Sorry, here’s the note on the 75:

Been looking forward to opening this and it did not disappoint. Cork was fully saturated but after easily removing the cork in one piece with my Durand (love my Durand), I knew from the first sniff that we were in business. Really pretty crimson red color with shockingly little/no bricking, and a nose full of cherries and dirt. In the mouth this is lovely with waves of raspberry, rhubarb, and earth and leather on the finish. Medium plus bodied with an amazing mix of fruit, secondary notes, and acidity. Just a beautiful wine and true pleasure to drink. Life is good!!

Great note, I think my impressions on the '75 were similar although ours took maybe 15-30 minutes to get going, we thought it might be corked at first but it came around. The dry Harbor wines are getting really tough to find. Thanks for the photo Ken!

Interesting. I have a '75 Deaver and a couple '79 Napa. Just need an excuse to pop one. (Was at that dinner with Ken and Matt.)
