Michael Broadbent 4*
Several notes..from a private cellar: high acidity, touch of fat, rich, fleshy and agains, pre-sale in 1996. Next on my first visit to Justino's in 1997..sweet, concentrated, perfectly balanced..Lastly, now with the ""Broadbent Selectons' label in my son's office in San Francisco..Ethereal, delicious…

FineWine International
Nicolau Kopke first came to Portugal in 1638, founding what is now the oldest Port house still in existence. Their aged tawny and colheita wines can be excellent. Colheita means 'harvest' and (by extension) 'vintage' in Portuguese, yet colheita wines are very different from what we understand by the word 'vintage' when it appears on a bottle of Port. Colheitas are best understood as tawny ports from a single year, bottled with the date of harvest on the label. Colheitas wines are aged in wood for at least seven years (most are for considerably longer) until they take on all the nuances of an old tawny wine.

$325.00

Robert Parker 91
"The 1970 is an old style Lynch Bages with plenty of dry tannin in the finish. Compellingly aromatic, it offers aromas of cedar wood, spice box, tobacco, earth, black currants, and new saddle leather. Spicy, concentrated, and burly, with mouth-searing tannin, this big, thick wine is a terrific example of Lynch Bages made in an older style."
Undergound Wine Journal 18.5/20
"Very impressive, deep colour. Cedary, minty nose. Very ripe, California-style Cabernet. A fruity, tannic, minty wine. Great fruit extract. Sweet, rich, long. Loads of ripe, rich fruit. No rush drinking this." Tasting 3/1999

1977 Fonseca (750ml)

$325.00

Robert Parker 93
The 1977 Fonseca is slightly lighter in color and shows some ambering on the rim of the glass. Lilies, cherries, coffee, mocha, and green flower notes can be discerned in its penetrating aromatics. Softly textured, this wine's mouth-feel is exciting yet not as enthralling as the 1983's. Its warm personality is interspersed with toasted walnuts, cassis, and plummy blackberries. Its super-long, sweet finish is harmonious and flavorful.
Wine Spectator 100
Until recently this wine was understated and closed. Now it has opened into a mammoth wine with so much fruit that it crushes your palate. Deep ruby, with ripe raspberry and cherry aromas, full-bodied, with layers of concentrated, sweet raspberry flavors.
Clive Coates 19
Fullish, well matured colour. Quite a firm nose. A big wine as always. Very good depth of fruit. Plenty of energy. Full body on the palate. Spendidly rich and concentrated. Excellent grip. Lots of depth and dimension. Really lovely. Splendid finish. Will last for ages. Very fine indeed.

Beautiful balance of mushroom and currant, with hints of plum on the nose. Full and very soft on the palate, with velvety tannins and a fruity finish. Lots of currant and flowers. 93 points, non-blind.

1985 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle (750ml)

$315.00
FREE shipping on 6 bottles or more. See all qualified wines
Robert Parker 91
A saturated dark plum/garnet color with amber at the edge is followed by an attractive smoky, underbrush, and truffle-scented wine with coffee, smoke, cedar, and jammy cassis/plum-like fruit. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of Chinese black tea, pepper, and soy emerge. There is surprising tannin and austerity in the finish, but the aromatics and attack were convincingly rich and intense.
Michael Broadbent
"Still fairly deep; a blishfully beautiful bouquet that blossomed in the glass; sweet-as red wines go-and very rich, yet (again) with that hallmakr of fine wine: perfect balance, weight and flavour. If not as submlime as the 1961, unahamedly good." Decanter, July 2008

1985 Mouton (750ml)

$375.00
FREE shipping on 6 bottles or more. See all qualified wines
Robert Parker 90
The rich, complex, well-developed bouquet of oriental spices, toasty oak, herbs, and ripe fruit is wonderful. On the palate, the wine is also rich, forward, long, and sexy. It ranks behind both Haut-Brion and Chateau Margaux in 1985. I am surprised by how evolved and ready to drink this wine is. Readers looking for a big, boldly constructed Mouton should search out other vintages, as this is a tame, forward, medium-weight wine that is close to full maturity. It is capable of lasting another 15+ years. This estate compares their 1985 to their 1959, but to me it is more akin to their 1962 or 1953. Anticipated maturity: Now-2012. Last tasted, 10/97.
Wine Spectator 96
"Mouton does it again. Terrific winemaking here, with black currant, tobacco and chocolate aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied with wonderful silky texture. Better after 1998.--The Bordeaux 50." (JS)

