Cardinale was just starting to produce good wine in the early '90s. This bottle had the tannin and acid to age well for 24 years and probably has another 10 years in it. Fine fully mature cabernet but without much other than backbone left.

beautiful color with no bricking. briar and black fruits on the nose. still youthful and somewhat tannic, this wine should continue to drink beautifully for the next 10 years.

Drank this wine from commercial cold storage. Very nice bottle, wonderfull nose, as much fruit as you would expect for the vintge and more than the last bottle. Medium body, ruby color with no bricking. There should be time left for bottles stored well.
