"A real head-turner, the 1984 Cabernet Sauvignon from Mayacamas is simply magnificent. Even at thirty years of age, the 1984 is a youngster, with enough depth, structure and intensity to drink well for another 10-20 years. Iron, sage and leather are some of the notes that gradually open up in the glass. The simply, inescapable fact is that the 1984 is going to need more time in bottle before it delivers the kind of drinking experience that is typical of the 1970s wines today, which I suppose makes all the sense in the world."
