The opaque-colored 1992 exhibits a huge, chocolatey, smoky nose crammed with gobs of black fruits, This soft, voluptuously-textured, full-bodied wine boasts remarkable concentration and purity. It is a round, flattering, luscious style of Cabernet Sauvignon that will be hard to resist when young. It should keep for 15+ years.

A solid effort, with a mix of intense currant, earth, cedar, juniper berry and tarry notes. Complex and concentrated, it firms up on the finish, with dry, earthy tannins.--'92 California Cabernet retrospective.
