Decanted. Clear deep garnet-blood red. Bordeaux-like, mellow, classic bouquet of red and black fruits and their liqueurs; tobacco, turned soil, forest floor, baked rhubarb pie, bay leaf, cardamom, eucalyptus. Full body, seamless, balanced, elegant. My #2, group's SECOND PLACE among reds tonight.

Decanted and shared w/wine group dinner. Lovely old mature Cabernet. Definitely some age on this puppy but still alive. Still some in there with the secondaries. A little dirty but fun to drink. Much better than the last bottle which seemed a bit thin. Notable bricking, little sediment. Tannins soft. Great QPR.

Old, elegant, and refined. Very enjoyable though in its twilight years. Minor funk, plenty of red fruit, touch of earth. Acid and tannins in check. Thanks to Whine-oh for sharing.
J&A's bottle, a magnum, purchased for $99 at Costco in 1999 and stored cool/passive since. Deep maroon color with only minimal bricking, doesn't show its age. Great mature CalCab nose but very soft on the palate with almost no tannins. Still, fun and delicious.
