Awful looking bottle I bought from Cellarsearchers for $10 - leaked, crusty, cork had been seeped past. Not a pretty sight but $10, lets give it a try. Fair amount of solids in the bottle. Originally a reddish color with little bricking. Deepened over the hour. A touch acidic early but that went away and this became a wonderful, mature cab. In complete balance. Fruit was on the plum side with a touch ofblood orange. Some leatherwith a silky smooth finish. Wow!

Still youthful in appearance. No brown and deep dark color. A little bit of earth on the nose. Fruit good but probabling fading. Pretty good effort for a 25 year old CA Cab.

Barnyard and spice and oak. Complex interplay of flavors, classic aged Napa cab. Cherry, forest floor. Long finish. Tasted at Insignia Day 2011.

Mature and Near Mature Trimbach, Burgundy, and Bordeaux (Palena, Washington, D.C.): Good color for its age. Compared to the old Bordeaux on the table, very ripe and simple except for a distinctly minty note. It has certainly held up, but it left very little impression beyond that.
