Starting off this birthday week celebration with some old school wines, this one was the first Cabernet up (rounding up to tasting note 1,000 on Delectable this weekend).
Seems like this had been stored very well, cork came out perfectly.
Deep brick red. Seemed like a touch of TCA on the nose that wore off with some time and added some layers of damp wood, forest floor, red cherries and violet. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium to medium plus body. Tons of red fruits intermingled with some earthiness and woody notes. Long finish. Drink now.
