Alive and kicking. 25 years old and really not showing it. These 90s Napa Cabernets are really impressing me. This one seemed to have a nose of jasmine and blackberry and a little bit spicy. Entry was mature ripe blackberry, black cherry. The middle started to have a little bit of olive and green pepper showing up with some truffles. The finish was very soft, tannins just about gone. Really neat bottle, surprise pull from Dan! I think this one is beyond peak, headed down the backside of the hill slowly, but probably a solid 5 years left. If you have any of these, pop and enjoy them because this was a treat!