1986 Leoville Las Cases (375ml)

$325.00
FREE shipping on 6 bottles or more. See all qualified wines
Robert Parker 100
The late Michel Delon always thought that this was the greatest vintage he produced. We often tasted it side by side with the 1982, because I always preferred the latter vintage. Of course the two vintages are quite different in style: the 1986 is a monument to classicism, with great tannin, extraordinary delineation, and a huge, full-bodied nose of sweet, ripe, cassis fruit intermixed with vanilla, melon, fruitcake, and a multitude of spices. The wine has always been phenomenally concentrated yet wonderfully fresh and vigorous. The wine still seems young, yet it is hard to believe it is not close to full maturity. It is a great example of Leoville Las Cases and another compelling reason to take a serious look and the top Cabernet Sauvignon-based Medocs of 1986. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2035
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 97
Medium red with some amber at the rim. Knockout nose combines tobacco, warm stones, minerals, menthol and burning woodsmoke. Wonderfully dense, silky and sweet, but there superb underlying acidity and tannic structure to buttress the wine flesh. Haut-Brion is widely considered to be the wine of the vintage, but in my experience La Mission is at the same exalted quality level. Drink 2005 to 2030.

Robert Parker 94
FineWine International
The lyrical abstract art of Hans Hartung embodies the essence of his own personal individualism. "The 1996 harvest was classic in character, with ripeness balanced by ample acidity and a fine structure filled out by elegant fruit. The 1986 Brut Vintage is fresh and delicate, with a great subtle interplay of tropical fruit flavors and toasty nuances culminating in an elegant finish." Claude Taittinger
Wine Spectator 92
"Crisp, firm and elegant with a sharply focused beam of pear, spice, vanilla and ginger notes that are rich and concentrated. Finishes with a burst of flavor that stays with you on a long, full finish."

"Extra facets and dimensions abound in this deeply complex and flavorful wine. Impressive for its focus and finesse, though there's an underlyingfirmness and authority in the core of chewy currant, herb and anise flavors. Delicious."
Robert Parker 93
Wine News
A spectacular wine offering forward, appealing scents of raw meat, black pepper, clove and black cherry-cassis. Huge on the palate, yet finely balanced with lluscious, rich, deep, extracted black fruits accented by notes of dried herbs and leather. From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999.

"The 1988 is built along the lines of the 1966, but better made and more concentrated. Medium-bodied, rich, and tannic, it will have to be cellared until the end of this century."
Clive Coates
"Medium-full body. Lovely fruit. Very well balanced. The follow-through is rich and complex and ample, and the wine finishes very long and subtle. Very fine mulberry fruit. More classic than the 1989 and 1990. Fine quality."

E Robert Parker In Asia, Lisa Perrotit-Brown 91
Medium to deep garnet-brick colour. Savoury / earthy notes of soy, hung meat, sweaty leather, tobacco, truffle, a suggestion of cardamom and a slight medicinal / menthol character. The palate gives a high level of acidity with a medium level of silky tannins and a good concentration of spicy, savoury fruit. Long finish. Drink now to 2013. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

"Exotic. Fragrant spicy, roasted fruit and coffee aromas give way to very ripe fruit with toasty notes on the palate. It has good depth, and seems to be opening up after a dumb phase."
Michael Broadbent 5 *
"..A wine of distinctive charm and elegance..a refresing wine on the nose and palate..Deliciously sweet..Next noted in its tenth year: mature looking; perfect harmony..a lovely wine. Most recently, in jeroboam, tasted blind: rich, chocolatey, mocha nose, could only be Right Bank; soft, chewy, elegant, lovely. Now-2015. *****

