Fantastic yet again and still going bold and strong. Tobacco, tar, mushroom, and (as a friend said) horse-sweat-under-the-leather-saddle. I have five bottles remaining with no urgency to consume. (6/27/2023)

Supposedly an off year, just spectacular, tasters thought it was 10-15 years old not 35, dark purple, fresh fruit, currants, blackberry, almost no secondary characteristics, but typical wet slate of HM, integrated tannins, long, long finish, glad I bought a case. (2/10/2023)

The 1988 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain is one of the many highlights in this tasting. Initially quite reticent, the 1988 turns positively explosive with time in the glass. What a pleasure it is to watch the 1988 develop over several hours. By the end of the night, the 1988 is positively electric. Smoke, black fruit and menthol inform the deep, powerful finish.
