[Lawkipedia] Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) 1995 | Lawkipedia: At age 15, however, this Phelps Cabernet was still going strong. Along with the tasty 20 year old Silver Oak from last night and the 1999 Silver Oak from a couple of weeks ago, this Phelps wine reaffirms my belief that there are still a handful of Napa estates producing wines that can compete with those of Bordeaux when it comes to being worthy of extended cellaring.

[WineZag] Bottle Age Challenge: 1985 Lynch Bages vs. 1985 Chateau Montelena ...: A blind tasting of sixty 1985s, followed by several mini-tastings of some of the less renowned wines of the vintage, in addition to significant tastings I have done of more recent top years of California Cabernet Sauvignons, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, leads me to conclude that 1985 is an excellent rather than extraordinary vintage.