1989 La Conseillante (750ml)

$350.00
FREE shipping on 6 bottles or more. See all qualified wines
Robert Parker 97
This is an upper-ninety point La Conseillante that is very much in the style of the 1990. In comparing the two vintages, the 1989 has slightly more noticeable tannin and structure, but it is a perfumed, exotic, sweet, expansive, yummy wine that is hard to resist. These two wines represent La Conseillante's quintessential smooth as silk style, which often leads consumers to believe the wines will not last. One of the unexplainable facts of Bordeaux wine drinking is that even the softer, delicious, up-front wines can age impeccably when well-stored. Owners of the 1989 La Conseillantes should not hesitate to enjoy them now, as well as over the next 20 years.
Wine Spectator 92
"Tastes like melted milk chocolate, with a bit of spice. Big and fleshy displaying rich, forward fruit flavor and full, round tannins. It will age but be ready before some '89s. "

Robert Parker 96
Among Louis Latour's grands crus, the 1989 Batard-Montrachet is absolutely spectacular, a near perfect example of just how riveting Batard-Montrachet can be. Even though it is much more developed than the 1989 Corton-Charlemagne or 1989 Montrachet, it should last as long as either of them. The bouquet is bursting with flavors of oranges, smoky oak, toast, and butterscotch. In the mouth there is enormous richness, gobs of glycerin and extraction of flavor, and surprisingly high acidity in view of the wine's massiveness and extract levels. Drink this spectacular Batard-Montrachet over the next 10-15 years. This is an outstanding white burgundy by any standard of measurement. Don't miss it!

Robert Parker 97
The 1989 Chevalier-Montrachet-Les Demoiselles, made in microscopic quantities from a 1.23 acre parcel, is an enormously weighty, blockbuster Chardonnay that is close to 15% natural alcohol (regardless of what the label might say). It reminds me somewhat of the 1980 Chalone. The honeyed, creamy richness, and the huge aromas of smoke, flowers, tropical fruits and nuts are celestial. Drink this extraordinarily concentrated, beautifully crafted bottle of wine over the next 10-15 years.

1989 Lynch-Bages (750ml)

Robert Parker 95
"Consistently backward and dense, with enormous potential, this admirable wine will not be ready for prime time drinking for another 5-7 years. The color is not quite as opaque as the 1990's, but reveals more purple and no lightening at the edge. Hugely concentrated flavors have just begun to offer up a nose of cedar and creme de cassis. Powerful and muscular, with high tannin and superb concentration, this is Lynch Bages at its biggest and most beastly. However, everything is in balance for a stunning evolution. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2030."
Wine Spectator 98
"Perhaps the greatest Lynch-Bages ever produced. Dark-ruby in color, offering plenty of blackberry, mint and spice aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with masses of velvety tannins and a superlong, fruity finish. Yet it's only giving half of what it's got; give it time." --1989 Bordeaux.

"The wine offers a saturated, dark purple color, and a rich, spicy, oaky nose backed up by generous quantities of jammy blackcurrants. Ripe, highly extracted, and full-bodied, with copious amounts of sweet tannin and layers of fruit, this is a knock-out, flamboyantly-styled Cabernet for drinking over the next 15 or more years."
Wine Spectator 93
"Aging extremely well, this is rich, sleek and elegant, with a wide range of black cherry, anise, currant, plum and earth notes that offer depth and complexity, finishing in a long aftertaste." Tasting note from the February 28, 2001 issue of the WS.

Wine News 94
Deep crimson robe. Delicate nose of apricot, light stone and flinty aromas with a hint of pepper. A well-constructed wine with mineral, orange peel, cassis and a backing of oak tannins. A powerful finish defined by tart cherry, mint and oak.

