Stunning, still full of life! Hints of honey and caramel, long smooth finish.

Superstar of old-style Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Once it was very tannic and drying it’s now evolved into a wine of sweet pipe tobacco and cherry cola. Still dry, elegant and perfumed

Solid wine still holding on to some good fruit and soft, mellowing tannins. Drink this one soon, though.

Really fun to see a wine I was involved with so beautifully resolved and complex.

Dry for the first taste but fruit emerged after a few minutes. Very enjoyable for a 30year old wine. (Also our 30th wedding anniversary) wedding.
