Drank side by side with 1993 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain. Colour just slightly redder than the Dunn but every bit as intense and bright. Mid-red and red fruit, forward, balsam and cedar wood on the nose. Palate is great example of Napa, rich fruit, balanced, mouth coating. Tannins still present but have to look for them. Long balanced finish. Also love the low alcohol. This is likely at its prime.

Dinner at the Papies (The Papies, Elizabeth St, London): Decanted and served. We are big lovers of 90s Napa and this was another nice example until you get to the point of the slightly burnt fruit that robs the wine of elegance and makes it light porty and unbalanced. A good 91 nonetheless but far from the mark of what Napa delivers in that period of time.

My wife's drunk friend went in my cellar and drank this while I was away from the home. She thought it "tasted old and weird." She is an idiot and if Molly McFall is ever in your home lock your cellar!

a bit rough and slightly unbalanced, came across a bit "porty", maybe already on its way down