Robert Parker 97
I have drunk many bottles of this wine in many different locations (Cayman Islands, Shanghai, Bordeaux, Paris, and London), including bottles from my own cellar, and I continue to be amazed by how remarkably consistent it is. One of my favorite Lynch Bages, the 1990 is a more forward, fleshier, and sexier version of the brilliant 1989, and represents a poster bottle of what Lynch Bages is all about. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a sumptuously sweet bouquet of roasted meats, herbs, sweet creme de cassis fruit, a massive level of glycerin, and silky ripe tannins. It is a hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on. There is not a hard edge to be found in this delicious 1990, which should last for another 15-20 years in a cold cellar. I would rank the 1990 and 1989 as the two greatest Lynch Bages made in the last 30 years. Release price: ($350.00/case)
Wine Spectator 95
"Very dark ruby color, almost black. Superripe fruit aroma, with notes of currants, prunes and spices. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins."
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 93
"Full medium ruby. Aromatic, vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, bitter chocolate and shoe polish. Chewy, sweet, dense and deep, with the wine strong minerality contributing to the impression of aromatic lift in the mouth. The classiest of these vintages of Lynch-Bages. Finishes with ripe tannins and impressive length. Drink now through 2020."
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 97
Ex-cellar bottle tasted blind at the Lynch Bages vertical. A supremely well-defined nose with notes of macerated black cherries, cedar, dates, wild strawberry and pencil lead. Very opulent, almost voluptuous and yet still somehow, statesmanlike and regal. The palate is medium-bodied, powerful, firm think chewy tannins, touches of liquorice, very sweet and heady. Lovely wine, though not the breeding of the 1989 although a double magnum poured after the tasting is simply stunning in terms of its precocious fruit, its brashness and joie-de-vivre. Just a touch of volatility but utterly delicious and a double magnum was even more enthralling (98) Drink now-2025+ Tasted September 2009.

Robert Parker 95
The current release of Vega Sicilia¿s flagship offering, the 1991 Unico Reserva, will have to satisfy lovers of this great Spanish red until the 1994 is released in 2005. The 1991 is a gorgeous, deep ruby/purple-colored, remarkably youthful effort offering sweet vanilla notes intertwined with black currants, cherry liqueur, flowers, spice box, and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied and intense, with sweet tannin, outstanding density as well as purity, and a layered mouthfeel, this unevolved 1991 needs another 3-4 years of cellaring; it should last for 20-25 years. It¿s a wine of great elegance as opposed to power.

Tannins are well-integrated, with a long, vibrant, pleasantly earthy aftertaste.--1993 California Cabernet retrospective.
Wine News 93
"Exotic nose of vanilla, geranium, sandalwood, mineral and black cherry. Luscious and succulent with medium-full tannins, the flavors replicate the nose and are deep and concentrated. A distinctive and delicious Opus." From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999.

Deep garnet-brick colour. Fragrant aromas of dried cranberries, prunes, cinnamon and cumin giving way to subtler earthy notes of leather and tar. A lot of discernable fruit remains on the palate framed by crisp acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins. Very long, layered finish. Drink now to 2018. Tasted April 2009. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Robert Parker 95
This hedonistic Cabernet Sauvignon's saturated purple color is accompanied by an exuberant, sweet, enveloping fragrance of smoky new oak, and jammy blackberry and cassis fruit. In the mouth, this lavishly wooded, black fruit-filled Cabernet is extremely full-bodied, with superb levels of fruit, glycerin, and extract. Like many 1994 Cabernet Sauvignons, it possesses extraordinary equilibrium, with the sweet tannin giving the wine considerable accessibility. The finish lasts for nearly 30 seconds. This will be a fun wine to drink young, but do not discount its aging ability as it should last for two decades.

"This is an impressive effort from Opus One. The wine, a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 1% Malbec, possesses a dark ruby/purple color, followed by a generous, complex nose of lead pencil, toasty oak, violets, and black currants. In the mouth, there is a beautiful texture, soft, generous, low acid, full-bodied richness, and a stunningly proportioned, rich, intense finish. The influence of 18 months in new French oak casks gives the wine a subtle oaky note in addition to giving it excellent delineation. Because of the wine's softness and generosity, it can be drunk now as well as over the next 18-20 years."
Wine Spectator 97
"A wonderful sense of harmony and finesse to this graceful, elegant wine. Lots of complex flavors, with tiers of spicy currant and black cherry. Long, intricate aftertaste."
Wine News 94
"Fragrant, appealing scents of black fruits, dried thyme, cinnamon-clove spice and French oak enhanced by notes of tobacco leaf and leather. Smooth, round and elegant, yet generous, delivering absolutely delicious,spicy, plummy fruit tinged with dried herbs that lingers into the extended finish. Opulent Opus at its best."

