1994
Behrens & Hitchcock - Cabernet Sauvignon Staglin Vineyard
Nicely concentrated, more fruit forward style. Tannins are soft and rounded. Ripe dark berry and black currant furit. Slight spiciness, earthiness add subtle complexity. Long, supple, delicious finish.
1989
Palmer
Classic Bordeaux. More restrained yet ripe blackberry, blueberry and dark pit fruit. Framed by classic Bordeaux chalkiness and wet hay. Tannins are fully integrated with a pleasant, supple, rounded, lengthy finish. Wonderful.
2006
Couhins - Blanc
Good, clean white Bordeaux. Decent concentration. Nice everyday white, surprising for a white Bordeaux.
2004
Alto Moncayo - Campo de Borja
Super concentrated and delicious. Ripe, sweet blackberry and dark berry fruit, blackberry pie and blackberry liqueur. Tannins are almost completely integrated and provide the needed structure to keep this from being cloying. Mouth-staining, palate-ooating finish that lasts 50+ seconds.
1996
Clarendon Hills - Grenache Kangarilla Vineyard Old Vines
This is much better this time. Candied cherry, kirsch and ripe black cherry flavors. Concentrated and medium-bodied. Tannins almost fully integrated, more polished now. Good length to the finish.
