Spottswoode
Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasted out of 12 magnums. Library recorking. One of the best 1988 Napa Valley wines I have tried.

Big fruit still there, spices, cigars box. Perfect balance on the palate, good acidity and fabulous tannin. Just a touch too much of wood still there. I wouldn't have said it had 25 years of life. Not too complex.