Robert Parker 95
The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (the first Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon they have made) is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged completely in French oak casks. It is another profound Cabernet from the exceptional 1994 vintage. The wine's opaque purple color and huge, massive richness do not come across as heavy, despite the wine's extraordinary intensity and thickness. There is enough acidity for freshness, and plenty of sweet, well-integrated tannin. This large-scaled, magnificently-endowed Cabernet Sauvignon needs 5-6 years of cellaring, but it should keep for 25+ years. This Spring Mountain winery continues to push the envelope of quality as evidenced by the current releases - the finest wines they have yet produced. Moreover, these wines catapult Pride Mountain into the top echelon of California's quality wineries.

"A sleek and elegant, rich and concentrated Cabernet, with sharply focused black cherry, currant, plum and wild berry flavors interspersed with cedary tobacco notes. Finishes with a burst of fruit and finely integrated tannins."
Robert Parker 98
"I believe the 1995 is the finest produced under the Araujo regime. It is close to perfection. The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse. The saturated purple/black color is followed by aromas of sweet vanillin intermixed with riveting scents of black currants, minerals, exotic spices, coffee, and toast. There is nothing garish about this subtle yet powerful giant of a wine. A Napa Valley classic, it is full-bodied and extremely rich, yet retains its sense of balance and symmetry. This fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon should age effortlessly for 30 or more years."

The Chassagne Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche is produced from the 1er Cru Morgeot vineyard, yet is not permitted to carry a 1er Cru designation because the Drouhins want it to bear the Laguiche name. The 1995 exhibits an unyielding but fresh and austere nose as well as deep minerally flavors complemented by anise and other spices, an oily texture, and a substantial finish.

"True to form, this renowned California red weaves a complex array of currant, plum, leather, spice and mineral flavors, with a seamless texture and lush but firm tannins. Finishes with an extra lift that keeps the flavors alive and lingering. Quite impressive."
Wine News 95
"Slow to open nose of berry cassis,toasty oask, vanilla, caramel, clove and lead pencil. Even bigger than the 1994 with extracted, concentrated blackberry-cassis frit and medium-full, supple tannins. Mouth-filling with plush textures, this is a massive,intense Opus with excellent aging potential. From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999."

Medium brick colour. Intense nose of dried blackberries and cherries laced with complex aromas of coffee grounds, tobacco leaf, cumin and soy. Nice concentration of mature berry and spice fruit balanced by medium to firm, slightly chewy tannins and medium to high acidity. A more structured style of Opus. Very long finish. Drink now to 2020. Tasted April 2009. Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Allen Meadows, Burghound 90
Powerful, sweet and rich with impressive weight and length and while the flavors lack a bit of finesse, this has now developed lovely aromatic complexity and fine finishing length. To be sure, this is by no means a great Montrachet but it is satisfying and rich and it is drinking perfectly now though there is no rush.

Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 94
Good deep red. Highly complex, musky aromas of spices, flowers, graphite and mustard green, with sexy strawberry and underbrush scents emerging with aeration. Sweet, lush and seamless, with firm but ripe acidity giving shape and verve to the middle palate. Chewy with extract and impressively long on the finish, with late notes of cherry and caramel. Very sexy American pinot. Nearly half of this wine was from the Rochioli East Block.

"The saturated purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard offers an attractive nose of black fruits intermixed with toast, minerals, sublte tar, and wood smoke. Full-bodied, with impressive purity, a multi-layered mid-palate and finish, it is an expressive, pure, more powerful, and larger-boned wine than either the 1997 or 1998."

"Having previously rated it nearly perfect, I was apprehensive of a letdown about tasting the 1996 Leoville Las Cases once it had been bottled, but that concern was quickly dismissed once I put my nose in the glass. A profound Leoville Las Cases, it is one of the great modern day wines of Bordeaux. This wine's hallmark remains a sur-maturite (over-ripeness) of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Yet the wine has retained its intrinsic classicism, symmetry, and profound potential for complexity and elegance. The black/purple color is followed by a spectacular nose of cassis, cherry liqueur, pain grille, and minerals. It is powerful and rich on the attack, with beautifully integrated tannin, massive concentration, yet no hint of heaviness or disjointedness. As this wine sits in the glass it grows in stature and richness. It is a remarkable, seamless, palate-staining, and extraordinarily elegant wine - the quintessential St.-Julien. Despite the sweetness of the tannin, I would recommend cellaring this wine for 7-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2035."
Wine Spectator 92
"A racy, silky red. Intense aromas of blackberries and raspberries. Full- to medium-bodied, with a lovely concentration of fine tannins and a long, long finish. Not as good as the '95. Best after 2002."
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 96
"Saturated bright, dark ruby. Perfumed, vibrant, very youthful aromas of cassis, violet and bitter chocolate. Dense and powerful, with great clarity of flavor thanks to a terrific spine of acidity. Almost painfully structured wine but not at all hard. Finishes very long and gripping, with a note of bitter chocolate. Drink 2012 through 2040."

