This was an award winning Cabernet in the 80s and a gift from my mother-in-law. After opening and allowing it to breathe for 45 minutes it had very little bouquet and mild attack. It is past its prime but still has very good mouth feel and was nice to drink. Finish was pleasant but short. We should have consumed it long before now. It is still drinkable but no longer special.

This is a pleasant balanced wine served with a fine steak. Uninspiring. Pleasant nose. Bland finish. Spouse liked it less than I did. Will not buy again.
