Pretty amazing stuff. Incredibly youthful still, with an abundance of fruit, notably plum. Some leather and earth, but no brett to speak of. Completely resolved tannins with the acid to hold things together. On the decline, but still in the race for a while. A real treat.

Monumental Cali cab, one that might be confused for a great growth Bordeaux at least in the 89 vintage
