1994 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve
Community Tasting Note

92 Points
Sunday, May 28, 2023 - Memorial Day Weekend, Day 2: The Great Gatsby: A funky green forest floor nose, earth and dark red fruits but on the fading side.
Flavors of stewed plums, damp earth and decaying twigs.
Very soft and almost ethereal, but the flavor profile this time around obviously showed their age and not too well this time around unfortunately.
