Opened at church for a not quite killer bar. Good but not great. The 99 Chabot opened the week before at church (a goodly percentage of which goes into the Private Reserve) was much better. This bottle had the feeling of being not well kept, yet came from the same large WineBid cellar as the Chabot.

After storing this for 18 years it came out as expected. The color was still good, the body did get lighter. Mouth feel was nice and easy! Good fruit up front through the middle with a pleasant finish that did not last long. I enjoyed it! It was good to remember 1999.

Superbe Cali-Cab de 23 ans bien sonné.
Nez magnifique de poivrons, cassis, léger boisé, cuir.
Bouche mature où l'on retrouve ce beau poivron.

Auction purchase. Dry cork. I'm back to loving this.
