable.

  Bought at auction with CRL and opened, along with many others at a party at my house. Much better than we had any right to hope for a bottle like this . Balanced, solid fruit profile. Improved as the night wore on. Finish was a bit weak but otherwise a great ROI.
