Opened up at the right time, with the right people, with all the other awesome vintage Napa wines being opened. To me, this one shows incredible youth for being 41 years old. This wine has a nose of blackberry and fig. Black pepper and spice. Enters with a little bit of a nitrogenous and barnyard character, but wow what a youthful exuberance it still had. The cork was withdrawn intact. With probably about 25% of the cork with seepage but the other 75% completely dry and intact. With many vintage Napa, I find myself being a little bit bored with just one taste. Yet I found myself going back to this one time and time again. if you are still holding one of these, now is the time to think about drinking these in the company of your best friends.
