Joseph Phelps, Eisele Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon--Vintage 1985
Napa Valley
Levels: into neck
"The backward 1985 Eisele Vineyard is marvelously concentrated, but extremely tannic and at least 5-10 years away from full maturity. Impressively endowed, well-focused, dense, powerful, thick, and tannic, this wine leaves little doubt that the extract, ripeness, and quantity of fruit are more than sufficient to balance out the wine's tannic ferocity. This is a huge, massive, stunningly proportioned Cabernet Sauvignon that should hit its stride by the turn of the century and last for two decades." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, #98 (Apr 1995)
