Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon -- 6 bottles, one bottle each from 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989.

* Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 1985 -- Despite the deep color and powerfully concentrated aromas of ripe currant and cedar, the structure and flavor are beautifully reined in, all currants, raspberries and tobacco. Elegantly built, complex and long. Wine Spectator rating -- 91.


* Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 1986 -- On first sniff, this reveals itself as the complex wine it is, with smooth texture and deep plum, cherry, tar and vanilla flavors, long and perfumed. Wine Spectator rating -- 94.


* Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, 1987 -- Delicious, with its intense, concentrated, rich and sharply focused black cherry, currant and chocolate flavors. Despite the abundant flavors and tannins, the texture is still smooth and seductive. Deceptively powerful and amazingly graceful. Best Cabernet ever from Duckhorn. Wine Spectator rating -- 95
