Nicely aged cab. Sour red fruit and tertiary flavors. Smooth. Would drink up.

Another bottle from the same source. This one even better. Pure, refined cassis. Leather, black cherry, cola, red currant. Acidity is quite literally perfect. No sour fruit, just a lively current running though each sip. Magic.

Reports of this wine’s demise are greatly exaggerated. I found this on a shelf in a liquor store in Fells Point. The quality is frankly stunning.
Raspberry, sour cherry, leather, butter, must, plum on the nose.
Palate is just darn perfect. Blueberry, red currant, leathery, earthy goodness. Provides lively acidity that gives the wine a great sense of youth. Extremely balanced and, at 13.3% ABV, reinforces my yearning for the old days of Napa.

This required 90 min in the decanter to open up. This was much better then expected and improved over the course of the night. Probably past it’s prime but still drinking surprisingly well.
