1984 Diamond Creek "Volcanic Hill" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Bid on this bottle of 1984 Diamond Creek "Volcanic Hill" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (94RP, 93WS). Wine Advocate: "The 1984s appear to be the last of the big, bold, full-bodied, super-concentrated Diamond Creek. The wines produced after 1984 have been more polite and oenologically correct. What a shame! The enormous 1984 displays no signs of age in its dark, saturated ruby/purple color. The nose exhibits some evolution, with cedar, leather, and jammy fruit scents beginning to emerge. Still frightfully tannic, full-bodied, and highly extracted, this backward, chewy wine is one of the slowest evolving 1984s. (RP)" (08/1994)
