Rich and lush, lots of violet, cassis, tar, dark cherry. On palate, rich cherry, tobacco, long pleasing finish, smooth tannins. Quintessential Napa cab from the pre- high alcohol fruit bomb era.

Very balanced classy wine. No hard edges. Bramble and bruised plum.

The cork deteriorated completely. Lots of sediments. Too old to drink now.

Epic cork failure. My fault for trying to pull a 16 year old cork through a thick wax capsule. Unfortunately the cork didn't break into pieces, but into sawdust. Decanted with a fine strainer, then again with a coffee filter, but still not enough. Would give this a 9.2 easy on the nose, but never got all the cork out. Auction bottle, so presume prior storage conditions may have contributed to overly dry cork.😒
