Very, very deep purple. Black cherry. Round, full, suave, and very appetising. Tannins now quite soft. Nicely refreshing dry end and acidity.

This knock-out Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a youthful purple color, a sweet, blackcurrant, vanilla, and earthy-scented nose, great ripeness and sweetness of fruit, high flavor extraction, well-integrated acidity and tannin, and a layered, multi-dimensional, complete feel in the mouth with no hard edges or toughness. There is splendid balance and concentration. The 3.63 PH gives the wine a juicy, succulent, up-front feel, and a chewy, expansive, layered texture. This wine requires 4-5 years of cellaring, with the potential of 30+ years of aging. A terrific 1991!

Rich and plush, deeply concentrated, with complex currant, coffee and cedar, and a twinge of stalky bell pepper and green bean. Finishes with tobacco notes and firm tannins. Turns herbal, but has a long way to go.--'81/?91 California Cabernet retrospective.

Still has years to go. Ruby red color with classic "old" Cabernet nose. Cigar box and smooth. Awesome wine!

Fully mature (a little over the hill even) but still retaining good color. Rose, allspice, mincemeat, and vaguely fruity aromatics. Dusty tannins. Light on the palate while the wine?s structure still retains considerable vitality. That?s not a good combination. The wine lacks sufficient concentration for any more cellaring. Drink up.
