Holy shit was this amazing! Had to convince my dad that it was worth opening,and I did not lead him astray. Super classic Cali cab, leather and spices but still has some fruit present in the form of dried strawberry leathers, bramble and rose, just so freaking amazing that this is drinking so well after 43 years.

Still going strong, but definitely on the backside of it's life. As round and smooth a mouth feel as anything I've had. Mostly secondary and tertiary but there is still some brambly fruit present. Very slight bricking, nose of muted roses , two minute finish with elegant tannins still providing a frame for the wine.

Simply excellent, a streak of mint or eucalyptus or similar, surrounded by plush tannins. Excellent all around.