"This is one of the finest Opus Ones to date, offering a dark ruby/purple color, as well as a striking, intense bouquet of sweet licorice intermixed with blackberries, cassis, plums, and saddle leather. The long finish is filled with glycerin, ripe fruit, and sweet tannin."
Wine Spectator 96
"Wonderful finesse and complexity. Not the up-front opulent flavor of the '94 or '95, but seemingly deeper, with more finesse to the toasty clove, currant, black cherry and spice."
Wine News 96
"Expansive, aromatic nose of dusty herbs, clove, sandalwood, ripe black fruits, leather and toasty oak. Deep, ulra-ripe black fruits are accompanied by a wisp of Medoc-like green herb, with flavors that show excellent concentration and avoid any suggestion of being overripe. A bigger style than bottling up to 1993 with medium-full tannins and considerable extraction that will require several years of cellaring." From 20th Anniversary Tasting held October 1999.

We were fortunate to taste this magnificent new release of Salon recently and all we can say is buy some and put it away for a decade or more. This is the Champagne to leave on your lips when your time to leave this word arrives. If you ever have enjoyed an older vintage Salon, say 1982, 1971, 1953 will know what we mean when we say simply this a truly great Salon. Not to be missed.
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 96
Green-tinged gold. Incredibly complex, intense bouquet of smoky, leesy orange, pear, licorice, minerals and bitter quinine. The superconcentrated citrus, quince and pear liqueur flavors convey an almost painful impression of extract and positively explode across the palate. Elegant, poised and precise in a manner rare for a wine with such flavor intensity. The vibrant, minerally, extremely long finish simply doesn't let up. This should age effortlessly for a decade or two.
Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 96
Wouldn't it be lovely if we could drink Salon Le Mesnil every day? This is an incredibly beautiful, sophisticated, lavishly appointed bubbly with an exquisite blend of aged yeast notes smelling of lightly toasted brioche layered atop scents of vanilla, Meyer lemon, chalk and minerals all in the most seamless and creamy of fashions. Its mousse is smooth but energetic and comes with appropriately pinpoint-sized bubbles. Sporting all the finesse that Blanc de Blancs can manage yet rewardingly deep and rich in flavor, this wine is easily the most impressive bottling in this go-round of world-class bubblies. Three Puffs
Wine Enthusiast 97
"...this just explodes in the mouth with mineral, steel, and flint. The tiny mousse has flasvors of yeast and just a touch of toast. It is rich, but so austere and structured. Like many Salon Champagnes, this will age for 20 years or more."
Wine Spectator 95
A deep, vinous style, with understated power and grace. The lemon verbena, toast and honey aromas and flavors are propelled by the well-integrated structure and fine bubbles. There¿s just a hint of greenness, marking its youthful impetuosity. Great length.
Wine News 96
Delicate aromas of fresh baguette, pecan and chalk with a whiff of Fino Sherry. Bright citrus flavors with mixed caramel, butterscotch and drying mineral notes that mesh nicely in the close. A broad-shouldered wine with the stuffing needed for aging.

"The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is one of the vintage's super-stars. Its opaque purple color is accompanied by super aromatics, immense body, great fruit extraction, superb purity and overall symmetry, as well as a 40+ second finish. Revealing exceptional intensity (but no heaviness) as well as perfectly integrated acidity, tannin, and alcohol, this fabulous Cabernet will drink wonderfully for three decades."
Wine Spectator 92
Starts out smooth, showing rich, earthy currant, hazelnut and nutmeg scents, with a hint of mocha and dense, chewy tannins. Still very youthful, firm and extracted. The first two bottles were corked.--1996 California Cabernet retrospective.
