Still has great nose, blackberry, cherry and has a soft finish. Not overdone in the bottle for its age! If you find a bottle at this age do not be worried, worth the $20 I paid at auction!

I was given a case for my wedding and this is the last bottle. A special occation (daughters birthday) brought it out and I enjoyed it with our extended family (not much for each but well worth it!). This is one of the mellowest amazing cabs I have ever had. It was like that Willy Wonka gobstopper that at any given time tasted like a different course at dinner. Strong apricot, ripe blueberry, and just a touch of vanilla...incredible.

well past prime, lacking depth and structure

Reedy, thin. Drinkable but past it's prime. I suspect a few years ago it was very nice indeed.
