1984. Wow. This was a surprise wine, showing well. Never would have guessed Napa. Smooth, well balanced

WOW! One of the best pleasures in life is enjoying a spectacular wine at its pinnacle. Tonight was one of those nights. Dining with life long friends we enjoyed this wine. A dear friend selected this bottle as a backup for dinner. A definite case of Wally Pip taking the day off. This wine is not just peaking, it sings from the glass. Everything you expect from a classic Napa Cab with the style, elegance, and finesse of a First Growth in spades! You want aromatics, here is red and black fruits, cigar tobacco, lavender, anise, scorched earth, Asian spice…okay so we drifted into mid palate yummy flavors. A finish that lingers while dancing over the palate for more than 30 seconds, titillating the taste buds into pleasurable submission. Did I mention the WOW factor? This wine has it! Where can we find more?!?? What a spectacular selection!

Signed bottle from GBH and noticed seepage and slight bulge in cork so thought it a goner. But what a glorious classic dusty acidic old timey Cali Cab! Perhaps past its 'prime' in terms of primary fruit, deep garnet color but with very subdued nose, a classic palate with tobacco, leather and all that classic Cab notes and long finish. Still lively and an elegant wine. Wow! Next day nose opened up with Sherry and mushrooms notes and more silkiness on palate.

1984 vintage. Tasted blind. Cherry and tobacco followed by hints of oak. And it just smells *old*. Mild sharp drying tannin and backed by strong acidity.

Really good example of aged ca cab. In decline with graceful flavors of cedar and tobacco with still a good amount of ripe fruit.
