Tasted blind. Slightly funky nose of red fruit, leather, some green notes, and licorice. Good acidity left on the palate with red fruit, iron, a hint of forest floor, and good structure. Nice finish. Didn't feel like a 43 year old wine. Perfectly aged and drinking really nicely.

Fresh, precise Cabernet fruit, still with structure but not tannic. Quite an amazing 42 year-old wine from an era when California Cabernets were so different from the way they are today. Cellared since original release.

We quite agree with CFK below. Beautifully integrated, and all in balance. We wish that Napa cabernets were still made — and priced — like this.

Peppery, herby, tannins gone and living on acids, red currant fruit, fun and a good value. B/B+
