This held up surprisingly well. A touch of fruit left, mostly dried characteristics but soft tannins and good acidity.

Not the best bottle I have had but so incredibly lucky to get to taste these on a regular basis. #Timetraveling

@Kelli White and I may have failed at calling this, but Ben sure succeeded in pouring us a beauty. Super fresh, fine detailed tannins and fruit very much intact.

Another stunner from the 70's - really showed the age ability of Napa Valley Cabernets of that age. Garnet color with good acid and evolved grippy tannins. Flavors of dried flowers, boysenberries, earth, smoke, and some lovely funk! I want more!
