I just grabbed a 91 M. Coz and a 92 Rubicon from the back of a friends store. I'm guessing it's now or never on both... yes?

Hi GAD, sorry to be late with this but you have a couple of pretty derned good drinkin' bottles. If they have had good storage they should be close to the top of their game. Give us a tasting note on these 2. The 91 Coz was outstanding a year ago whenced last it covered my gums. No history on the 92 Ruby-snort but I've never had a 92 I didn't like as my tasting of this super vintage from my cellar will attest. WW

Thanks much WW. Will report as soon as they be gone.

Had the 91 Coz. The nose was still there, but the fruit was weakening. A little to soft on the pallet for my liking. Some, however, would say it was just right. Still I can't complain at the price of $0. It's always funopening something that is new to you, but has some age to it.

10-12 years is about max for the Coz except under ideal storage as this meritage blend normally uses only about 40/50% cab. Still a very pretty bottle normally. WW

Well, the 92 Ruby was about the same. Pleasent and pretty on the nose, but quite light on the pallet. I am rethinking how long I store my cabs big time.
