Tobacco, dried fruits, orange peel, dried herbs and nice acid holding up. Definitely past its prime, but still fun. Would be interesting with some aged cheeses.

A basic wine that has aged well. Not a strong Cab nose yet a full one. Soft tannins and a pleasant sweetness. Some sediment.

Drinking better than the 76 george latour i just had. Somehow more youthful and harmonious. Barely on its decline but still wonderful and powerful. The merlot within adds a softness. Acidic library finish. Nice

Cork fell apart but wine was not spoiled. Cinnamon and oak notes with a hint of dried cherries. So fun to open up the 35 year old wine.

Really old but stored properly and payoff was a superb wine from the late 80’s. Early days of Napa have awarded them a great reputation.
